This week's topic is - FREE THEME
I decided to share with you photographs of birds taken on my phones.
It was my first phone with a telezoom camera. And the very first photo I took was of a tame great tit I knew.
Then I decided to test its capabilities at the botanical garden. There are always a lot of tame ducks there that people feed.
There are also always feeders for other birds there.
Then I got a Samsung, and that same week I went to the forest (actually I went to pick raspberries and not to photograph birds).
Phone is also a real lifesaver when I go scouting out the snow in the forest in the spring to see if it's melted yet, and I spot the first birds that have just arrived. As you can see, there's a kite, a chaffinch, and a waxwing.
The telephoto camera on your phone is also a lifesaver when traveling.
When I was visiting my relatives, I suddenly saw a bluethroat in the bushes in the middle of the city. I couldn’t just pass by!
And sometimes the phone helped me out when the bird was very close to me, and it was impossible to take a photo with a camera, the phone helped.
Then I acquired the "heavy artillery" in the form of a Xiaomi with high-aperture cameras.
Then I went back to Samsung. The cameras are worse. Although, it's up to you to judge.
