I took these yesterday morning on my walk with the dog using a Lumix ZS8 camera that I bought in the spring of 2012. It was my favorite camera for years. I stopped using it much about 6 months ago when I got my Samsung smartphone and starting using its built-in camera. Actually, I bought two ZS8 cameras back then — one new and one used. Both work great. At the time, I wanted to have a backup ZS8 in case something happened to one of them.
These are some of the things I see when I go out to walk with Natasha the Sheltie early in the morning. The sun was just coming up yesterday morning when we were walking — me snapping and 'Tasha sniffing...
Great color. Do you see a difference in these photos as opposed to your phone?
ReplyDeleteI set the Lumix cameras to capture images in "vivid" mode (not in "standard" or "natural"). I'm not sure how to do that in the settings of the smartphone camera. I have to look into it. It's images are not as colorful.
DeleteI did some research and I found that I can modify the color tone of pictures on the smart phone camera. I'm happy about that. Now I have to take some pictures to see the difference.
DeleteWonderful photos, and I'm glad to hear that your vision is doing great since the cataract surgeries :)
ReplyDeleteDid you escape that monster rainstorm with no flooding? I hope you did.
DeleteI could look at daffodils all day. We don't really have them here.
ReplyDeleteCurious to see that palm tree in your picture. Will they survive where you are?
I assume it does survive from year to year. Maybe a really hard freeze would damage or kill it.
DeleteI think this is a hardy species of fan palm that tolerates freezing temperatures. Link:

Love all the pictures. Especially the one with the clusters of tiny yellow flowers. What are they called?
