Another Crappy Cell-Phone Pic

Saw these while shopping earlier today...

I looked for a Wheel of Life tee shirt but no joy.  They must have been sold out.

Apropos o' everything... I cannot, for the life of me, get a good photo out of the mePhone.  It all comes down to holding that damned lil thing STEADY and that defeats me.  Every time.

And now... BEER me!

    Maybe if you were beered before taking the photos that would help?

      It might help. But I'd get a DWI on the way there or back... NOT good.

    Always it calls to mind
    The Quiet Man

    Tis a fine steady hand you have, as she pours him a drink

    None get the reference but me, I find I can live with that.

      That quote IS obscure. Even Google doesn't get it.

      I guess I'm seriously uninformed. (sigh)

      It's the marriage broker on his first visit to the young lady of the second part's home. She offers him tea or maybe a bit of whisky and he naturally opts for the whisky and she seats him in the parlor, pulls out a bottle of the good stuff and carefully pours a very small measured drop into the glass. He then compliments her by saying, tis a fine steady hand you have, at which point she tops up the glass all proper and Irish like. I've seen the movie a couple of times over the years.

    speed is too slow. You need a speed of 1/125 or better. Not sure if your phone has a shutter priority, but I would use that. If not, maybe it has a "sports" setting, which is usually shutter priority. I'm not impressed that it tries to use such a slow speed, but maybe you have flash set to always on??

      The mePhone's camera has NO controls, other than changing the focus point. I bought an add-on camera app but the damned thing quits working every time the OS is updated.

    I'm sure that the fact that your an old fart, such as myself, has nothing to do with holding your phone steady.
