Following that adage I looked for a phone with a good camera this time around. The OnePlus5 has an excellent camera as far as hardware goes, but the software still has some catching up to do. Fortunately OnePlus seem committed to regular updates.
Walking home on Dec 23rd, one of the darkest days of the year, I took a post-sunset shot of the Grand River thinking it wouldn't come out at all. Not too bad for a very low light shot. Similarly the multi-shot night time hockey gif taken on winter solstice in full darkness.
The photo of my lovely wife and her colleagues singing was also taken in a dark room. It was post processed in Paper Artist, my favourite on-phone photo editing app.
