Green Anaconda, nice, I use to have a Ball Python and Boa Constrictor, I haven’t got the room or experience for a green ;)
First close up eye pics, now snakes. 😳🤦‍♂️

I’m out of here. 😂
 
Set the timer to 10 seconds, hit the shutter release, set the phone down facing up:

My parents' cat looking particularly photogenic with Portrait mode:

Some stills from last night's Alanis Morissette concert (it seemed to take better images as stills-while-taking-video than in true still mode in the high-contrast lighting. You can tell the stills-during-video because they're 16x9 instead of the 4x3, most of the 4x3 it just couldn't handle the harsh lighting well enough.)

That’s my male. I have a larger female as well, but she doesn’t like humans, can be hard to get a pic of her at times, and she was way in the back of her cage when I tried yesterday. This is a previous pic of her, taken with a 12 pro max

I've spent my first full weekend with my iPhone 13, coming from an iPhone XR.

Some thoughts:
  • Night mode on the front facing and normal cameras is insane. Comparing a selfie taken on the XR versus the 13 Pro in a dimly lit room is nuts. Still grainy, and you can see the noise when you zoom in - but in comparison to what the XR could achieve, it's night-and-day... ;)
  • Portrait Mode x3 telephoto seems to be having a really hard time with people. I am find that it is working better with objects compared to people. I'm finding that portraits of people taken with the x3 telephoto have a tendency to "push out" the main person in the photo, add a halo of light behind them and sometimes make it look like they're Photoshopped in. This is not the case when I use the x1 standard wide camera.
  • Cinematic Mode is a fun gimmick. I'm using it a lot with my newborn. It's far from perfect, and sometimes I edit the video after to remove all the bokeh as the processing went poorly and cut around the object of the video oddly.
  • An ultra wide lense is a really cool new tool for me (again - coming from a single lense XR here!). I find myself using it maybe 75% of the time now. The new perspective for my photos is really fun to play with.
  • I haven't played with photographic styles yet. Most of my photos are of my newborn & wife and I plan to print them in the future, so I'll save messing with hardcoded styles till I'm photographic landscapes or something.
  • Macro mode is such a fun feature. Again, another cool new tool. I've been using it with insects, flowers, my daughter's newborn finger nails etc. Similar to the ultrawide, interesting new perspectives to play with.
 
Is your setting to shoot in raw ? Heif or standard
Here's another screenshot of viewfinder vs. actual photograph....see how much auto-processing is done to it? The grain in the wood is much more sharpened than any edit I'd typically apply, and darker too. Everything seems to be filtered through some high contrast layer, something I never experienced with my iPhone X. And this isn't even using the "Rich Contrast Style" Photographic Style.

Go to photos settings , not camera settings and UNCHECK view full HDR
then try again
