This isn’t my first Featured Image of this sign—and certainly not at night. But this one is the first using Samsung’s Expert RAW app on Galaxy S23 Ultra. Results do surprise, because I didn’t expect this much character or clarity from a smartphone’s small sensor.
I chose 50 megapixels and let S23 pick the settings. They’re easily adjustable, and I will do so on another day’s test run. Vitals: f/1/7, ISO 1600, 1/25 sec, 23mm (film equivalent); 8:39 p.m. PDT, tonight.
Wow. Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 6.4 even loads a Samsung Expert RAW profile for post-processing, which I used. Lovely.
The sign is located along El Cajon, between Georgia and Florida, in San Diego neighborhood University Heights.
