Along Adams Ave., at the end of the bridge above Texas Street, I spotted some huge birds in the trees below. The vantage point presented another opportunity to see how good (or bad) Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra could be shooting distant objects.
Unlike the S23 Ultra, which packs 10x optical lens, the newer model relies on 5x optical and in-camera close-cropping 50-megapixels to produce something that is supposed to be as good as, or better than, the last-generation smartphone. You judge.
The Featured Image and companion are unaltered and composed as shot. Vitals for both: f/3.4, ISO 32, 1/120 sec, (synthetic) 230mm (digital and optical zoom); 11:46 a.m. PDT, today.
Now the question: Are they crows or ravens. The birds were quite large, which could mean raven. But I can’t tell. How about you?
