We had visitors from our US office so I'm off to London to show them the sights and sounds and maybe have a beer or three!
The ability to take photo spheres comes with Android 4.2 otherwise known as Jelly Bean.
One of the many benefits of buying a "pure Android" Nexus 4 smartphone.
Bournemouth, 23rd August 2014. Walking down by the beach and suddenly it was like I was in a film.
Nexus 4 cameraphone, taken through Primark sunglasses (that bloom at the bottom left is the frame rather than the lens; I kept it in there rather than cropping it out to show you what's what).
Running Android 4.2 Jelly Bean. This phone is buttery smooth and super fast! I'm amazed with the battery life. The best Android phone I've owned to date!

I usually set off early to go to business meetings to ensure that I get there on time. Unfortunately I was running later than I would like this morning, so when I drove past this point with the sun much lower than this and an autumn mist in the air and everything looking beautiful I was so annoyed that I didn't have time to stop for a photo. I then realised that I had rushed out of the house without my camera anyway.
So, on the way home from the meeting just an hour later I was able to stop, but the mist had gone and the whole atmosphere had changed. I still like the result, considering this is a mobile phone snapshot but it wasn't what I saw first thing. Still, it was a lovely drive in the countryside on a beautiful autumn morning.
And the sun is round, so it goes in the circles theme too!
This is the first time I have used lense blur feature of google camera. Might be old news for many but I found it quite tricky to get it right. You need to keep the subject in the centre then move the camera in an arc with steady hand to feed the depth information. I had to make several attempts. Once done focus and DOF can be readjusted with edit button, an HTC M8 like trick without the benefit of the second camera.
fes
Morocco leather is famously soft and luxurious. In towns like Fes, Marrakesh and Taroudant you can even visit the tanneries to see it being cured. It comes in a myriad of forms from belts, bags and clothing to pouffes and even book covers, but Morocco’s best-known leather item is the babouche, or slipper. Classic Moroccan babouches, open at the heel, are immensely comfortable, and produced in yellow (the usual colour), white, red (for women) and occasionally grey or black; a good pair – and quality varies enormously – can cost anything between €5 and €25. Marrakesh and Tafraoute are especially good for babouches.
