Going Slow

Adrian asked me what the video is like on the iPhone 6s.

Standard video can be recorded at 720p or 1080p HD
Also built in is a slow motion mode:
1080p at 120 frames per second and 720p at 240 frames per second.
Some modes are auto stabilised.

This is my first attempt at moving in close with slow motion set at 240 fps:


Soundtrack music by Christian Bjoerklund from the Free Music Archive.

Wondering whether these are the bees which took over the nestbox.
Love the one which videobombed the action in the last clip.
I can see me having great fun with this mode in the Summer.
Haven't worked out yet as to why the motion speeds up at the end of each clip.

For standard video the lens is quite wide angle, as with most mobile phones.
I've just had a quick go with that.
Also built in are time lapse video and panorama stills modes.

Yellow in the Yellowbelly County

Yellowbelly - a term sometimes used to describe a person from Lincolnshire.
The derivation is lost in the mists of time. Some ideas here on Wikipedia.

Yellow flowers spotted yesterday.

 Firstly the Ice Plant shown a few days ago.
An excellent ground cover plant very tolerant to drought:


Another excellent ground cover plant, drought tolerant:
A Sedum but I forget which:



Dandelion. Loved by insects and the bane of many a gardener:


Buttercup. Far too many in my lawn. As a child did you ever hold one under someone's chin to see whether the reflected yellow Sunlight showed they liked butter?
 

My tomato plants flowering nicely:


Lincolnshire wouldn't be the same without its glowing fields of Oilseed Rape:

In The Pink

Acquired a new (to me) iPhone 6s recently and now I think I've won the battle to set it up the way I want it to work it is time to give the 12M pixel camera a try out. I was pleased it seems to focus right down to a couple of inches. These were taken with the Camera+ app as I am used to it and find it less confusing than the app which comes with iOS:

Rockery Dianthus


Chives


Clematis


These are as taken, no retouching or even cropping.

Is air travel popular?

I guess the answer is yes looking at these screenshots taken just before 8 a.m. this morning.
These are real time representations of the aircraft in the sky.

World view:


A closer view of UK and near Europe:


I find Flightradar24 to be the best of the flight tracking sites I have looked at.
It can be found HERE.
You can zoom in and out.
The aircraft icons move in real time.
Clicking on any shows the path it has taken and usually some information about the aircraft.
The site is ad supported.

If you are mad keen then Flightradar24 has apps on Goole Play and Apple app stores.

Monday Montage

Last week's WidsMob Montage modified photo caused no problems:



Well done to Adrian, Alison Miller, Ragged Robin, Wilma and The Weaver of Grass who all identified:



A light switch.


I wonder how you will get on with this one:



If you think you know what it is please leave your guess in the comments.
They will be revealed, along with the original photo, next Monday.
