My Last Photo — November ‘23

Brian, aka Bushboy, posted his monthly Last on the Card prompt, where he asks us to…

  • Post the last photo from your camera’s SD card or the last photo from your phone taken in the month of November.
  • No editing — who cares if it is out of focus, not framed as you would like, or the subject matter didn’t cooperate?
  • No explanations needed — just the photo will do.
  • Create a pingback to Brian’s post or link in the comments.
  • Use the tags “The Last Photo” and #LastOnTheCard.”

I’m doing something a little different this month. I’m featuring three photos I took a week ago testing the optical and digital zoom lenses on my new iPhone 15 Pro Max. Note, for purposes of saving media storage space on WordPress and to allow this page to load quickly, I’ve resized these photos from 24 megapixels for the first picture and 12 megapixels each for the next two photos, to 0.5 megapixels each.

The photos are of Mount Diablo from our backyard. Mount Diablo, at 3,800 feet elevation, is the tallest mountain in the San Francisco Bay Area. This first photo was taken using the iPhone’s standard 24mm lens. The peak of Mount Diablo is centered between the two pine trees.

This second photo was taken with the 120mm 5x optical zoom lens.

This third photo was taken with the same 120mm lens but using the 25x digital zoom setting.

Overall, I was pretty impressed with the results…for a camera phone, anyway.

    Try to get the size down to under 200 kb. Unless it’s a very busy picture, almost any other photo can be greatly reduced in size. Because cam photos are usually 72ppi, to get them sized right probably 5″ x 7″ would work. Small is better.
