Huawei p20 pro

[james_tigerwoods]

Just thought I'd share these to those that haven't tried it or are considering the P20 Pro. My daughter was at the "Young Voices" choir thing in Sheffield on Friday and I realised just how much I love my camera on my phone.

This photo shows you the perspective we had and I've highlighted where the school was:



At full zoom, you can clearly make out the kids and who is who (specifically my daughter highlighted) in this case. Amazingly, the videos are just as clear and you can clearly identify her (and her friends) in them:



Me, I'm seriously impressed

Yeah the camera is really really good.

Don't suppose anyone backs up to a synology NAS do they?

[james_tigerwoods]

Personally, I just back up to Google...

I got it last week (possibly because I was in the US?), it's mostly the same tbh except I keep opening an app trying to turn the ringer volume down.

I backup to Synology using Ds Photo app. Much prefer Google photos backup though.

Mine hasn't updated to 9 yet and I'm on three

How have you kept it steady for that long - I've tried long exposure like this and I just can't hold it steady enough for long enough...

[Trustmeimadoctor]

I shake like a stting dog and even i can manage it!

Magic... or just really steady hands.

I have others and its not more than trying not to move much.

[Dan_1981]

You don't even have to hold it that still i find the software is really pretty good at merging the various bits that it gets in nightmode.

[james_tigerwoods]

Ahh - I tried doing it with fireworks and failed miserably. I suspect it was because it was fireworks... I'll try static night shots some time then
