Let's see what you've taken on a phone...

[Kermit power]

Evening all,

I got a new phone on Sunday. It's an Honor View 20, which is the first phone released with Sony's new 48MP sensor, which has the ability to pool pixels together, especially in low light, to give a 12MP shot with much larger than average pixels.

I've only just been having a quick play with it whilst on a business trip, but so far I'm pretty impressed with its ability to let me take shots like this, handheld. Yes, I could doubtless get better with my DSLR and a prime on a tripod, but this was handheld, after dark on a phone, so effectively "free", given that I'd be buying the phone anyway!

The shot below is 100% straight out of the phone. No editing, no sharpening, no editing, nothing...

Given the standard of many camera phones these days, I'm sure plenty of you have got some really cracking shots with them, so let's see your best!

Taken last year in Wales on my S9+, been meaning to straighten it up a bit and have it on a canvas in the lounge:



I'm sure the "professionals" could take it to pieces though!

I tend to take 'snaps' on my phone rather than photographs - and because I rarely take my Leica anywhere these days, because the iPhone is easier, I rarely take decent photos.

I caught a friend's dog with my phone and was quite pleased with it - straight from the phone.

Quite possibly so, but it's a cracking shot, and how often do you see something and think "that'd make a cracking shot if i just had my camera with me"?

I'm on a three day business trip with hand luggage only... No way have I got room for a camera and tripod, let alone colleagues I'd expect to stand around waiting for me to set it up. It's the phone or nothing, and until recently it wouldn't have been worth taking on a phone.

I'm not a photographer but I'm always snapping with my iPhone 8, either to capture memories or things that inspire me as an artist. I took this walking to work yesterday morning...

Taken on a now ~5 year old HTC One. A print 30 inches on the long edge is hanging in the sitting room and looks fab.

Taken in night mode on a Hwawei P20 Pro, there is just a faint street light 15 yards away to the right

Don't we already have a thread for this?
