Tower of the Historic Town Hall, Cologne, Germany.
Hi all, I just wanted to present you a picture I've taken with my Samsung Galaxy S7 edge phone. I've taken this picture in RAW (.DNG) using manual mode and then made some adjustments in Lightroom. I'm really surprised how good the quality of the result is. Looks as if you don't always need a DSLR to take quality images. Although I have of course to admit that it was a bright day and therefore an easy take. What do you think? --Code (talk) 04:53, 15 June 2017 (UTC)
I didn't even know you could do RAW on a smart phone. I like the photo and think it could pass QIC. Not sure about FPC. But the town hall looks tilted backwards and to the right to me. Is it naturally that way or lens distortion? PumpkinSkytalk11:25, 15 June 2017 (UTC)
I did a perspective correction in Lightroom, I think there is no leaning or whatever any more. Of course there's no such thing like a shift-lens for a smartphone so the perspective correction has to be done using a software. --Code (talk) 12:18, 15 June 2017 (UTC)
Congrats, but how many of them did you take with your phone? (Not that I had one, but I think I've got the ambition to give it a try once. We'll see.). --Code (talk) 05:17, 16 June 2017 (UTC)
Modern, high end phone cameras can certainly take QI photos in good lighting. For nighttime photography, you can stack many photos to reduce noise and get similar performance as a DSLR [1]. dllu(t,c)06:47, 18 June 2017 (UTC)
