Dave RahardjaSo I went to a couple of car meets today and did an A/B/C #shootout on an #iPhone14Pro and #GooglePixel7. All images appear in this sequence:
1. #Halide app on #iPhone 14 Pro, RAW with as many post-processing options turned off as possible
2 iPhone 14 Pro camera app, #ProRAW
3. #Google #Pixel 7, RAW
The photos are mostly images of cars, not people.
All images are shot with the default 1x lens.
All images are imported as .dng into Lightroom and left as-is *except* for Halide shots which are all inexplicably overexposed by around 1.5 stops. For those shots, I manually lowered exposure, but left all other sliders where they were.
Halide produces 12 MP images even when I choose 48 MP. iPhone camera produces 48 MP images. Pixel 7 produces 12 MP images. It’s pretty obvious that the “48 MP” and “50 MP” images are synthesized out of binned-pixel 12 MP sensors. The images uploaded here are downscaled to 1080p jpgs using the same Lightroom settings (sRGB, 95% quality).
OK, on with the show!
Really clear air this afternoon, with great views of San Francisco from Burlingame’s waterfront. Sutro, Bay Bridge, Transamerica, and much more were visible thanks to a rain-free afternoon.
ScalziWhat a fragile, spoiled child this man is.

Elon Musk created a special system for showing you all his tweets first
After his Super Bowl tweet did worse numbers than President Biden’s, Twitter’s CEO ordered major changes to the algorithm. Twitter engineers built a system designed to ensure that Musk benefits from previously unheard-of promotion of his tweets to the entire user base.
Hello! I'm Nathan, and this is my #introduction and first post on Mastodon! Born and raised in #siliconvalley, I'm a software engineer/architect/manager.
I'm currently taking some time off between jobs, and I'm enjoying a lot of #photography and #travel. In the last year I have taken 2 road trips, covering about 35 US states and 2 Canadian provinces, and I recently returned from a trip to Europe and North Africa.
Looking forward to reading a lot and learning a lot here from all of you!
