Although I enjoy using my phone for photography, there are times when it feels like the photos it produces no longer thrill me. My phone feels outdated compared to the flashy new models being released recently. I crave the latest tech features found in these new versions. While my phone has a single lens camera, the latest versions come with four lenses. These new phones boast better image quality and more flexibility, offering everything from wide-angle shots to "telephoto-like" effects. I'd love to get my hands on one of these new phones; I bet I would have a great time using it. However, I'm torn between wanting the latest version and not wanting to retire my current phone. For now, I'll stick with my current one until next year.
Fortunately, I recently acquired another piece of gear that has been helping me learn about videography. I'm still getting to grips with the basics. Gaining the confidence to capture quality videos requires practice and effort to hone my skills.
I also realized that the DJI Osmo Pocket, which I own, has the capability to take photos. The beauty of it lies in its super wide-angle lens, almost like a fish-eye lens, which I enjoy using for photography.
Here are the photos that I took today.
Compared to my phone, the DJI Osmo Pocket's lens is about two to three times wider, so I don't have to squeeze into a corner to capture a view. The lens can rotate in every direction, ensuring that it always shows the best view of the scene, regardless of how I position it.
In contrast, my phone's viewing angle is fixed in one direction. To capture a specific angle, I have to bend or twist myself to get the right shot. In a way, my DJI Osmo Pocket is more intuitive, which is a very helpful feature in a camera. It significantly reduces the strain on my hands and back while taking photos.
🤔🤔🤔 wow man, the DJI Osmo Pocket seems like a great upgrade for capturing wider views and more flexible shots. Nice one brother, awesome shots
Indeed! I like the wide angle lens of DJI Osmo and it's perfect for architectural subjects like this one.
It's amazing to see what your phone travel looks like today, it's really amazing for me.
Yup. It was a good encouragement to go out and be active :)
I think it's possible to take very good shots with just a phone, even a low or mid-range one, It is enough to know some basic aspects of photography and lighting.
There are too many great shots here, the first one blew my mind 😂 I thought it was a reverse shot but no. That place where you were is very good for photography, you can get good results and incorporate geometry, lines, reflections and more. Your phone is fine and you know how to take good photos.
Have a great week @curamax friend!
Thank you so much! I completely agree, understanding the basics of photography and lighting can make a huge difference, even with a low or mid-range phone. I'm glad you liked the shots, especially the first one—it was one of my favorites too!
Appreciate your kind words and encouragement!
Interesting structures, I love them
I'm that you like my post, thanks for the feedback :)
Nice shots man!
Thank you 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Glad you realized it and want to get the latest phone can wait until next year.😁
The photos turn out great too.😊
It was an enjoyable experience using my DJI in this photo session :)
Glad to hear it too.😊😊
😁😁
This looks really great. I get the part where you say it captures the best view no matter where you put it. As for a new device, I'd like to think that there's a reason you have this inkling to wait. So let's just hope it turns out for the best and you get what would serve you properly.🌺
Thank you! I'm glad you appreciate it.
You're right, sometimes waiting for the perfect device is worth it. Here's to hoping the wait pays off and I find something that fits my needs perfectly!
You're welcome. And I'm certainly keeping my fingers crossed for that ideal device. Hope you have a lovely week ahead.🌺
🤞🤞🤞🤞😊
