Well, my sweet babboo is already a lost cause. He may as well sell his gear, cause he hardly uses it nowadays. His new passion is metal detecting (aka finding metal junk in the ground) and his 500mm hasn't been used in I don't know how long. He still has the eye and an account here, for which I paid, and probably for that reason he hasn't used at all in recent memory.
He still plays with the 5D MkIII and wide-angle or 70-200 every so often, but more often than not I hear the sickening sound of a pic (usually some cruddy old coin) taken with his phone's camera. So disheartened. |

Not really, it's our inherent laziness.
The next iteration iPhone will probably monitor the recent style of shooting in People/Vougue [eg blown-out backgrounds], set the camera such, you press the button, and the image is sent automatically to your 4 dedicated web-areas, including DPC, each one with its own correct generic post-processing, the phone grabbing a title from a quick search of similar images on the net. As little involvement by the photographer as possible.
In 5 year's time all the hardware will have moved into your contact lens, you only have to blink. |
Astral photography is going to be a bitch. Imagine trying to keep your eye open for 45 minutes and keep your head still as well ;-) |

Action shots at high frames per second will just make you look like you have something in your eye.
