Night shots on iPhone 11 are awesome
I take a heap of photos inside or in low-light so I’m always interested when a new phone claims to handle them well.

Using Notes/Reminders when iCloud is blocked by Corporate firewall
I actually like using Apple Notes and Reminders. It lets me quickly capture thoughts and remind myself about ‘all the things’. However, the synching between my iPhone and MacBook is the most important feature when I’m in a shared network. I easily lose track of where I was if I don’t make notes. And I don’t trust writing things that are not backed up in the cloud somewhere. In some networks I have previously used, iCloud has been blocked by firewall policies.

Blog on the go
If you have thought about starting a blog there are many options out there. If you want to blog from your mobile (without frustration), then that cuts those options down a little. I’ve tried a few options and the WordPress App is first class in my opinion.

Photo and video ghosting on iPhone XR
The iPhone XR takes excellent night shots and slow motion footage. However, tonight at Ekka it was ‘ghosting’ with weird reflections in the sky. The only way to get rid of them was to point the camera parallel to the ground or lower. So consequently I’m guessing it was the lights and night sky causing some kind of glitch. Hopefully it’s not a common thing. I’ve checked the phone lens and nothing seemed to be obstructing it. I even removed the case to see if that was the cause. However that made no difference.

dji Tello is very nice for the price
At $169 AUD I wasn’t expecting a whole lot, but this drone is lots of fun. I couldn’t justify spending $600 + on the dji Spark or even more on the Mavic, so this is a nice entry level drone that might convince me to invest more. Most pleasing aspect for me was the quality of photos it can take in daylight. The video is not terrible, but it has no onboard memory card so sometimes gets interrupted by the wifi signal. That said, I still recommend this as an ideal first Drone. 👍🏼

Give way at Moorooka
So I just got off the train at Moorooka and the view from across the street was out of this world.

Richlands Station at sunset
Richlands Station looked like this for me often on my way home from work. Those colours are amazing and the architecture is not bad either.
