Nature in Singapore with the iPhone 7 zoom

[ImageArt]

I just couldn't go back to my iPhone 6 now. I am sure that when the iPhone 8 comes out it will be even better but boy, the camera on the 7 just kicks ass. I have found close ups particularly amazing because of the depth of field that the 7 creates. Focusing on an object that is not in the centre of the photograph is crucial.

These are gorgeous, Ann, especially the bee and the bird. (I can't over the feeling the bird is saying "Hey look guys, I'm a Bird of Paradise!")

These are all great photos. Your flower photos came out much better than mine. Nicely done!!!

Thanks, Ted. I feel like a fraud with such a good camera. I wouldn't have attempted getting birds in the past. Just too far away but this just gets you that little bit closer that it can now sometimes be possible.

These are gorgeous Ann...
Yeah, that zoom is so great... and wait until you check out the portrait mode!

I'm sure it won't be long before you are churning out some wonderful stuff with your 7, Mel. Can't wait to see what everybody else produces.

Great photos. It just makes me sad that by the time my 7+ arrives it will be winter so colourful nature close-up are quite a while away.

Oh, but you'll have lots of snowscapes, and icicles, and frozen stuff and frosty things.

Thank you. Well, I know Singapore is meant to be hotter than Hong Kong where I live at the moment, but every time I have gone I haven't noticed any difference. Admittedly it has always been more or less this time of year which is a pleasant time to be in either Singapore or Hong Kong.

I like Singapore a lot. It is probably my favourite Asian country although my very favourite place is Langkawi in Malaysia which is where we are going for Christmas. This is like my paradise holiday. We stay in the rainforest area and there are lots of animals and birds and the golf course is beautiful. I think this is the 5th time we are going there and will probably be the last now for a long time.

Yes, FundyBrian, and that will be very different from the sort of stuff I get to see and you are so clever with these pics.

Singapore is relentlessly hot. At least HK cools off for a few months. The Lion City is fine if you toe the line but threaten the Lee family business and they will crush you without mercy. It's still basically a police state with good landscaping. Disneyland with the death penalty, as William Gibson dubbed it in his classic Wired piece. It also has too many Singaporeans, but I digress

Well, I left out something I thought of saying - apart from our hotel, we got the worse service generally than I have ever experienced. Pure indifference. I walked out of a cafe after waiting 20 minutes for them to bring me my cappuccino and I have no doubt they forgot. Yes, I understand what you say. The Singaporeans are terribly arrogant and I am sure that living there you will feel the viewpoint you express but I love going to the two gardens and the Wetlands and taking photos. I sometimes find the awful litter and junk lying around in other Asian countries quite depressing and it just makes a change to be in a place that is spick and span. I'm sure I would find it too sterile after a while.

If you look at an Asian country with Chinese people esp from China you will find them littering and throwing rubbishes around speak loudly. As for the Singaporeans they are quite arrogant people cos they are afraid to lose but their street are quite clean. As for my country Malaysia is a bit worst(littering) cos of the illegal immigrants from India and Indonesia but the local people are quite friendly and helpful
Further up north is a bit cool and if you are visiting Langkawi don't forget to bring an umbrella with you cos its the inter-monsson period.
Do enjoy your holiday there and the beaches, golf course, rainforests and mountains are very beautiful.
Looking forward to see you captured photos

Do ice crystals.
