I don’t showcase Google Pixel 10 Pro XL often enough. That demands remedy. So, tonight, I took the smartphone out onto one of the streets here in my San Diego neighborhood of University Heights for a quick go: Four shots of various compositions, and the first is the Featured Image. One capture could have been enough.
Vitals: f/1.7, ISO 34, 1/13 sec, 24mm (film equivalent); 8:01 p.m. PST. I had to hold the phone high over my head (look at the shadow), which risked camera shake blur. But the photo—automatically captured in Night Sight mode—is sharp enough.
I kept this test simple for you: All auto, no adjustments, and composed as shot. But I must ask: Is some artificial intelligence wizardry at work? Because the photo presents much more ambience and mood than does the eye. The image is straight from the phone; no edits, although I was tempted to make some.
