I have found many people overlook this part of the blog which is often more interesting than the original post!

My blog nick-name is SIR HUGH. I'm not from the aristocracy - my middle name is Hugh which relates to the list of 282 hills in Scotland compiled by Sir Hugh Munro in 1891. I climbed my last one (Sgurr Mor) on 28th June 2009

iPhone as a camera. No thanks!

 Thursday 6th March 2025

I am still walking with Pete on Thursdays although during the winter it has been too cold or too inclement for Pete and we have just gone to Café Ambio without walking. However, today was glorious and almost warm and we walked  very steadily about half a mile each way at Mill Side under the eye of Whitbarrow. At age 90 Pete is in good heart and we enjoy our post walk retreat to Café Ambio.

I took some photos with the iPhone to give it another try. Whilst I have to admit the quality of the photos is better than my Lumix there is one problem that I just can't live with. The finger slider which selects Photo, Pano, Portrait, Slo-Mo etc. has s life of its own. So often it has moved on, blown by the wind I suspect, and that is only discovered after you think you have taken a photo. This is an egregious design fault. There should be some way of locking it, but despite trawling the Internet I don't think there is. That problem alone is serious enough for me to have no intention of changing to the iPhone as my cameras of choice.
