This one was planted by a squirrel in the chicken yard from nuts from the original trees planted by my great grandpa. It was supposed to be too far north here but on a southern exposure, they did well.

In the end, I took my iPhone 12 as my only camera on the Grand Canyon rafting trip. The results are here: https://cameraderie.org/threads/grand-canyon-trip.53765/post-477896 It was a very camera-unfriendly environment. especially with the water, sand, and limited charging opportunities. I...

Which photography / video apps do you recommend?

I wonder if anyone can help me with this one. I've just started using the camera on my iPhone 13 mini and noticed that the files arriving on the iCloud are about half their resolution on the phone itself. The native resolution of the iPhone is 4032 x 3024 which equates to a jpg file size of...

https://www.dpreview.com/news/0999511934/report-prores-recording-apple-new-iphone-13-6gb-4gb These things are always tricky because many folks do not really consider storage needs. OTOH, if you really want to use your phone to make a movie I guess you should know better and invest in the 1 TB...

I took a stroll around the village to stretch my legs, in a gap between the showers (first rain for 17 days!) this evening, and revisited the Kultcamera app on my phone. I had a blast! I can't remember which combination of camera, film and lens each photo used, though.

Hey Cool Kids, how do I respond/clear the Instagram icon that has the little bubble with the '2' in it? I gather that means I have 2 "somethings" to respond to, but I don't see what they are or how to respond. Or are they just meant to be annoying and frustrating?

A new film simulation dropped a little bit ago for the FIMO camera app in the App Store. It pay homage to a PAN-X camera loaded with Tri-X 400 film. I kinda like it, and played with it a bit today during my 3.5 mile walk through the woods at lunch today. Thought I would share: 1 2 3 4 5

There is a lot of debate about the viability of a cell phone camera as a “main driver”. Everyone has their opinions and I’ll share mine. Just know that this more applies to me and what I do, more so than me trying to tell someone how and what they should do. In this series, we are going to look...

Ohhh but it doesn't have Night Mode, they cried. And my question, therefore, is this... Does it matter? Of course its not an excellent photo, but it was taken in the early hours, and the only available light was from one bar of the radiator and a bit of light from 29% of a LIFX in the...

Here are some sample images from my S20 Ultra. In each pair of images, I took a photo using the wide angle camera on my Samsung S20 Ultra and then repeated the same photo at 10X zoom (combination of 4X optical zoom and additional binning and cropping). These are straight out of the camera with...

My daughter is 6 now and obliged me to test out the new phone camera.

Hi all, For a long time now, I’ve been doing virtually all my photography on an iPhone. I’d like to try carrying around a dedicated camera around again, but it’s important to me that it be very easy to share JPEGs via my phone. Are there any cameras which automatically send all pics to a...

Some good tests on iPhone 11 image quality, with some tips embedded https://shootingstills.co.uk/iphone-11-pro-image-quality-test/ The site has a part 2 available, also https://shootingstills.co.uk/iphone-11-pro-image-quality-test-part2/

I'm on the fence. I've been a long time Android user, but with Google showing their true face here recently(I'll not get into the politics of it, just suffice it to say that it is enough to get me to seriously think of divesting of all the Google products I have) and the early reviews of the...

Walking a bit around Harrisburg with my new iPhone 11 pro (I need to learn how to edit on my phone -- most of these need at least cropping and a few other edits, including downsizing).

As I couldn't find a dedicated thread for this subject, I created this one. Since getting a Huawei P9 phone, which has a separate monochrome sensor, I've really enjoyed using it for spur of the moment shots, like this: Please share your shots.

Is it time for a smartphone camera forum? They are getting quite sophisticated.

I just got this phone and this is the first shot in manual mode. Pretty respectable

Managing Director for OPPO Australia Michael Tran said that "with 10x lossless zoom, our mission was to develop a camera technology that would bring customers closer and let them capture content in a way that no other smartphone manufacturer has to date. We believe we’ve achieved that." "The...

https://www.pocket-lint.com/phones/news/nokia/144959-nokia-9-specs-release-date-and-news It will be interesting to see what those five cameras are - different focal lengths? B&W? - and what computational photography will come from it...

Took this shot this evening of the Shard in London. Hand held, night mode on the P20 Pro. Pretty impressive piece of kit I'd say. The Shard - Huawei P20 Pro by Pete Tachauer, on Flickr

All I can say is that it's ridiculously easy to sort through Holiday photos taken with Pixel 3 and Motion Photos. It's almost scary how the AI was able to show me the recommended photos in a 10 to 20 photo burst, and one of those was indeed the one I would have picked. It took me about 30...

My brain nearly exploded SEVERAL times during this video. Obviously even if you dislike the haptics of cel phone photography (VERY much like I do), you must admit that computational photography is making leaps and bounds. This new Pixel 3 is clearly a game changer (and I already felt that my...

For a long time I was not comfortable composing on my phone in landscape mode. When I moved the phone, the scene on the screen changed in a way that was not used to seeing or dealing with. Here’s how I solved the problem. Place my thumb and index finger on the phone at points directly under and...

This will take some getting to grips with. You can have the AI feature on or off (I think I will favour off but we'll give it a chance!). 40mp or 10mp resolution. JPEG or DNG. Colour or mono (which is 20mp). Anyway, here are a couple of early shots. Standard 10mp mode, AI on Weobley wall by...

Hello all, With friends around me snapping away with their S8 (and even as far back as S4) phone cameras, I am often left with that Gah! taste in my mouth when I see how well their shots turn out. I don't really want a fabulous smartphone camera, as it would be too easy to stop carrying my...

I've been too lazy to carry a separate camera, using my iPhone 7 plus cam most of the time. The simulated bokeh still kind of blows me away. A few family snaps from today and yesterday, the first two in relatively low light. Happy 4th to friends in US!

I think I'm at the precipice of giving up "real" cameras for my cel phone camera (for most uses), but the one big thing holding me back is transfer of photos. Maybe I'm just not thinking of something very simple. If I take a simple photo of the dogs and want to share it with my wife, I...

My wife just showed me this shot taken early this morning of our younger son Philip holding his 2 month old baby sister Isabella: Phone Camera Photo by Amin Sabet, on Flickr In relatively low light, her iPhone 5S chose f/2.2, ISO 320, and 1/15s for this photo. I imagine that a typical...

I was reading a review of the new Sony cell phone. The review site had a very camera oriented comparison section for the camera on the phone. Looking at the picture of the ISO chart for it, I was impressed. The picture is sharper than many cameras I've seen. It's better than my XZ-1. Photo...
