It cant, all you did was slap a filter on a jpeg.
So you think your filter that lifted the blacks while crushing the contrast and colour is better 
The only thing worse than you destroying my photo is your ignorance of photography.

Clearly photoshopped, the moon wouldn’t fit inside there

I quite like this one. Like I said, I’m not a photographer so I can only comment from a more… uninformed perspective

You might say that my appreciation of art is poor, I said earlier I wasn’t much interested.
To say I am ignorant about photography is nonsense.
Photography
noun
- the art or practice of taking and processing photographs.
My first camera was a Kodak Brownie 127
The images produced by it were developed using the "See Saw” method and contact printed on orthochromatic baryta paper.
I taught the practice of processing Ilford Cibachrome and Kodak C41 film.
Here’s another view about the specialist camera.
You flattened the contrast and blew out the highlights when processing @Cerberus’s photo. By your own definition, his assessment would therefore seem to be accurate, if a bit harsh (yet understandable, as would be so in any situation where you’re trying to tell an artist that you can improve their art).

You are ignorant because you would know how unprofessional it is to use another artists work without permission, especially to destroy mine as you did.
I still own a brownie and can develop film, not sure what point you are trying to make, you taught a class practical skill but not art

I have a MFT camera, a Panasonic Lumix. But, at the moment, I only use it for video, not stills. Smartphones can’t compete with a decent 4K rig and microphone setup for video, or anywhere close, right now.
As/when I get some better lenses, I may well use it for stills as well, but that’s not a priority.
Interestingly, although I still pack the Lumix for shoots, I’m getting as good and in many situations, better, results from a different type of device - my DJI Osmo Pocket camera.
It shoots in 4k 60FPS, video quality is fantastic in well-lit environments, but the killer feature is that it has a fully stabilized motorized 3-axis gimbal built in, and automatic motion tracking.
This isn’t my footage, but this is a good example of the results you can get with it, with just a touch of grading.
I got a budget to film a short last year in the US, that we are currently pitching around to try and land funding to complete, but although we used a very high end Blackmagic to shoot the talking heads, we used the Osmo for all the B-Roll and it’s looking great.

It is interesting that both the Osmo and Blackmagic would have been rejected for professional use not so long ago and yet it seems that a Blackmagic costing £2/3000 could replace equipment that requires a team to use today.

I feel seen!
That’s one of my favourite quotes on the subject 
I think I cannot add further to what you said - most people never needed a dedicated camera, and still do not, but does not mean there is not a place for them e.g. nature photography
Absolutely - Someone I know is shooting on a Blackmagic rig for a documentary where the budget is hundreds of thousands of dollars.
9 years working in the film industry, yet to see a black magic camera 
Documentary film making the go to camera the last few years has been the Sony FS7 and probably now will be the Sony FX9.
You tend to see certain brand of cameras on shoots because the DOP has personally bought it. RED cameras top that list the most. Thankfully don’t see many of them.
Are Canon DSLRs still being used to make film? I personally knew someone who worked in the industry who used those, though last time I really spoke to them was a couple of years ago. And wasn’t there an episode of House that was filmed on a Canon?
This also reminds me that I see a lot of ‘professional’ YouTube videos where (either from behind-the-scenes shots, or multi-camera setups catching another cameraman) it’s pretty clear that cameras are being used to capture the footage instead of videocameras. (Wow, that felt such a weird sentence to type.)
I haven’t seen a canon DSLR for a long time, did a few short films back in 2011/12 that used them. The C300 was Canons doc camera, it had a bit of success but the Sony FS7 killed it.
You tend to find the Sony A7 or A7s is used a lot as a second camera for sit down interviews, small to travel and they are brought as the stills cameras anyway.
Looked up the House episode that was shot with a Canon. It was a 5D. In 2010. I didn’t think it was quite that long ago. I’m feeling very old and out of the loop now 
All the talk of Sony cameras reminds me that I have an RX 100 II somewhere. I should find it and experiment with it again, probably. To go full circle in this topic, almost, it was a camera that I purchased intending to use for ‘casual’ walking and shooting, but ended up not using as much as I expected as I found I just used my phone camera in such situations instead (think it was an HTC X or HTC 11 at that time).
