It’s been a while since I posted about my photography activities and the phone reviews, and what better time than the new year to look back at some of the memories created over the last year.
Here’s a couple of moonshots taken last year with my current phone – the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra that I got back in 2023. I’ve put the 30x zoom versions first followed by the regular wide angle photo to give a sense of the zoom. All were taken during our 2024 summer trip to Kashmir (first set in Phalagam, second in Srinagar on the Dal Lake).
While the zoomed in images may not be the sharpest, the S23 Ultra has finally made me stop missing my DSLR with its zoom lenses. There may have been a lot of controversy over the artificial enhancement in the moon photos taken with Samsung phones, but I have been really pleased with the performance of the 10x lens which enables shots that were unthinkable on mobile phones.
The moon is of course not the only object that you can shoot, so here’s a few more including the Sun, a rainbow and more travel photos.
