One upon a time, back in the day, in the good old days –
well you know the type of kidney I’m going to rabbit on about. You got a new
TV, camera, video recorder, clock, barometer and so on it was a big deal. Now
you have to buy a new smartphone about every three years as the old one becomes
obsolete and it is all of this stuff. With me to you particularly important as
I use it for a lot of the content I put online.
Last time I went for a leading brand, this time a cheap £130
unknown brand, mainly because it has a bigger battery and I need a phone that
stays charged up all day. What I bought and has just turned up is an “OUKITEL
K6000 Pro 5.5"4G Android 6.0 Octa Core Smartphone 3GB+32GB 16MP Touch ID”
The main bit I use is the camera, I started with a Zenith B,
moved on to a Nikon F and when that got stolen went back to the Zenith and over
the years accumulated Pentax fitting camera gear. Well I do have a Pentax DSLR
but the last few years it’s the camera in my phone I use.
The camera in the Oukitel is so much better and so much
worse at the moment than the camera in my previous Samsung Note phone that we
have to wait and see while I learn to use it.
But for those of you with a limited budget, buying a budget
smartphone that you intend to use on some sort of pay as you go deal with a bit
of internet data.
OK I hear you, translation:- you spend £130 on smartphone
and then expect your mobile phone bill including mobile internet access to come
out in the £100 a year ball park.
So this blog post all photos done with the new phone
First the old Ramsgate cards
so copied with the phone in the living room, under electric light, some of the cards were pretty fuzzy to begin with, but the bottom one East Cliff Bathing station was pretty sharp, so I cropped out a bit of the detail from the photo of it
then an Out and About whit Me, this is 4.30 today and the light was going
Yep well the fuzzy the sharp and the strangely focused
lastly today's painting
lastly today's painting

Comments, since I started writing this blog in 2007 the way the internet works has changed a lot, comments and dialogue here were once viable in an open and anonymous sense. Now if you comment here I will only allow the comment if it seems to make sense and be related to what the post is about. I link the majority of my posts to the main local Facebook groups and to my Facebook account, “Michael Child” I guess the main Ramsgate Facebook group is We Love Ramsgate. For the most part the comments and dialogue related to the posts here goes on there. As for the rest of it, well this blog handles images better than Facebook, which is why I don’t post directly to my Facebook account, although if I take a lot of photos I am so lazy that I paste them directly from my camera card to my bookshop website and put a link on this blog.
