An approximate history of my amateur phone photography:
1. Really poor photos. Unsavory interest in (low resolution) panoramas.
2. Photos get a little better. Sometimes they're HDRs (I suspect the camera app was set to "auto").
3. A new phone. Higher resolution and a gyroscope.
4. Switching to LineageOS, and therefore to #OpenCamera. HDR enabled unconditionally.
5. HDR does not always come great (compared to the stock Motorola app that doesn't work anymore). I enable saving component photos, so I could try getting a better quality combination using the PC. I never manage that.
6. I start experimenting with exposure correction (combined with HDR). Sometimes I do multiple photos with different "Eves" to choose the best one.
7. A new phone. Finally, given even the gyroscope was failing already.
8. I learn that Pixels have "HDR " that gets activated when you do standard mode photos. For a while I do both standard and HDR photos; also I compare the middle component image with the standard mode image. [opencamera.sourceforge.io/help]
9. Before I reach any final conclusions, I read "What is HDR, anyway?" I disable HDR entirely, instead I save standard mode (i.e. HDR ) raw images (which presumably aren't affected by HDR ) [lux.camera/what-is-hdr/]. Not that I ever managed to get anything good out of raws.
10. I discover that I can switch the lens. Today I've made my first photos, switching lens to get optical zoom 💪.

'Dem Boden ganz nah' #FotoVorschlag 'close to the ground'
I think this could fit the topic. I took this photo when we had some vacations at the #balticSea . Quite a while ago - but all fond memories. 🙂

A timeless monochrome scene unfolds along a windswept sandy path, where weathered wooden posts stand as silent sentinels. The foreground post, richly textured with deep grooves and cracks, dominates the frame, its rough bark telling stories of seasons passed. Beyond it, the path stretches into the distance, flanked by more posts that gradually fade into soft focus, guiding the eye toward the gentle rise of a dune. Delicate grasses, caught in mid-sway, add a whisper of movement to the otherwise …
