@LindaPeters64 @WorldwideXplore A2 I always used cameraphones, but whatever the best cameraphone was at that time, so was happy enough.
Apart from Zoom, its something they are never good at. So after a disasterious bird watching trip, bought a proper camera with 50x hardware zoom.

replying to @StripeyMiata @StripeyMiata @LindaPeters64 @WorldwideXplore Lovely clear photo! Phone cameras are fine as long as the light is bright - once the light dims (my favourite time to photograph) a dedicated camera is hard to beat. #TRLT

replying to @TheTravelCamel
@TheTravelCamel @LindaPeters64 @WorldwideXplore Huawei night mode was good though, although you had to be very still to avoid blurring.

#TRLT

replying to @StripeyMiata @StripeyMiata @LindaPeters64 Fully agree - photography and travel both require patience. #TRLT

replying to @TheTravelCamel @TheTravelCamel @LindaPeters64 A4: Go close. The closer the better. Skip the zoom lens. #TRLT


replying to @CaucasusMercury @CaucasusMercury @LindaPeters64 @TheTravelCamel Lovely details in that #trlt

Q5: How has technology changed your photography - whether from taking the photo, editing, or sharing (including apps and platforms)? via @ramblrramblr #TRLT #traveltuesday #travelphotography


replying to @HeidiSiefkas
@HeidiSiefkas @ramblRramblR A5 I have changed a bit in that I used technology too much, so would live stream from holiday and try to update Facebook and Instragram just after taking a picture.
Next trip, stepping back from that as I was stepping out of the moment too much, and it was stressful.
#TRLT

replying to @StripeyMiata @StripeyMiata @HeidiSiefkas @ramblRramblR I rarely post from where I'm visiting. The time taken to sort through the best photos is time I could be spending photographing. I now prefer being in the moment and doing the photo sorting and editing when I get home. #TRLT

replying to @TheTravelCamel
@TheTravelCamel @HeidiSiefkas @ramblRramblR I am deliberately taking a phone with a rubbish camera built into it with me next trip so I won’t be temped to do it live.
It’s a fantastic phone, just because of its slim design it’s got a crappy 10 megapixel camera as they had to avoid lenses sticking out.

replying to @StripeyMiata @StripeyMiata @HeidiSiefkas @ramblRramblR Once you get into the habit of not going live where you are, it is easy to continue. #TRLT

replying to @TheTravelCamel
@TheTravelCamel @HeidiSiefkas @ramblRramblR Hmm, I dunno, I have terrible self control 😂
#trlt

replying to @StripeyMiata
@StripeyMiata @TheTravelCamel @HeidiSiefkas @ramblRramblR Technology has changed (me too) so much - gone from the shaky digital camera I bought in 2004 that I learnt to whip out from belt to amazing pics on phone (and now I'm using with a stabilizer to take time lapses)
