Hi @lilacse!
It's so nice to see you!
Ironically, my smart phone takes photos with better clarity, but the digital camera does take some nice macro shots under the right conditions.
I'm afraid something is wrong with it though, because it cannot zoom in past 50% without losing focus ability, and even outdoors it is still grainy. I'm still able to work with it though. It actually takes warm photos that remind me of more old school non-digital cameras. What would you call them, analog? I'm not sure.
The rule of thirds is interesting. I learned it in photography class as a teenager and never forgot :)
Thank you for your kind and thoughtful comment my friend. I hope you have been well :)
