The look of Dell enjoying strolling this evening.

I happen to have a broken stroller that I get yesterday. Since I manage to reach home early today, I decided to mend it and bring Dell on for a spin.

The look of the blurry Dell at the back after a spin in the stroller.

Not sure why the picture is blur. Maybe the face detection didn't detect Dell's face features since he have whisker😅 [1]. Well actually, I accidentally turned on depth effect feature in my phone [2,3].

Such a waste when people did not fully utilize the good quality equipment in hands.

Last week, I shared pictures of crepuscular rays that I took using my phone [1,2]. I did mentioned to few of friends whom I shared the link, that their phone could take better picture if it than mine. One of them said, despite he have 12 MP in his phone camera still not certain able to take such pictures of mine.

I did asked for his phone model. In order to make comparison and know more specification of his phone camera. And I found out that he have far better phone specification than mine. His phone even able to take 4K recording.

Comparison between my Oppo phone with my friends phone

I just wish I have such good phone of his where I have put in blue colour font on the extras of his Samsung S8 phone. Would really assist me in do more in my works, make up, gardening and pets😉.
