even my older generation Nokia phone can take better pictures

Found the same photo in my morning paper. Interestingly enough it had a Reuters byline there - thankfully the text explained it was actually taken by Kate's father

I think that in this case it is not so important the quality of the image, but the fact that it is unique.

Think is deliberate - to show they are Down with the peasants - I believe the queen is a keen photographer - with her Leica

At least Kate's dad put them in the shade with some back lighting.

Now let's see your shot of them Luis.

I can take a snap like this one for your profile if you wish

Does it Henrik the VIII?

I think it is a lovely family picture. You can see they look happy even without perfect lighting and photoshop.

I won't be holding my breath waiting for you to get a picture of the royal family.

If the royal family is putting out family snaps taken with a crappy phone cam, then Yuri might be the one laughing last. Could he have it right after all?

I'm not trying to insult other photographers. But I guess that makes you feel good about yourself.

oh please, read this topic again (at least your posts) and tell me the reason behind the following one:

Easy you are trying to insult the photographer of that image, so I said let's how much better your shot of the royal family is. The point being you cannot even get close to being allowed to take a shot like that. I'm curious what the point of this topic was, other than to try to insult someone?

1st I haven´t insulted anybody apart from you after your sad entry (if I have insulted Kate's father please tell me where)

2nd the point of opening this topic is relatively simple to explain, pretty much this is being talked in all social networks so I had the feeling it would interesting to talk about it here too but once again iStock/Getty matters cannot be discussed with you, next time you don't like a topic I open please move along, I won't miss it and sure other as well

The pics of George aren't there (yet?).

just goes to show it's know what you know, but who you photograph.

Silken Photography · « **Reply #22 on:** August 20, 2013, 22:42 »

On the plus side, it shows in a very public way the difference between a family snap and what a pro portrait photographer would produce.

On the down side, "If it's good enough for the royal family..." - why pay for a pro?

I imagine they just saw a nice pic and thought it might be nice to share with the general public, who will lap it up. For the royals, this is their equivalent of putting a photo on facebook to show their friends.

Reuters acts as distributor if the author gave it to them, Getty credits "handout" so i guess the author gave the memory card to some reuters or getty guy ?
