Recently I got a new phone. the Huawei P30 Pro. I've heard people saying that once they started using this phone they put away their big DSLRs and never looked back. So I have been taking pictures with the phone to see if the hype lives up to all that.
With that in mind I have learned a few things about this phone. Yes, it takes crazy good pictures, but it only takes them at 40mp and in RAW format if you keep things at the default focal length. If you try to zoom or go wide angle (like I did with these shots) it automatically switches to 10mp and jpg format.
Not quite what I wanted but it's good to know that because I will make more of an effort to try and get RAW shots. One thing worth noting as well is that the RAW image file size for on this phone is 80mb! per photo!
Anyway, this magnificent building is McEwan Hall, one of the oldest and most ostentatious lecture halls in the whole university. This is the place where everyone graduates. I graduated in this building. Recently a huge refurbishment was completed on this building and I haven't been in the building since that happened, until a week ago when I took these shots.
The building itself was gifted to the university in 1897, by William McEwan, a local politician and brewer. The brewery is near the centre of town and often at night I can smell the place. I don't think its a particularly nice smell, but some people do like it. For info, it doesn't smell like beer, it smells like burnt hops and farts. Anyway, the building at the time cost £115,000 to build which is roughly £15 million in today's money. If they sold the building it would go for a hell of a lot more than that..
The quality of the photos this phone produces are pretty good, unfortunately resizing the images for steemit it has downsampled them a bit and they don't look as sharp anymore. I am sure I can fix that the next time I post images from my phone. Using it is still a little bit of a learning curve as I get used to how the phone behaves.
Thanks for Looking.
