Casey's Coral Thread

[CaseyWagner]

Creating the thread to start stashing my photos

My phone is a Samsung A50W and it takes garbage photos. It doesn't matter how much light or how much care I take with focus, the camera sensor and compression algorithm on it are terrible. Even using the high-efficiency image format which is superior to JPG.

I have an ancient iPad 3 that doesn't run any current software, but has a MUCH better sensor though, and started using that to take pictures instead. It's not perfect (and makes me really want a new ipad or google pixel quality sensor) but it's a vast improvement.

If you have a crappy phone but an old ipad kicking around, I suggest digging it out and giving it a try.

I picked that one up from Fragbox A good portion of what I've got came from there

That’s where mine was from to. Haven’t seen it anywhere else before. He has recently had a few nice maricultured/wild chalices come through he chopped up.

There’s a pic of mine and the other really nice one I snagged a piece of.

Ooooh very pretty!
