Here’s some of the stuff that I inflict on Facebook friends. The latter two were posted with a caption of “This is why dogs do not like days when it is too cold for children to run around outside. (Was 2 degrees F this morning.)”
Photos were taken with an iPhone 7 Plus. I hate to say this, but although I love normal lenses on DSLRs I am falling out of love with the normal (“telephoto” in Applespeak) lens on the iPhone 7 Plus. It lacks image stabilization and the sensor behind the normal lens seems to have much worse low-light performance than the already-pretty-bad regular camera. In many indoor situations you could get a better 56mm-equivalent image by using the 28mm lens/camera and cropping. I am hoping to get a posting together about this. For now I think there is a moderately high risk that the Plus-sized Emperor Has No Clothes.
Readers: What do you think? Should I keep these conventional family pictures out of this weblog, reserving the space for discussion of issues and ideas? Or do you want to post your own family pictures in the comments?
For comparison, the same scene with a Sony A6300 camera on more-or-less-complete-idiot mode:
While I’m not qualified to judge its technical merits as a photograph, I love the picture of your dog in the snow. Any photos of Golden Retrievers that you may care to post on your blog are OK by me.
Have you had a chance to play with the Hasselblad camera module for the Lenovo modular phone? I’d be interested to hear you opinion of it.
I’m happy to have you post family pictures, but I would like more posts about flying.
I read this post more as being about the iPhone 7 Plus camera than about your dog, and what you wrote about it was interesting to me. That dog photos came with it was just a bonus.
Long time lurker here. I like the eclectic mix of posts you provide.
Post away good sir and happy holidays!
Love the dog pictures. You should post about anything you find interesting. I can figure out pretty quick if I care enough to read the whole thing.
It’s your blog, let the dogs/family on it if you wish. We’ll survive.
Question on your opinion: I have family who claim that dog clothes in the cold (sweaters, coats, shoes) are stupid, no dog wears them in Canada unlike us American rubes in NY (not true – I saw them in Canada), dogs have coats etc…
I never had my own dog and they have, but my opinion is some dogs are made for cold and have a thick coat (St. Bernard, tibetan mastiff, “arctic pitbulls”) and other dogs can be just as cold as humans and probably can appreciate a coat outside in inclement weather. Do you have anecdotal evidence that a dog might be more likely to play in what otherwise would be too-cold weather if they wore warmer clothes?
