Do you use a stylus with your smart phone?
Comments (10)Smart phone? Nope, I still have the same old stupid phone, and I've never learned how to text and the phone is seldom charged anyway, Elery and I currnetly have 6,000 minutes to use on the account, LOL. However, Elery has an iPod that I bought him for a Christmas/birthday gift, so I'm going to check out that link. When I get home tonight, because the office computer hits the "Sonic Wall" and won't let me access it, of course.

Comments (12)I love my iPhone 10. I think it has amazing optics and settings for what it is. For travel photos it's perfect. The HDR quality is amazing, and it is pretty consistent about its abilities. But it has its limitations. I also love my old Nikon D700 DSLR, probably more for sentimental reasons than for anything else. The newer DSLR's have more capability. I took all of these photos this morning. The iPhone 10 can do this, which I think is AMAZING for the tiny little lens. The D700 can do this: OR this: The iPhone does this, which is a bit of over-enhancement of the colors and contrast and you can see quite a bit of lens distortion (see how the gravel in the foreground seems to stretch?) and the very deep depth of field (DOF). I don't know if the newer iPhones allow for manual DOF. The DSLR has a bit more realistic color, and an adjustable DOF. Here I focused on the rear flowers, and adjusted the DOF so the foreground flowers are blurry and the background is a little blurry. I could have set the camera to have more vibrant color and sharper contrast to have a photograph that pops more, like the iPhone, or I could adjust it in Photoshop or even Photos. Also, you can see that the framing is different, because of the wide angle of the iPhone lens. One more example, what you prefer is just a matter of taste. Again, I could have put on a lense and adjusted the DOF and exposure to create a photo similar to the iPhone's, but it would have taken time and effort, vs. point and shoot. With the iPhone, you can't get the narrow DOF, unless in portrait mode, which has programming specifically for face sizes and doesn't work with small flowers. I could have adjusted the iPhone shot manually to expose the buds better, but I wanted to show the point and shoot capability. iPhone 10: DSLR: Helen could probably expound upon this more. She's such a wonderful photographer....See MoreWhere do you keep your phone when out for a walk?
Comments (44)I take long walks with my dogs so like to listen to audiobooks, making it necessary to have my phone with me. I generally wear exercise leggings or exercise skorts that have the side pocket on the leg so I can my phone in that. For casual walks, most of my non-exercise shorts have at least a back pocket that can hold my phone. I did buy an armband at one point but it is too much of a hassle trying to use it so now I just make sure my exercise gear have the side pocket. Years ago, I bought a SpiBelt that I wore when running in races - it was lightweight and held a lot (phone, money, energy chews, keys, etc). I still have it but my current phone is too big for it, but I suppose the newer ones would fit newer, larger phones....See Moresusie53_gw
