don't let you intimidate by fancy camera gear or fancy locations. everyone can make okayish photos when they have top notch cameras and a great location.

the interesting part is to take everyday situations and a simple camera and still being able to create good photos!

social media influencer get expensive gear for free to show and tell how good and fancy it is, and what you can accomplish with it. nobody will post a good photo create by a potato camera and be proud of it. they also get holidays for free. but let assure you good photos don't need expensive gear or fancy locations.

find the special things in everyday life!

Yep i can absolutely still take atleast according to my definition hehe decent pics with my phone in quite a few conditions.. like the one i attached in the original post, however in most cases the biggest problem is tbh is being stuck with essentially a very small focal range.. there are a lot of cases i feel i could take a good pic if i just had a better telephoto lens, but manufacturers seem to always prioritize ultra wide lenses..

Edit: like this completely random one i found kinda cool haha
