Orchid

I took this photo a couple of days ago on my phone while I was waiting for David who was wandering round Bunnings.

I was in the gardening section of the store and wondered how sharp a close up photo I could get on my phone, so took a couple of photos while I was waiting for David to finish his 'Bunnings fix.'

I forgot about the photos until today and downloaded them this morning.

Quite pleased with the result as I didn't expect it to be as sharp as it is considering the size of the sensor on a smartphone.

Thanks for reminding me about an orchid display I need to go to at a shopping centre not far. Bunnings is good for a lot of things. Great colour

@paulaw Thanks Paula. There were some beautiful colours. Didn't buy any though. I just wandered round taking photos with my phone as an experiment.

@joluise Would I sneak into shops and take photos. You must be thinking of someone else!!! Perhaps Nicki!!

@dekky740 @sbolden @steampowered @angelar @gijsje Sorry for the group reply again, but on the go a bit today. Thanks for your lovely comments. This was an experimental shot to see how sharp I could get a photo with my phone. Pleased with the results.

That's such an amazing photo with your smart phone. Hardly any need to take a camera anywhere now. Am I the only one left to take camera shots in shopping centres? Must get one of those smart phones!

[Raye]

Fabulous and majestic!

[Babs]

@winnedreamer Handy when you are in shops or shopping centres. You don't get ushered out or arrested for taking photos!!!

[Babs]

@sunraye Thanks Raye.

[Deb]

@onewing And you don't need a tripod. Nice photo. There is an orchid show in down here this weekend. We wanted to get to it but might be too busy moving

[Elaine]

Gorgeous capture Babs, I find orchids so difficult to photograph. Stunning colour!

[Babs]

@elaine55 Thanks Elaine. This was taken with my phone. I just wanted to see how sharp a close up I could achieve. It was taken in Bunnings too so not ideal surroundings.
