Here's picture of a poor tree, outlived it's seedling time in a 44 gallon drum, just before the one way Orari River bridge on Scenic highway 72.

Got my new smartphone yesterday. Been experimenting with the camera quite a bit. Photos can be a bit hit and miss but here's a few relatively successful shots

Mixed results again today. Phone camera has a tendency to wash out the blue sky or over saturate it. Here's a selection of pics from today.

Your photos look really good. :smile:
I bought a new camera the other day, rather than using my cell phone, a Canon IXUS.
Based on the old, in your pocket, style you can wipp it out at any momment.
Only trouble with these as when they get older, when you focus outwards, the projection lens tends to get spots on them from dust injected when you retract the lens, as I found out from my old Sony camera.
So much for Carl Weiss q-

Yeah, it can produce quite nice and crisp photos. But you need to take a number of photos and pick the best ones as there were a number of throwaway shots I never posted here. Some shots, especially when using the wide angle lens, can turn out a little blurred in parts too.

Overall it's a pretty excellent camera for a smartphone - arguable the best the market has to offer right now. The phone is the Huawei P30 Pro for anyone interested.

For balance, here's a few of the pics that didn't turn out that quite as great.

Washed out sky:

Lens flare due to the sun:

Night mode photo - often suffers from blurriness, and here the grass is over saturated:

Few more pics today to finish up my testing. Went down the the beach, always a great spot to snap some photos.
