Not a particularly original picture, but I think it’s not bad for a 175 Euros camera that can also surf the web and make phone calls. Sometimes the default JPG processing is a bit too much, but the raw files give you a lot of latitude. What do you think?
Thanks.
Had a hard time in trying to apply a parametric mask in darktable to the exposure module, and gave up in the end due to too many color artifacts. It’s been a while since I’ve used parametric masks so I believe the new linear workflow requires relearning masks.
I like to process with details in the shadows. There was a lot of noise in there, but not unusable. Could have pushed denoise a lot more too, but I don’t need perfect smoothness - am happy if it can somewhat resemble film grain.
Edit: What causes the scratchy artefacts seen in fine details, like the grass to the left of the ducks?
Nice shot @agriggio. May be you can add Mobile Photography Category in addition to the Play Raw. Here is an attempt using RT 5.8 IMG_20200613_205330.jpg.out.pp3 (12.3 KB)
that’s my feeling too. This phone is so good that it could easily be the only camera I need. It certainly helps that I’m not a pixel peeper, and for sure when I have the camera with me I much prefer using that, but unless I’m specifically planning to take pictures, I feel no need to carry the camera with me anymore…
Here’s another example:
Are there differences? Yes, definitely. But are they significant for this kind of shots? Not for me, especially when downsized for web view and/or small prints. But you need to shoot raw, the jpg output of the phone is really terrible at times…
I like this so much you inspired me to make mine better. The answer? Retain some sky drama by applying a gradient mask to filmic! (And some extra sharpening) I might have to get photoflow to see how yours was done.
