I live in the middle of this block of flats, There is stream and pond on my doorstep. Left view and right view from my living room window. Me and my camera spy on my neighbors from the windows.

April 2020.  Middle of the afternoon and  the empty ring road,  people are still taking the lockdown seriously. Normally trying to cross here is like suicide, it's almost like a racetrack.

Zooms are for spying on your neighbors.

What photographic competition insists on the use of 16 megapixel cameras, not more, not less?

Panic buying Fresh meat section.   Aldi Toilet paper section.  Waitrose Singers in bubbles. Masks, one way streets. Social distancing signs.

Busy shopping arcades. Busy railway stations. People are no longer getting in the way of my photos. This is not street photography.

99% of the time, noise is a nuisance that impairs image quality.

I pixel peeped and my conclusion is that these two photos are very close in resolved detail. The Lumia has more pixels and this gives it a slight edge. The Pixel looks much worse because of lower ...

I was wondering when the evil Davinator would rise from the swamp.

I photograph anything that takes my fancy.  Such as this. Many people here claim that they can identify the equipment used to take photos by pixel peeping at the details. This image has been ...
