Kitty Selfie
“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! 🙂

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. 😺
He is so gorgeous. Have you already posted the story behind his ear? (Hope it’s not rude to ask.)
Thanks so much 😸 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. 😺😺
So photogenic!! (and the camera isn’t bad either)
He’s always been photogenic and so expressive! 😸
Pretty kitty!
Thank you! 😺
He is a great model 😍
Thank you! 😺
