It’s Dramatic Light Day!

A magnificent building with dramatic light

While on my sticker spotting mission…

A less magnificent building with the same dramatic light

Looking up into the sky, the trailing cloud from an airplane crosses the sky, flanked by two buildings

@maique I love these photos.  After upgrading my phone, I've started to re-appreciate shadows again. I'm finding Apple's image processing great for capturing people but terrible at capturing the actual feel of a place. My mirrorless camera does such a better job.

@gregmoore Apple’s processing does go into HDR territory often, I’ll just nudge the exposure down a bit and that seems to fix it.

And, of course, thank you!

@maique Thanks, I will try the tap-and-hold exposure trick next time. I’ve been frustrated trying to capture the fall leaves this year. Part of the beauty you see in real life is glowing colored tops with deep shadows underneath. The iPhone’s auto HDR all but refuses to capture that and it’s been driving me nuts. Anyway, thanks for coming to my Ted Talk.

@gregmoore I don't take a lot of photos with my iPhone for exactly this reason, but when I do, I enjoy Halide. I shoot in RAW only mode (not RAW+HEIC, not ProRAW, etc.), just RAW mode because it bypasses all of Apple's processing, and then that file feels more flexible to me when I put it into Lightroom or whatever. It feels better to me.

@mariovillalobos I should open up Halide more often too.

@mariovillalobos That is another way to do it, for sure. @gregmoore
