Playing with Nightscape.

1. Nightscape
2.GCam Nightshot

Looks like Nightscape is cleaner with a lot less noise than GCam and GCam blows out a lot of the light in the far building. If you also look at the detail on the nearest building, GCam is not as crisp with the concrete blocks on the wall.

Seems like GCam is a lot brighter at the expense of the added noise. The Nightscape shot is darker but looks good.

The thing is, I can quickly edit and just increase the exposure on the Nightscape shot and make it brighter than the GCam image and still maintain the low noise and also keep more detail.

You don't even have to work hard when the sunsets are this gorgeous. Took these a few days ago.

Hanging out at the Ocean City Boardwalk with my little guy. Portrait mode and wide angle.

Shot some long exposures with ND filters attached last night. Played around with different shutter speeds. First two were 13 seconds. The last one was shot without the filters at 1.3 seconds. Edited in Lightroom. I wanted to go for 30 but forgot I had my more powerful variable ND filter in the car so I could only go up to about 13 seconds without over exposing too much.

Fantastic!

[RaRa85]

Fantastic!

Appreciate it Morty.

This sounds very promising and has the makings of a phone I'll definitely keep for maybe two years and beyond if they execute it properly. I'm most excited about the "tripod" night mode though.

"Tripod Night Mode" - that sounds amazing!

Yeah I can't wait to try that one out.

Cute doggie! And those doughnuts look delicious!

Just testing out the camera after the recent update. Couple random Nightscape shots.

This is what I'll say. If the point is to make one a better photographer, this information is not helpful but actually more harmful. You're bringing up theories and terminology. I showed a simple example (an actual picture) that was not my desired outcome. I immediately knew what setting on my phone to change to get the desired outcome. The application shows that I know exactly what I'm doing in terms of what I want to do. So no, I'm not reading through that crap. Again here's a real world example and not theories about ISO gain or signal to noise ratios or whatever. It does not help me take a better photograph because I already did without that information. Everything was the same in the two photos except for the one setting(I'm not even going to say it) and the person controlling the sparkler light source.

What you're doing is the equivalent of telling someone the brakes on a car is not what slows it down but actually a velocity decreasing timer mechanism. If the car slows down when you press the brakes do you think the driver really cares? And I'll tell you this, no professional photographer who may not have a grasp of whatever the graphs and theories explains cares. They just go out and take pictures , great pictures that appear in magazines and billboards. I didn't know any of what you shared and did I reach a better conclusion in my picture? Anyone with eyes can say I did.

Well put, RaRa. As long as you know what you're doing to achieve your results that's all that matters.

Very clear photo! Amazing!

Thanks. Don't you own a Pixel 2 currently? Do you plan on getting the Pixel 4this fall?

[Morty2264]

Thanks. Don't you own a Pixel 2 currently? Do you plan on getting the Pixel 4this fall?

You're welcome! Yes, I do have a Pixel 2! Honestly, I'm not sure. I think I'm going to get the Samsung Galaxy S10e.

S10e? Why that over a Pixel 4? What features are you specifically looking for?

[Morty2264]

It's the phone that best meets my needs: smallest Samsung Galaxy S10 flagship; flat screen; good camera; ip68; love the general aesthetics of it; and its price.

I love my Pixel but I usually get a different manufacturer each year and I've never tried Samsung... So that's where I'm leaning. But I'm hoping they will release a smaller Pixel 4 (I think I saw that somewhere?); so I will be keeping an eye on that.

Sorry to derail this thread! Sometimes I'm bad at seguing to other topics, even IRL.

Lol it's all good. I was the one that asked the question. But you have some very valid arguments for the S10e actually.
