Anyone run into issues with autofocus in low light? Snapped a few pictures of my dog at night and the Pixel completely missed the focus and iPhone was on point. Probably helps having the LIDAR.
What color is your dog? I’ve only had problems photographing my black cat. He’s super deep jet black so I have to be sure to manually tap to focus on him and in dim light it’s not guaranteed.

White fur! He stands out pretty well in the dark all things considered.
 
Made a long overdue appearance

Oh yeah we used to have one of those things. We threw our coats on it. It’s good for hanging purses and hats on, too. 😬

And that attitude is why my Apple Watch is always so deeply disappointed in me. It never quite tells me off. It just sighs and says we will try again tomorrow.

And that is the problem with Apple and their approach to my fitness. They’re too polite.

It’s like having some perky cheerleader/life coach trying to coax me into moving. “Come on dear, you can do it…that’s it, just stand up and you’ll be closer to your stand goal”. (And why does it always tell me that when I’m sitting on the toilet? Or that one time a year my butt is actually in a seat at a church…and everyone is praying and everyone’s Apple Watches all go off simultaneously telling us to stand.)

Anyway, I don’t need a cheerleader or a polite life coach. I need a drill sergeant. I need a fitness watch that will tell me “Get off your lazy bum, you chunky wench! Those donuts aren’t going to work themselves off your lard a…..”.

Come on Google, you know you want to make that quirky watch that will tell me off! Do it! I dare you! 😈

Hmm…I don’t have any white animals anymore. I have a black and white cow spotted cat. I wonder if a solid block of pure white or pure black poses a challenge. That striped grey cat that I accidentally turned blue is always in focus unless she’s moving too much.

Thanks. I gave up on waiting for glass to be in stock and ordered that for my husband’s phone.

I just got the Poetic Guardian and it has two frames, one with a built in screen protector and one without. I installed it with the screen protector.

It feels sticky. And there’s a sticker part of the protector that aligns with the fps. It is a circle. I can see it. I don’t mind it but I may not like it when watching movies and videos.

It’s got a built in dust cover for the charging port. It’s bulky but feel light enough to me. I’m going to have to see how I get along with it. It’s a fingerprint magnet front and back. The fps works fine though.

I'd like to see the case if you get a chance. Post up some pics sounds interesting. I hear you on the screen protector. I was waiting for the ZAGG tempered glass left an email for notifications when it's available but now I notice that it's not even on the website..

You’re such an excellent photographer that I often forget you’re working with the Pixel 6 and lack the zoom lens. You know how to frame your subjects and compose your scenes so nothing ever feels lacking.
Thank you, though I am not sure I am deserving of that much praise!

One thing I have learned over the past few years of phone photography, is how versatile prime lenses are. In camera lingo, those are lenses locked to 1 focal range, and have no zoom capabilities whatsoever. One example would be a 50mm f1.4 lens, a lens I have for my Canon cameras. While it sounds basic, it is a lens that pulls in a ton of light, and unlike most phones, has a variable aperture (think like the pupils in your eye) to regulate light.

I have found myself purchasing only prime lenses in the past 5-10 years, with my last zoom being a true workhorse indeed, but seldom used For my casual stuff these days. I think phones have really helped the world of prime lens photography. It is something I never liked before, but grew to appreciate over the past few years.

I have really learned a lot about photography, playing with these silly cell phones we are all ranting about!

I absolutely love my nifty 50 and would never NOT bring it in my camera bag. Talk about great bokah!

So I ended up taking advantage of the Vodafone 6 Pro offer. Paying just over £700.
I picked up the Cloudy White and have managed to return my Sorta Sunny with Currys as they now have a 21 day return period as you can't return in store any more.

I claimed my headphones on Thursday, got confirmation and returned :p.

My 6 went back earlier in the week.

I loved Sorta Sunny, but felt limited with the gold rails and wallpapers. Which sounds odd but I love switching up the theme and silver works with anything.

Cloudy White is nice and clean. I've kept my Golden Glow case for when I do want to rock the yellow / orange wallpaper and themes but at the moment got a clean blue Pixel 3 wallpaper going on which is sweet.

Wouldn't have bothered switching colour if it weren't for the amazing Vodafone deal saving me £150 on the device and me managing to claim the Bose headphones from my original purchase. :D

I traded my cloudy white in. The promotional photos look nothing like it in person. The top bar is supposed to be I dunno a cloudy grayish brown color? But instead it's just whitem. I ended up going with the stormy gray as you can truly see the two tone color there.

Yeah it's slightly more subdued than the press renders.
The stormy grey is just too boring for me so I wouldn't consider it. Black / grey phones in general are a no go for me.
Hopefully we get some more Seafoam kind of colours next year!
