Sunny morning in the Peak District

[Isla]

Following a 7am work Pow Wow, Biscuit & her rider went for a mini adventure into the Peak District.
1st stop was in the tiny hamlet of Tunstead to find a stone that marks the birthplace of James Brindley, followed by a short bimble further East to Tideswell for a bite to eat, sat on a bench outside it's 14th century church..

Very nice, lovely views.

i find phone cameras don't capture the views well enough.

It was thank you. I would love a half decent camera but phones are just so convenient for random shots! This is just a cheap Motorola G8. The pics are better if you switch to manual mode...and good light helps too!

IEven iphones struggle..  they just lolks sooo flat and lack dimension.

its amazing how the mk1 eyeball is so good even to this day of technology.

Even a little tweaking of what you took can help.

Mine seems ok too 

 

 

[RideWithStyles]

Nope been there and done that.

 i dont need to waste money on filling fat techno giant(s) anymore, need to and want to ride more.

Myself I couldn't justify paying close to 2k for the newest models or paying a high monthly contract anyway. I was simply showing that phones can and do take good photographs.

 

My phone is hardly latest and greatest. In fact not even close. 4 years old and cost £350

Phone was cheaper than contract without phone, that's before cashback.

Me too.

You might say that the small pics in the posts (if you are looking on a phone) are going to look reasonable anyway but even if you expand them they aren't bad. Unless you are a semi pro and trying to get large format photos a phone is fine for pics. Small, convenient and let's face it most pics are purely for personal use and you look at them on a phone.

Those are nice! What phone and app are you using? My eldest daughter has a Redmi Note 10 that does quite nice pics.

I agree with you mostly but am with Ridewithstyles on the distant scenery. I have started using the timer to avoid camera shake when pressing the shutter but it only helps to a point, so distant views aren't something I tend to snap unfortunately.

Google pixel, tbh it's not a great phone, it's ok, but it takes some great pics, definitely it's saving grace, it also makes tweaking them easy for a mobile, new model on the horizon so be plenty of deals to be had but there's not much difference in spec to the one from 2021 and that is cheaper.

I can't complain at the camera on my phone!

I've fixed your photo for you, I've removed the house and the fence,the road and I didn't like the look of that lake either

[RideWithStyles]

Bender maybe you should add some more wire fencing and a picture of steve mcqueen clearing the jump.
