X marks the spot by summerfield

X marks the spot

two weeks ago, i succumb to getting a smart phone. it was a good deal: actually i went to the source to get one of their samsung tablet which was on sale for $170. i figure i could use it for looking at my photos when we're travelling instead of waiting to get them uploaded on the computer. when i got to the store, they were offering a 'combo' with the tablet: i get a smartphone for nil and they would give me a $50 discount on the tablet. the phone plan costs $20 a month, no contract. i told myself this is the perfect time to execute my plan of phasing out the landline, since i hardly ever use it.

this is one of the first shots i took and boy, does it take better macro than the camera. you can see the details so clearly as well as the sheen of the petals. i kinda like it.

i've been taking photos with the samsung phone and i'm quite impressed. i took this orchid flower from an angle and i noticed the "x".

i'm so sleepy it's almost 2 a.m. goodnight, folks, i will continue to catch up with your albums tomorrow.
I think the iPhone is equally as good! Wee bit of noise on the white petals but the centre part is wonderful!

Wonderful details! I'm also quite impressed with the quality of the pictures I get from my Nokia Lumia 920.

Sounds like you got a really good deal! It's taken a great photo of this orchid, next time I see an orchid I must see if it has an x. Lovely shot.

Isn't it amazing how well the phones take photos? This is great. It took me a moment to find the X. I like it a lot!
