I like the old shot with the Canon but that flower is interesting.
It's amazing what phones can do and so little fuss. I use mine too often, I hardly grab my D810 and my phone is an old beat up Samsung S8.
I think it's the convenience of the phone fitting in my pocket.


Your phone image is sharp!

I used to have a small, adjustable, fold up device which was for photographing stamps, back in the 70s. I have no idea what happened to it (a lot of my stuff got stolen) but it was fun back then using an old 21/4 square (6x6) Ensign camera made in the 50s (which I still have). It wasn't an SLR, the view finder popped up on top of the body, focus was more luck than skill but I also did my own processing then and it was easy to calculate.


I used to have brown hair and grey matter, now they've exchanged places....
