I was in Seattle at the Pike Street Market. It's a tourist magnet, hundreds and hundreds of tourists, including me. Here's the next wave for photography.

The Next Wave for Photography I was in Seattle at the Pike Street Market. It's a tourist magnet, hundreds and hundreds of tourists, including me. Here's the next wave for photography.He's using a iPhone 4 for making a small movie. He's using an app that also take some photos with the “mini-movie”. He had a team with him, a producer/script manager, a photographer and an assistant. He's from Brazil (he smokes!) They spent most of the morning making mini movies.At the Pike Street Market, half of the people used a small point and shoot, a third of the people used their smart phones (more on that later) and the rest of the people had lower-end dSLRs like Canon Rebels and Nikon D3000/D5000. I saw only one Leica M9 and a couple of Nikon D3s.This is very good news for professional photographers. It's very easy to see the difference between a “real” camera and a smart phone even at 8 megapixels like the new iPhone 4s. Also, it's much more difficult to make the transition from a smart phone to a “real” camera.seattle-20111002-5576.jpg — Copyright © 2009 Syv Ritch: http://http://www.foto-biz.com/usageterms
