Google Pixel 2 Camera Shots! Show Us Your Pictures

I always default to metal for those who don't follow, it's easier as I'm sure you know lol.

Trust me - some of my current mainstays are

Slaughter to Prevail
Oceano
Carnifex
Cattle Decapitation
Black Tongue
Infant Annihilator... To name a few

Looks like we'd have some musical tastes in common, but as much as I'd like to talk about music all day, I think we'll get scolded for not staying on topic

This is the *bomb*!!
I'm going to have to try for a shot like that close-up...

Yeah... that scenario has been the bane of my existence for a bit now. My wife takes a bunch of pics of the kids in not-so-ideal lighting and every phone that doesn't carry with it a Google seal... well, they are usually absolute trash. She is currently using my trusty old Nexus 6P because it can get the job done where a list of other phones fell on their faces... G4, S7, S7 Edge, G6, V30... every single one couldn't handle it because of HOW they attempt to take the pic.

The problem with those cameras is that in lower light situations, they lean on longer exposures to get enough light. Now, this is fine if you are taking a picture of a building.. but if you have a 7 year old that has a motor that runs at full throttle 24/7, yeah, longer exposures ain't going to cut it.

HDR+? Well, it goes about things differently. Rather than take longer exposures, it takes MORE (shorter) exposures. Then it goes in and snags the best picture in the set (presumably the one with the least amount of blurring) and builds the final image off that one using data from to others to clean things up. Brilliant system.

Yeah this is the main reason I went for the Pixel 2 over the Essential Phone. I absolutely love the design of the Essential, but when reports of its camera being mediocre at best, it just wasn't the device for me.

Does the camera app have an exposure slider for video mode? If I can use an external mic for audio recording with the Pixel 2 I think this will be my next phone.

It does, yes.

As for the external mic, there is no headphone jack, but I guess it could work with the included dongle through USB-C?

Thanks for that info. I'm going to dig into that and find out a little more. If I can get an external mic to handle the audio part I would be all set to go.

I am super impressed with this camera's video quality. This was taken in very poorly lit environment. Sorry in advance for the loud music

Coming from the V20 I'm not too impressed with the audio capture but the video quality is .

Here are a few my my trip to Cayman last week.

A very dark shot... It's really noisy at this kind of setting, but it is really decent given how little light there was at this shot.

Wow! I believe these photos are even better than on my OG Pixel XL. Impressive!

 

[nathy321]

Can someone please post low light videos? The low light videos on my original Pixel XL are extremely grainy compared to my 6P and I want to make sure they improved this, thanks.
