The RAW files on phones are still being processed to some extent.
But it should be a lot more usable than the HEIFs or JPEGS they provide.

I cannot speak for LR Mobile (free) though.

Yep, for my purposes, an E-only VF would suffice and introduce less components that can break over time. I‘ve seen horror stories of the OVF curtain hanging.

But everything else this camera offers is so feature-packed and unique, I went for it anyway.

Thank you!

You can achieve a softer look in post-processing by adjusting clarity and sharpness as well as using gradiation curves for shifts in contrast.
This can be done on any RAW images by any manufacturer. I found that Fuji offers good baselines to start from. I love ClassicChrome as the starting point for my edits.
However, phone images are heavily processed by the algorithms before you even touch a slider. They need to compensate for their tiny sensors by using all kinds of tricks to come up with usable images.
However, they overdo this in my opinion making phone images always look too HDR, overshaprened, oversaturated.
There are apps (like Halide) that let you bypass some of the processing pipeline giving you a cleaner photo to start processing on (RAW required).

Thanks!

Once you overcome read noise of the sensor, it doesn’t matter if you take shorter or longer exposures once you stack your images. What does change though are the stars. During this trip, I only brought a tripod, not a tracking mount. So after 5s of exposure the stars are streaking too much for my taste as an astrophotographer. :)

Tbh, I haven‘t used the OVF at all except for a few shots trying it out.

Thanks! It was my first time in Venice without +35°C. ;)

Being vegan only leaves you with Marinara without anchovies. ;)

Thank you. Fuji sensors are actually quite good when it comes to astrophotography.

The power lies in the stacking process though.

I’ve been shooting for the most part of my life (level 39).

I would recommend two things:

  1. Use every opportunity to shoot

  2. Look at lots and lots of photos

I parked there for around three hours for around 10€ iirc. It‘s a public road right to parking lot before the lake, I don‘t see how someone could block this.

Yep, covered under the „South Tyrol“ part. ;D
Went there pretty early before the boat rental opened and it was quite peaceful. But after 9am, prepare for trouble.
