Great day out with your MG? Post up a picture ?

[Gomev]

Forgive me for sounding like a complete ID 10T, but how do you do that? As you can probably guess, I'm fairly new to this.

Using software on a laptop/ PC?

If you are on a laptop or mobile....

Steps to Crop and Save (Mobile & Desktop):

• Open the Photo: Open the Google Photos app (mobile) or go to photos.google.com (desktop).
• Edit Tool: Tap or click the Edit button (usually a slider icon or labeled "Edit"). This is in the top right and is the second symbol from the left
  
• 
  
• Crop: Select the Crop/Rotate tool.
• Adjust: Drag the corners or edges of the photo to the desired size. You can also select preset aspect ratios (e.g., 16:9, square).
• Save: Click Save (desktop) or Save copy (mobile).
• Tip: You can use the "Auto-frame" feature in the crop menu to let AI adjust the framing.

Key Considerations:

• Save Copy: On mobile devices, after cropping, Google Photos often requires you to save the edited photo as a new copy, rather than overwriting the original.
• Undo/Revert: You can always open a saved image and click "Edit" -> "Revert" to restore the original image.
• Other Tools: Within the same editor, you can also rotate, flip, or use the "Perspective" tool to fix, for example, a slanted image.

Just looked up the spec. of my 15T Pro and it says it has 5x optical zoom.

But thank you both. I shall now expand into taking pictures of wildlife and I shall try both methods, using 5x optical zoom and the enlarge/ crop method.

All the other information is really handy too. There are so many features on this phone and in particular the camera that I am unaware of, so it's good to start playing around.

Optical zoom is the real deal, actually zooming as opposed to just enlarging with digital zoom.

Finally a day without 100% cloud. It's forecast back to that tomorrow, so I took the opportunity to remind myself what non-grey skies look like...

Wow, how great picture, how still is that water.

Liathac across the loch is a classic calendar/chocolate box view...

Still water here is very unusual. It was taken at the end of a hill walk after an almost windless day which must've helped. That said, Loch Clair (the body of water) has a river running into it and another flowing out, so totally still water is a rarity here.

That's the sort of water I love to sail on, but it's hard to find when It's blowing 20kts!

That is immense!

Remind me again what phone you have?

 

[Shrink Proof]

That is immense!

Remind me again what phone you have?

A cheapo Samsung one, slow to charge and weighed down with the useless crapware that Samsung absolutely love (and can't understand why I don't) and shovel into all their products.

The camera, on the other hand, is an Olympus OM E-M5 Mark 3...

 

[securespark]

Wow, that explains it then!

Incredible image!

“my” heron was further away so i made up a story about our encounter instead

View attachment 42964

In both Bali and the Maldives, where I've just come back from, we had a heron (not the same one) who appeared every morning to watch us eat breakfast.

In Singapore it was mynah birds.

The light in Glen Torridon yesterday was excellent. Turning round and looking in the opposite direction to Liathac (the picture above), it was like this:-

Do you know if there is still a rapid charger at the Torridon Hotel? That was indispensible to me going north from Applecross.

No idea, sorry, haven't been there in a while, and when I was there I had plenty of volts on board.
