The NFC B-Day Chat Thread

Sorry DMC, I missed this! Haven't been keeping up as closely as I should. The iPhone cameras are very impressive lately! I'm between that and a Pixel. Don't really like my android anymore. Samsung Galaxy S6. Maybe the new Galaxies are better. They are up to 8 or 9 now. I really just want a great camera and battery life. I go to a lot of concerts and low light shots are always the biggest challenge. I'm not sure any phone camera can handle it.
The pixel looks like a good phone with a nice camera. It is an Android though--a real android from Google! It gets all the updates. My phone and tablet are stuck on Android 7 and there is not an update in site for them

My biggest problem is the birds won't sit still!
 
I thought you said you bought one last year and never used it?

Oh yeah, that's true. Sorry, idk how I forgot to mention that, yeah i got it as a birthday gift so i do feel bad not using it cause it was pretty expensive but idk. At the time i was really excited about it but now all the settings and having to learn how to edit is really intimidating. Idk. It sounds stupid. I'm sure once I actually tried it, I would like it and figure it out. But you also can't take real cameras (with removable lens) into most venues so idk if I should keep it or not. But it was expensive so I either need to learn how to use it and start using it or I need to sell it. It came as like a kit with a bunch of stuff which is why it was so expensive and I've never used it. I've heard the Sony WX350 is a nice one and it's compact. So I'm debating between learning how to use the one I have or selling it and getting a compact one. Trouble is if I start using the DSLR and hate it, then it's used and would sell for less as opposed to brand new like now. But then if I really like photography, I'd need to upgrade eventually and buy two cameras so maybe I should keep it. I just don't know.

Yeah, it seems to take good pictures from what I've seen although the idea of Google being able to track me scares me a bit lol I forgot Pixel was Android haha but wait... so you're saying there's newer Android versions?? Cause my phone is at 7 too with the latest update. I don't get how they can withhold updates? So you think Pixel would be better than other Androids then?
 
Gave some eggs and some of FSIL raspberry jam? Jelly? To a family friend last week, just figured he wanted them to eat but then he asked if he could enter it in the fair so I said sure cause I figure why not. Well anyway, the eggs got first place! His dad said they give a few first places (so idk if there's maybe different categories?) But still!! Considering I wasn't even planning on entering or didn't realize there was such a thing, I'm pretty happy. Although I think my parents are more happy than I am, they're like ecstatic/freaking out lol but it is pretty cool. The fair goes until Sunday, started Friday, so I think I may go down to the fair and see the eggs or see if it says what category or whatever I got. But heck, if I knew he was going to enter them, I would have chosen even better ones! Although I did try to put the best in the carton. I always give the best ones to people when we give them away (rare, usually just to my brother or friends who really need them). But yeah. Also wouldn't have refrigerated them since now they're wasted but oh well. I'm just amazed that I managed to get first place for such a last minute thing lol

I'm doing ok, except have had a relapse in my hip. Don't know what I did but it's really giving me some pain, again.
Take a look at my post on the Cafe thread, you'll see how things have been going with me and my birds.
