Took a day off, yesterday, and played with a camera. (phone? .. camera)

-=-=-

One of those days where my head's a little more swirly than usual, so had to shut down the mental gymnastics of coding, and anything else.
So instead, then I decided to faff about with some old technology. .. As you do!



I pulled out my old Lumia 1020 "phone".. I say phone, but it's pretty much a completely worthless piece of tech, all but for the camera.
The camera's quite impressive, being a 41 Megapixel camera. Not bad for modern tech, never mind a phone I bought back in 2014.

I mean, that's a really nice big image, right?
The issue is the lack of Optical Image Stabilisation. If I try my best to hold the camera (phone?.. ... camera) steady on the sofa, I can get a less-than-blurry image, and it's quite nice, but most of the time, my less than steady hands makes for a blurry mess of pics.



I really do like the power of this camera, but it's quite the let-down when you add my shaky hands into the mix. I honestly can't believe it's a decade old, already.
And.. you know.. the fact that Microsoft gave up on phones, completely. Sure would be good to see where this technology could've gone, had Microsoft carried on making the Lumia brand, stuck with Windows Mobile, built the ecosystem properly, instead of just plain giving up with everything.

Booo!!!



Of course, with it being Windows Phone, it's a right pain in the arse to get the photos out of it if all your tech is Apple'd up.
Or at least, it would be, if not for my handy little Rogally, which is really coming into its own as a gadget to do Window'y based things with!

Now I can plug the Windows Phone into the Windows Device and finally get those nice hi-res images out of the thing, and transfer them bit by bit over to the Mac.
Mmmm



I jokingly commented to Mum that I was "developing" the photos, as I had to go from Phone, through a wire (good grief!!! A wire!!) to the Rogally, then wirelessly transferred them from there to the Mac so she could see them nice and big on the telly, once they'd transferred to the iCloud, through to the AppleTV!!!
Gradually..
Bit by bit.
When iCloud wants to bother doing any syncing.



...
Anyway, didn't code anything, yesterday.
Lazy Jay!!
