The Photo-Thread

[Morticia Iunia Bruti]

Hi, in this thread you can post your own photos.

The photos should be no selfies as for selfies the "Say Cheese"-Thread already exists.

I start with two snapshots, which were taken from me at the Balduinbrücke, Koblenz and made at nearly the same time at 7:30 am on the 16th January and the 13th February.

I'm impressed by the sunrise one! I've always failed miserably to get colour in the sky without making everything else a silhouette, what are you snapping with?

[Akar]

I love the sunrise but I think the night time one would show better with a longer exposure time.

@Makanyane: With my Wiko S 60 Smartphone. I had had no Camera at hand , but i absolutely loved the atmosphere of this moment.

@Akar: I will play around with the settings next time.

Those are fantastic shots. Thanks for sharing! Very serene. People two decades ago using a Blackberry, before the 2007 release of iPhones, would have never imagined a smartphone with such a high quality lens.

[Morticia Iunia Bruti]

Thank you very much. Yeah i was looking at some 27 year old photos yesterday and their quality is worse.

Here's a few of my shots, they're just taken with a Samsung Galaxy A50 phone. No idea why the size of each image differs so much.

Mt Wellington, Hobart

Royal Tasmanian Botanical Gardens

The Tasman Peninsula, Tasmania

The docks, Hobart

Bruny Island, Tasmania

Docklands, Melbourne

I am shocked that those are cell phone photos, honestly. My iPhone 5s can barely take a picture

It was last July

I used to travel with a Nikon. These days I don't. Too lazy to carry it with me all times, plus having to guard it is no bueno. But here are som pics I made with it:

I was planning to visit Coblence, but then the coronavirus pandemic happened. I use my Huawei phone to take pictures, because I want to support the Politburo's efforts to overthrow our liberal democracy, so my best photos is when my camera suddenly decides to depict sunsets in a surprisingly high resolution:
