For the first time this month, I hauled down to Old Trolley Barn Park for the third Friday night of summer concerts. Performing this evening: San Diego Funk All Stars. I more or less sauntered through, taking a few quickies using Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra.
I carry Leica Q2 less often than ever and seriously consider selling it. I love the camera, but the smartphone is convenient and the photos are increasingly good enough, particularly as artificial intelligence-enhanced software makes magic happen to most any shot.
The Featured Image isn’t spectacular, but I nevertheless like it enough to share with you. The woman swung the hammock, which challenged the S24 Ultra’s ability to choose the right point of focus when Portrait mode was activated. (The feature mimics bokeh.) Vitals: f/2.4, ISO 50, 1/250 sec, 70mm (film equivalent); 6:28 p.m. PDT.
