Musings on cats, travel, gardens and life

“Smile, Benji.”

Testing my new phone’s camera. I upgraded from Samsung Galaxy S9 to S23. Not exactly cutting edge, the S24 came out earlier this year. I like to let them work the bugs out first and save some money in the process.
Not the top of the line but it’ll do just fine. I got the base version to retain the small size.
I took the photos and loaded them directly to WordPress, using the jetpack app on my phone, with no edits. I like the clarity and look forward to learning more of the features.
And Benji makes a great model, don’t you think?
Happy Caturday from Susanne and Benji! π
Phone cameras have impoved so much. My wife was able to photograph the northern lights using ‘night mode’ on her phone camera. I took my Panasonic (‘real camera’) LX-100 outside, and it refused to fire the shutter because I wasn’t using a tripod. Hers is also a Samsung phone. I don’t know the type, (S-something) but it is 3 years old. Benji looks fine!
Best wishes, Pete.
Thanks so much, Pete! I was impressed with the clarity of the cameras on the new phones, which is the main reason I upgraded. I wish I’d remembered the Northern Lights last night as it was advertised all week. My friends in the Northwest are posting incredible pictures, and I believe most of them were using their phones!
All the phone photos of the NL I have seen are far superior to those where people used cameras. For a quick ‘grab and shoot’, it seems that phones are the best option.
Benji looks adorable!! A perfect model.
Thank you! He’s very cooperative. πΊ
He is so gorgeous. Have you already posted the story behind his ear? (Hope itβs not rude to ask.)
Thanks so much πΈ No problem asking. He was a rescue cat from Seattle Humane. Many rescue organizations clip the ear to show a cat has been neutered. Overkill, in my opinion, but he was like that when we got him.
I think it gives him a very cute, quirky look!
Thank you! He’s special indeed!
Benji is a cutie.
Thank you. πΊπΊ
So photogenic!! (and the camera isn’t bad either)
He’s always been photogenic and so expressive! πΈ
Pretty kitty!

He is a great model π
