Cell Phone Pics

[SilverFly]

While cell phone optics will never be on par with dedicated photography gear, the quality has come an incredibly long way. Cell phones are also what we always have with us, and is all many us can justify spending for cameras.

With that in mind, hopefully a cell phone photo thread won't be overkill with all the other great image threads, but might be a good place to discuss issues and tech tips.

I'll kick things off with a few taken with my new Samsung S22.

I'm happy with the camera on my Pixel 6pro.

I've been pretty happy with my Pixel 4a. I'm about due for an upgrade...

closeup (not really macro), but it does pretty well with close-ups, although it can be tough to get a specific point in focus.

Awesome photos! I am lucky that I get to see those two mountains every day.

striking photos....obviously time to buy a Pixel and retire my old Moto g6.

FYI, the Pixel 6 Pro has a substantially better camera than the rest of the Pixel lineup (I don't know anything about the Pixel 7).

Amazing sky on the drive home tonight. Even more amazing these shots though a dirty windshield (passenger side) turned out with zero adjustments other than crops.

Incredible photos, guys!

Although, I do feel that living in the PNW makes it nearly impossible to take a bad photo!

My wife has the new samsung s22. I've noticed the pictures are much better than my old s8 active. The s8 has done a lot of swimming and survived many drops, but when the time comes I'll look forward to a better camera. I like having my phone for a number of reasons, so I decided against a dedicated camera.

To hell with these new fancy cameras! I still primarily shoot with film and my phone so I might be full of shit. Guys like David Alan Harvey still use thier phone a lot too.

Tuna camp at Westport. Early evening sun filtering through shore pines. Minor adjustments to exposure, contrast, and reduced saturation.

Westport tuna run Thurs. Heading out and in. No adjustments to either pic.
