Not much to say, other than it wasn’t point-and-shoot. Took some effort, & this was after my 2nd try. Couldn’t get focus the first time. Tried again, a few hours later. Takes patience (& it was COLD (i.e., 10F)). I know it sometimes work. Done it before. SMILE.

Taken with my ‘Google’ ‘Pixel 8 Pro‘ camera this morning.
I saw it on the screen. Took me a second to work out what it was. It was in MACRO mode. Cool.
CLUE. It was something that was ON ME. OK?

That was kind of cute getting the ‘January 5, 2024’ Pixel 14 update at 8:38am on January 4, 2024.
This was for my brand new Google Pixel 8 Pro — which I only started using two days ago.
I think Google is pushing this update out, aggressively, to Pixel 8 users. I am not complaining. Rather nice not having to wait.

Getting myself a new Google Pixel phone for Christmas has become a new, annual tradition going back 5 years.
Nobody, but nobody can deny that I use my Pixel phones a LOT — not to make calls (which I do, rarely) nor to use any APPS. It is THE CAMERA. The Pixel is my goto CAMERA thought I also happen to have two other real cameras.
I get the Pixels for the camera. I have got used to the Pixel cameras. So, that is the justification.
I did not get a Pixel 3. I used my Pixel 2, my first Pixel for 2 years. But after that it was 4, 5, 6 Pro, 7 Pro & now 8 Pro.
Transitioning from an old Pixel to a new is getting easier and easier. Now you don’t even need to use a cable. All over Wi-Fi & it does most of it automatically. Pretty slick. Took me about an hour, all told — but I had to log into quite a few APPs and set-up biometrics.
So, as of today, my daily pictures, unless stated otherwise will be from this my new Pixel 8 Pro.
