I took this photo at the Copenhagen zoo in October. Please send me your opinions :)

I accidentally held down the photoshoot button on my phone and ended up with a sequence of photos of the same scene taken over about 1 second. Interestingly the series of photos contains two very different styles of image:

The first photo looks how I'd expect. Sky is overblown from the clouds and foreground of the forest is dark.

The second photo has somehow magically made the sky darker and the foreground brighter.

At a guess I think a software algorithm is trying to separate the foreground and background, then individual levels adjustments are being applied to each region. Checkout these two close-up crops:

The first photo shows what I'd normally expect from a camera (bright light bleeding into the trunk), the second shows a white halo around the trunk on the sky (probably artificial/software blending from foreground to background). I think I can also see see some evidence of artificial sharpening on the trunk texture; or perhaps the photo was just better in focus (some of the photos were a bit blurrier than others).

I'm using a Pixel 3 with OpenCamera.

Does anybody know what this feature is called and more info about it? I'm particular interested in how binary it is -- it's either activated or not -- some some heuristic must be involved.

Taken as a test for a small series of prepared insects. Unfortunately the sample was a bit squished so it looks a bit less "clean" or "aesthetic" but I got close to what I want to achieve.

Might have as much as $1600, but the more saved the better. Also need a lens.

Sony A7r - $434 (well used condition) Sony A7r II - $949 (like new condition) Sony A7r III - $1299 (excellent condition)

Looking at mpb.com. Are the features and improvements worth it for each iteration?

I enjoy urban/street night photography, urban decay, landscapes, and want to get in to portraiture.

EDIT: I have also, and would still include the Panasonic LUMIX S5, and the Fujifilm X-T5.

A pair of pūteketekes, or Australasian crested grebes, on Lake Alexandrina in New Zealand, where they were this week crowned the country’s bird of the century. Voters were won over by its bizarre mating dance, its beautiful plumage and its engaging habit of frequent vomiting.
