It probably depends on the camera or phone. I find it particularly annoying that son Harry can take better quality photos with his Google phone than I can with my ‘point and shoot’ Canon camera. 

It’s fair to say that camera phones have come a long way over the past few years and it is easily possible to get some quite stunning images with them.  Add in some digital enhancements in Lightroom or Photoshop (for example) and they can look incredible.  That said, the lenses are not comparable in terms of quality to a good DSLR or mirrorless camera, with flare and other aberrations being apparent in certain lighting conditions.  Zoom on most camera phones is digital, which effectively enlarges the pixels and markedly degrades the results, too although generally more than adequate viewing on a tablet or PC screen, they will not stand enlarging for printing to the same degree.

I think I might bring my little camera with me next time to try it out.

The sunset photos were on an IPhone 12 without any playing with the settings.

on the outskirts of Yarmouth now and I seem to have inserted myself into the Freeman owners club CinC !!!

 

[NeilB]

None of the Freeman’s ran out of petrol across Breydon and I passed another familiar face!

Just stopped at Berney Arms as I’ve a meeting I cannot avoid !

[NeilB]

Nabbed the last mooring and currently at The Locks enjoying a nice pint!  I was going to eat here but it’s quiz and nachos night which I don’t fancy so I’ll wander up to the Wherry instead.

Not sure my 42ft plus dinghy will fit at the Wherry moorings so might have a recce in the dinghy for future trips.

I’ve not been past Beccles bridge since a spotty teenager with my parents, a long, long time ago.  It’s worth the trip and on a par with the Bure above Coltishall.

Notice I tried being artistic with my out of focus beer and in focus Rambling Rosie!

That trip up the Waveney above the Beccles Old Bridge is special.

100% yes.

[kpnut]

Agreed in full

[NeilB]

Had a nice meal in The Wherry last night, only 20 mins walk from the Locks.

Just left Beccles behind and should have the tide most of the way to Reedham.  Aiming for Loddon today so should pass Grendel at some point!

He’s definitely about . . . . . . . . . . . . . . passed him on The Chet a couple of hours ago!

Might see you later Neil!  Currently sitting in the sunshine at Pyes Mill!

It’s quite busy this morning!  A fair bit of coming and going.  There’s still some room here, but we haven’t ventured down to the basin to check there.

Just going past Reedham ferry so I’ll pop down and see, got plenty of time if it’s full.

[NeilB]

Pretty full at Payless Mill but Malcolm kindly shuffled up a little so managed to squeeze in.  Thanks Mouldy!

Had a nice chat, spent half an hour fixing a domestic water leak then and wandered up to Loddon and back. Now sat in the sun pondering what to cook tonight.

My pleasure Neil!  As for food, the guy to our stern has his barbecue fired up and the smell is making me both hungry and slightly envious!

Aha,  I'm not the only one that spellchecker picks on.

Easy!  

[YnysMon]

We’ll, it’s sort of ‘Payless’ in a sense…compared to other places. The spellchecker is obviously in tune with the general forum opinion! (Not mentioning other places up north…).

[Broads01]

At least you didn't go to Watford Bridge.

If you had, I would have popped along to say 'Hi' - I'm just down the road from Watford ...

Nice morning cruise to Rockland Staithe,bit tight and a few nervous glances from other boaters but managed to squeeze in. 1st time I’ve ever been here so I will celebrate by having lunch in the pub!!

Few cleaning duties to attend to onboard first though

Their ciabatta based lunches come highly recommended and not just by me.  Have a pint of Nightingale for me.  It’s bloody lovely!

[kpnut]

Now that does look lovely.
I’ve only been to Rockland twice but never moored at the staithe. It’s on the list for my next trip south. 

[Broads01]

I agree Rockland Staithe and the New Inn are both brilliant. If there's no room at the Staithe or you fancy a quieter spot, the pub is an easy walk from the Short Dyke moorings on the way in to the Broad.
