@daringfireball @gruber On what is a photo, and I know it isn't the same, but do you see any overlap with the 24 MP photos the iPhones 15 take? That's also not a "real" photo, but do you see any convergence?

@vilhelmr @daringfireball Slightly, but very much inline with HDR: it's still attempting to capture reality, as perceived by human eyes, from a certain perspective at a certain moment in time.

@gruber @daringfireball I get the point, but it's also a loose definition. I've definitely seen HDRs that looked nothing like the real world, and long exposures often create photos that look nothing like what it does in real life (whether it's a waterfall or a night sky).
