Using telephoto Zoom, I was able to get closer to this street performer in Edinburgh. The details look great.

I like using this phone’s high contrast black and white mode. It gives a huge look and is perfect for street photography. This was taken with a telephoto lens.

Even with a high zoom level, the details still look nice and sharp.

I like using the black and white look that any lens offers. This time, this is the main camera.

Using Zoom and focusing on this person’s phone provides a nice focus background for the scene.

But I’m shooting in Pro mode, so I have DNG RAW files that work. After some of the work of the lighthouse, I was able to create more pleasing images that showed lovely sunset colors. 15 Ultra files capture a lot of information.

This is my sweet orange fur ball edited original file very well. I like that phones keep shadows well and deep, rather than artificially lifting them up like many phones.

The original file edited at night is scaled using telephoto. This is needle-shaped.

Another night scene, which was shot with JPEG’s main camera during this time. Good exposure and clear details.

I also like the night I shot in the Arctic.

While this phone does a great job at night, it lacks the variable aperture of its predecessor, so the street lights here don’t have the attractive starlight I hoped for.

The wide aperture and large sensors also help capture clear details in indoor low-light scenes.
