COMPLETELY OUT OF MY COMFORT ZONE

[FUJI]

Today, this ancient old fossil,  decided to abandon his trusty LUMIX GX9 with Leica lens…for his shiny new iPhone 13 pro……..In and around COVENTRY City Centre I felt strange and rather vulnerable with this expensive bit of kit clamped in a gimbal with wrist strap.

Surprisingly it drew hardly a glance, and people didn’t turn a hair if it was pointed their way…..

‘The proof of the pudding as they say….so here goes…. The indoor shots inside COVENTRY Retail Market…the rest from the City Centry… a minimum of cropping and editing has been done…. 
 

A remarkable bit of photographic kit…..so Ancient Fuji….is bang up to date….and loving it..

Health news:…My poor old back has been playing up recently, it keeps going into extremely painful and debilitating spasms… I will have to consult a pharmacist becuasecmy medications CANT be mixed ….

Thats enough of that….

 

No worries , I haven’t given up my proper cameras.

It just shows how things change. On phones in the past we were limited to the ability of hardware, now, it's very very good.

There is good blurring on the background on some - better than many would expect.

Good on ya for joining the revolution, but don't bin the camera just yet!

Thanks Paul,

 

Dont worry, I have no intention of slinging my treasured GX8 or GX9 , or any lenses…

My 5 yr old iPhone 7 was free with my BT all in account package…. I decided to bite the bullet this time …call it an…Oldie Treat….. so pleased I did.

Amazing quality images for a phone. Your eye for a great face and attractive scene has come into play.

Our camera club has introduced a smart phone competition in its 2022 syllabus so we had a come and try night learning about the amazing things phone cameras can do now.

I  am a big fan of the last two or three versions of the iPhone as the camera just gets better and better ..  a super set   Fooj... The first one is my favourite in this batch   ... great movement and eye-catching  colour !

Great set Fuji, nice to see a smile and a wave to you too. Looking at the fish picture made me fancy salmon for my tea today, and the last one of the fruit counter is great!!

Thank you Dee……it’s so good to see you posing again……..it isn’t good being crook…..is it ?

 

I’m laid up currently, with a severe bad back…… Doc investigating cause….. I have stage 3 kidney disease….but ai think it’s a trapped nerve…….I’ve just completed a short course of  DIAZAPAM to see if being totally dozy would unlock the spasm….. 

Excelt for feeling dreadful and functioning like a sloth, they didn’t make much difference…..I’m sleeping downstairs now, in a new chair-bed…..still getting used to being so close to the floor.

At least Nala my new rescue cat keeps close company…she is lovely.
