Naxos Hotel Ruins
🕑 Added 2024-02-14 11:10:50 +0000 UTCI promised this set a while ago π. These old ruins were in the most ideallic location which we accessed via the quad bike we had.
As I may have said in the preview post, I'd forgotten my camera card so these had to be shot on a phone, but I like them anyway.
Here's a daggy little video from that area...

The addition of the right amount of grain in highlights, midtones and shadows helps them look more βrealβ.

Cheers Ingo π yea phones are usually disregarded as βnot real camerasβ but I doubt thereβs much difference - itβs all digital anyway. You can βfeelβ the difference in the files when you edit them though, they donβt have anywhere near the latitude of a βproperβ camera and require more careful editing. Hope you guys are well?

Wow. Most of these shots don't say "taken-on-a-phone" at all. Especially the landscape one of Aurora in front of the stairs looks very "real" for me --- I really like your editing on this whole series.
