Yesterday I upgraded my 3.5 year old android phone to a Google Pixel-10 Pro. I've been familiarizing myself with its photo capabilities and am very pleased with the clarity and crispness of the pictures it takes. Here is an example from my JJD WWI French infantry display shelf. By using the available editing features on the new phone, I was able to create all of these pictures from one photo.

The Original Photo

A worthy upgrade Mike, clear and with loads of editing features such as removing bases etc. This is a great series John has done, based one step back from the fighting front lines of WW1 and depicting the harsh realities of war. That gun team is a rare piece. Had a person who was aware that I had one and very much wanted it, as he just could not find one anywhere. Robin.

The new phone has a great camera with great editing features for sure Robin. From the original photo, I cropped it and erased the two stretcher bearers = photo #2. Photo #3 was created by cropping and erasing the exposed gun parts and crew, leaving just the stretcher bearer and the two infantry figures. Again by cropping the original picture and erasing any gun parts showing as well as the two infantry figures and their shadows = photo #4. All of the bases were also eliminated by using the "magic eraser" feature on the phone. Easy peasy . . .

Thanks Paddy and you are more than welcome. As magical looking as some of our figures are, they are even more so when photographed with a good camera.

"As magical looking as some of our figures are, they are even more so when photographed with a good camera."

You & others have proved that to be true.
Thanks!

My dio could use some sprucing up with a camera like yours Mike. Nevertheless I do enjoy these figures, which I regard as ‘at rest’ style. Robin.

Certainly a very nice looking display Robin. I would call it the "Walking Wounded" or "The Aid Station". I also have all these sets but have not utilized the as well as you have here.

Thanks Mike. We certainly have come a long way in photo technology. The AI editing features now available on Android and Smart cell phones is just crazy.
