The 20th day of release it shipped and arrived the same day. I do like it although it’s a bit big.

Your pictures look nice
One thing I think is very important that I feel like a lot of people don’t pay attention to (seems like you are though) is the background. It really makes a difference. With a phone you probably have the hardest time with the pictures being blurry. One thing I like doing is putting a chicken on something so they have a harder time moving and then getting their attention with food. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t. Like this:

Honestly I don’t really think there is much that I know to help with a phone. I saw on Lacy’s thread that you were looking to buy a camera. I agree with the others that 300 is probably too low. I have a Nikon D3500 which I absolutely love and would definitely recommend. I think it was around 600-800 new. I think all you can find of those now is refurbished for about 400-500 maybe. You can find refurbished ones in really good shape. I also have a Canon Rebel 76 which are similar price. I know Lacy has a Rebel T5 that she really likes.

Not much you can do with a phone camera to improve other than focus on trying to get them to stay still and in focus better. Better backgrounds can help with that as well. But the best option is getting a "real" camera. what was your budget for a new camera again? I have a canon EOS 60D and while it is expensive it is most definitely worth it.
