The smartphone is making a lot of us not so smart. But one feature makes us look smart. And that is the camera. A good smartphone can make a lot of us look good photographers. Of course, filters available on other platforms add to the impression further :))

DYK camera is the #1 feature on a lot of smart phones are sold.

Chandra prefers to click nature without a human being in the frame. He does not take selfies or of other people. But he is ‘trigger happy’ with birds, animals, flowers, nature, et al.

He saw a beautiful garden, with some really beautiful flowers. He immediately thought, “This would make it a great click!”. He pulled out his iPhone and focused on the flowers. 💐 🌺 🌼 The landscape behind looked great too. Tried to focus on the background, and other elements beyond the flowers, which caught his attention initially.

As he focussed on various elements in the background, he said something to his shock. Someone else was already focussing on him! A cheetah! An old, weak, and tired cheetah was looking at all the drama. Looked a bit weak to attack or escape… though Chandra did not want to take a chance. But then he froze to find a real cheetah looking at him!

And he woke up from the dream!
