Trip to the zoo, miserable weather mind you.

I must say that I'm really impressed with low light pictures... What's an improvement!

 

[AndroidJay]

I am also very impressed. I had to return my Note 7. I can not wait till Google ships my Pixel.

not sure that's macro, but it does have nice bokeh ;-)

A few from this last Saturday including the infamous halo effect on one. Seen it a couple times, so not sure if my phone has the lens issue some are reporting or if it was just an angle that most devices would show a halo on.

Motion shot of my daughter. All on auto just added the stock black and white filter after the fact.

Here's some of mine from this weekend in Salem. Good mix of daylight and near pitch-black shots.

Wow. Another set of great photos, some of them in low light with still lots of detail. Congrats

fantastic! motion shots of my kids was the reason i got an real camera (Canon T2I) because with all my previous phones this was impossible.

I can't deny that that lens blur looks pretty bad. Very unnatural and uneven; more like a smear on the lens than actual background blur. I know Google is trying to force bokeh but this is an awful way to do it.

I agree. Since we have the feature, why not try it out and see if I can perfect it.

Pumpkin picking with the family. All taken with HDR + in auto. Love this camera!

I use lens blur sometimes on food. I find it very good when it's a smaller object closer to you. Never use it on a person or a car before.

Appropriate bokeh occurs when you have a specific maximum distance between the lens and the subject and a specific minimum distance between your subject and the background. Macro shots are good for this because the lens is very close to the subject, reducing the minimum distance required for the background. When your subject is farther away from the lens, the background needs to be farther away. And these things change depending on your focal length and aperture size. Zoom lenses "compress" the distances and exaggerate things in a way that you can get great bokeh with average sized apertures from a longer distance from your subject, whereas shorter distances requires a wider aperture and a greater distance between subject and backgound.
