OK, with the Nexus 5 in recycling now, I’ve installed OM System’s app “Image Share” onto the Pixel 3a of my late brother, making it a very useful tool even without a SIM card – at least at home it’s now a remote not only for the camera but also for the TV and stereo sets.
To check it out immediately, I took my camera which still has its “kit zoom” (14-42mm lens, equivalent to 28-84mm on a film camera) mounted, and sat in the chair beside the piano. With normal daylight and the Pixel 3a phone as my remote, I took this:
This is again “developed” from the raw .orf into a .tif file using OM System’s Workspace (on Windows 11), then with Silver Efex (the old and free one when it still belonged to Google) I simulated Kodak’s famous Tri-X film stock again; did a bit of metadata editing in RawTherapee (back on Linux); done.
It’s important to have photographs of those you love. I can’t force anyone to sit in front of my lens and have his/her photo taken, but I can at least take my own ones from time to time. Least you can do for those you love.
Like always, thanks for viewing, and for reading.
