I made an organic milk run this evening and decided to take a stock shot. One of the many improvements that Samsung makes with the Galaxy S26 Ultra: Wider-aperture telephoto lenses that let in more light, which improves night shooting. The Featured Image, unedited and composed as captured, is good example. Vitals: f/2.9, ISO 640, 1/120 sec, 115mm (film equivalent); 8:51 p.m. PDT.
The choice of Sprouts is deliberate, and not just because I shopped there. The grocery store prohibits taking photos onsite; any attempt indoors will summon an employee lickety-split. In fact, if you need assistance and can’t find anyone around, pull out your phone and pretend to photograph something. It’s like rubbing the genie jar and poof.
I remember when Sprouts used to be Henry’s, which I regard as superior name. Think about it. Many successful supermarkets choose similar nomenclature: Albertsons, Aldi, Alex Lee, Baker’s, Dillons, Fred Meyer, Haggen, Harmons, Kroger, Raley’s, Ralph’s, Randalls, Shaw’s, Smith’s, Trader Joe’s, Vons, and Weis, among others. My vote is for those using first names. Hey, just an opinion.
