The Photo Thread: Week of 2022-01-30

New week, new thread. Tried out the 108-MP mode of the S21 ultra (all 4:3 formats) and added in some regular shots (16:9 and 21:9). The surfer pics are 10x and 30x zoom. It’s a good camera phone, but it helps not to expect magic. Understandably, the compression by the server is needed, but it takes away considerable detail.

Lovely day, pretty stormy. These were taken at Wörthsee.

Took a photowalk yesterday. Nothing like street photography during a blizzard :slight_smile:

Went walking up the frozen creek on a nice winter day.

Is the photo of the lone windsurfer digital zoom? There’s a lot artifacting.

More tiny snails taken with Halide’s macro mode on iPhone 11. They make some crazy arrangements around this time every summer. I thought the spider webs made it a bit more interesting.

Yes, it’s 3x digital on top of 10x optical.

Interesting! Any idea why they do that? Mating? … or simulating to move into an apartment building?

No idea! The trees and the pillars all the way down the road are covered in them.

I can smell the clean, brisk air from here.
