Took a pic of the dog when I was out walking him yesterday;

Not a great photo but I was mucking about on the phone zooming in and noticed a reflection in his eye, it’s me and the sun setting behind me.

As I said I’m old but the level of detail a lens about 4mm across can capture when it’s a subsidiary function of another device is just incredible. I’d say ‘neat’ but I’m not *that* old.

Got any good phone camera pics?

It’s his life jacket for when he goes in the pond.

He’s sick if we just use the collar with a lead and he pulls against it so we use a harness instead.

It has a loop at the front you attach the lead to that stops him pulling at all which is good for my wife and daughter as although he’s only 5 months old if he decides to go he’s got a lot of traction.

Evil laser eye dog!

he’s in singletrack detector mode there CFH

Lovely dog. A trainer can help with the pulling, I think he’s young enough to stop it.

I still find my iPhone6 camera far inferior to my 6 year old £100 Lumix but the phone is so much more conveninet. Cameras are a big selling point for the phones and are going to get better and better.

Agree on all counts there! GSP is a similar “brand” and we never really put the work in to stop the pulling (me because I hardly walk her – always bike rides, and ex-wife, because she just wanted to get on with getting the dog out).
So, the dog is 8 now and still has to have a harness. Not ideal.

And rather off-topic! Rooby-roo!

On-topic, I was rather disappointed with my iPhone 6’s attempts at a landscape yesterday. Thought they were supposed to be good cameras..?
Very grainy and lacking in detail, but maybe I used too much digi zoom

Yep. Digi-zoom isn’t real zoom.

All it does is pretty much what WW did in the OP, crops into a small part of a bigger picture. So yeah, it will lack detail and look grainy.

Also probably doesn’t help that it looks like your focus point was the beach in the foreground.

He’s only 5 months and we do work on it – he’s mostly fine tbh, it’s just if something catches his interest he’ll start pulling.

Walking with a treat in one hand to keep him ‘close’, that sort of thing.

Mostly he’s off the lead now though so it’s less of an issue – which isn’t a huge incentive to put it right, I know.

I knows, s’why I specified “digi”. But fair point about the focus. That’s the other problem with cameras on phones – if it’s bright out, you can’t really see the screen and what you’re photographing.

Exactly the same here – live a few mtrs from the woods, so hardly walk on-lead.

Not just phones – loads of “proper” cameras only have a rear view screen now. Absolutely useless on a sunny day – give me a proper optical viewfinder any day.
