Such beautiful pictures here! Very inspiring, thanks everyone.
I haven’t had much success with my photography, and gave up long ago.
Gonna give it a retry with the new modules.

I did a hike on this beautiful autumn day and took the following pictures with my Fairphone 2 and the 8 MP (old) camera. All pictures are taken with OpenCamera and DRO active.
My impression is that DRO is indeed improving the dark areas but sometimes the entire picture looks “too bright”. I will try to do comparisons with and without DRO next time.

(Cause my first close up decided to not use flash and it made a difference in quality IMO)

I guess I used zoom too much and it isn’t optical zoom so its a loss of quality? Correct?
I never made good experience with the “digital” zoom, which in reality is just a reduction of pixels taken. My experience is that the picture appears to be not really in focus. Therefore, I am “zooming” into the picture afterwards on my computer.
When doing a close up, you can select the “macro” function (looks like a flower) in Open Camera. Still you cannot go too close, as the focus is limited. Carefully watch your picture.
Usually when taking a picture, I tap on the object I want to have in focus. I am using “autofocus” not “continuous”. This way my pictures got sharper.
As with any new camera, it is good practice to spend a day outside and try all the various settings to come up to a configuration you really like and feel comfortable with.

Once again a video, made with Fairphone 2, the 8 MP camera, and OpenCamera. No special settings, no edit (thus the video is 200 MB big): https://vimeo.com/247038014 or at my account https://vimeo.com/permondes .
It shows the window of a shopping center in München. Every year before X-mas they put animated Steiff-teddies on show. Really nice and not only the children like watching it.
It’s been made in the evening with nearly no natural light.
