Photography including cellphone photos

[Apoc184]

For anything related to photography. Mobile, DSLR, Mirrorless, Mik-'n-druk, etc... Everything goes.

I don't take photos nearly as much as I want to.

Snapped this beaut in the workshop this morning.

Would have loved to have the Canon with the 70-200 on hand. But phone did the trick because our feathery friend allowed to get pretty close.

You aren't the only one, I've sold all my Canon gear and only have my Olympus OM-D E-M10ii, 14-42 and 40-150 lenses now.

I tried the Mirroless setup about 4 years ago. Fuji XT1

Have nothing bad to say about it but is wasn't for me. And it was mainly because of the form factor. I missed a nice sturdy body that I could fold my big paws around. Another thing was the lack of variety of lenses at that stage. No idea if that changed a lot in recent times.

But for now I am sticking with the DSLR.

I progressively got smaller Canon bodies, 7D - 60D - 650D - 100D.

The Oly with the pancake 14-42 isn't much bigger than a compact camera when powered down.

Here's a couple I took when I was in Thailand, believe it or not this was taken on a Huawei Mate 9, I did use a DJI Osmo Mobile 2 to stabilize and get a better angle on certain shots. Let me know if you guys want me to post more.

 

[Apoc184]

Of course share more. I will post a few more when I am home as well.

One thing I noticed about Huawei/Honor phones is that they struggle with white and night light, it struggles to focus sometimes but hey it works. I hope to make this a real hobby one day.

I think most phones will struggle with low light focusing and especially detail because of the much smaller sensor size. My Xiaomi is the same.

Which is why I love my Full Frame DSLR. As long as you have a bit of a contrasting edge in the frame you can hit focus spot on and quick.

Few from last week.

Daughter is crazy bored because of lockdown and goes hunting for creatures in the garden.

Also had these visitors over the past few weeks.

What would a camera like that cost?

Then I also love being in the kitchen. And from time to time I try my hand at food photography when done with a dish.

what a beauty !

My whole setup was around R40k

Picked up the 6D with 24-70mm on a great cashback deal with Canon few years ago. Then managed to get the 70-200mm F2.8 at a bargain price of R10k thanks to a desperate second hand seller. 2x Extender thrown into the deal.
The other stuff I had lying around from previous kits.
