Autumn colors in romanian mountains


At the begining of october, for a short period of time which is ussually less than two weeks, the romanian mountains get vibrant fall colors. It's probably the best period for landscape photos. 

The pictures bellow are made during a trip to Piatra Craiului Mountains on 12-13 october.

Capturing the moment by a smartphone camera

Low light photography was always a big challenge for the photographers, it was for years the territory of expensive cameras with large sensors and fast lenses.

But then smartphones had an impressive technological evolution and offered an portable alternative for any type of photography.

I ussually prefere my Olympus camera because I get a very good image quality and flexibility by mounting different lenses. Then is the IS which offers phenomenal performance.

During mai travels, I found very often special moments to be captured. When I did not had the Olympus camera with me, I was happy to find that my mobile can do the job - to capture the moment. I also love the idea of being able to share any moment quickly with my friends.

A phone handles well in day-light. Is it performing well in low light too ? In my opinion yes. 

I will start with a few pictures made by Samsung A5 - an modest smart phone , but still good enough to capture some moments.







Then some photos made by Samsung S6 Edge Plus - a phone with a very good sensor and output:








And finnally a picture made by Samsung S10 - a phone considered top of the class.


For me the phone is not just an emergency photo camera, it became a photo tool which can create nice photos in some conditions.
