Merry and bright edition

So I see some absolutely beautiful sunrises at work this time of year. Realistically what kind of gear would I be looking at to get better than my phone camera (iPhone 14). Not sure on what I’m looking for, but I would also like it to be capable of low light exposure/ night time for aurora. Literally have no idea on what I need and the options available out there are worst than trying to figure out what caliber you need for accuracy out at 300 vs 1,500 yards. Is the iPhone just good enough for my amateur needs?

This is our cozy condo. its a bit dated but its clean and I have 0 problems living in Cali. it has awesome nature trails in the hills and beaches. not everything is Tenderloin (SF) or Skid Row (L.A.) or Oakland. 85% of the Bay Area is very livable and about 50% of L.A. is decent. San Diego probably beats all of the sea side Metros.

I want to buy a Christmas gift for a girl and I thought of a polaroid as a great gift for her. My question to you, /p/ederasts, is whether it's worth it and not just a meme

I got myself a Samyang 14mm f/2.8 ED AS IF UMC for my EOS 700D. This is the second copy I have because the first one was decentered. Do you think the coma on this one is alright, or should I send it back?

Are CCD bridge cameras the best way to hop into the CCD trend? I don't want to have to get APS-C lenses for a CCD SLR and digital point and shoot seem terrible. Anyone have experience or their own shots to post? TIA

Canon EOS R6 Mark III + RF 24-105mm f/4-7.1 IS STM

Is this a good first camera?

So what's your excuse, /p/?
