I'm starting to realize my favorite aspect of the camera system is the HDR video. I didn't anticipate how much better HDR videos would look vs. non-HDR, in particular when played back on the phone or mini-LED display.

Standard RAW is so much better than ProRAW for many cases except when you need the effects of Apple's HDR. ProRAW is really just Apple HEICs with more editing headroom, it's not a true replacement for standard RAW in my experience (I guess others have come to this conclusion too). Apple's HEIC and ProRAW photos often wash out colors and add all that weird glowing oil painting effect which I find truly disgusting. Not a fan of that but I understand it's the tradeoff for getting usable photos 99/100 times you press the shutter button. Meanwhile true RAW photos keep all the details, rich colors, pleasant contrast, and natural grain intact.

This photo is Halide RAW + Pixelmator Pro, without a doubt my favorite way to take photos. No other camera has the same ratio of convenience to quality. The iPhone truly is unbeatable as a package for photos and videos.

I've been playing around with ProRes capture and whilst it's not a big of a difference between non-HDR and HDR footage there is certainly a difference in detail and color. I can see myself using it more for edited videos that I *really* want to appreciate for years to come or for something I want to publish.

I guess what I'm really trying to say is I think I'll need the 1TB 14 Pro Max this year because those files are GIANT smh o_O

WTF!!! ? $11.90 AUD for Takis chips ?‍♂️

First and last time trying these chips.

Sourness isn’t normal, my tongue is still numb from how sour they are. ?‍♂️
