I have a concern with the new camera software, let me know if anyone else has had this issue:

Whenever I take a photo with the 13 Pro in low light, even if Night Mode is off, the phone automatically applies a post-processing adjustment to the image in the Photos app, making it brighter. As far as I can tell, there's no way to undo this and in some cases the photo winds up completely blown out with brightness. I took photo after photo in a dimly lit bar this weekend, intentionally underexposing, but when opening them in Photos it looks right for a second and then *boom* the brightness is adjusted. Attached is a screen recording showing what I'm talking about, although in many cases the result is much. much brighter. Please let me know if there's some way to avoid this, because not giving the photographer complete control of the result is not a very "Pro" feature, in my opinion.

It’s correcting overblown highlights. If you want overblown highlights use raw

This is an amazing photo. The way the light hits the tree on the right and the building's intricate shapes just left of it... The 12 would have over brightened the scene and ruined the sense of depth both in the overall photo but particularly on the buildings' shapes.
Thanks! I like how it turned out too. To be fair, it was shot as an HDR RAW in Lightroom, which consistently produces much better results than the stock camera app ?

I’m going to have so much fun playing with this macro lens!

These are straight from the phone this afternoon.

The first two pics are of the tiny flowers that fall on my car by the hundreds (thanks, neighbors!). Turns out, it looks like some sort of deep sea creature
