I'm by no means an expert, but if you take your phone and flip it upside down (so the lens is toward the road in the church with the bike shot), you can get even lower more easily. I love your videos. I'm working my way through your catalog since I found you a few weeks ago. :)

I had the privilege of taking some photos of a friends Harley Davidson the other day Mike! Beautiful bike. Chrome everywhere! It actually looked quite like an old Indian in design. I was quite pleased with the photos too. I just hope the owner of the bike liked them too!

im just at the part where youre having trouble getting a pic of the church..Just a heads up in case you didnt know, you can turn your camera upside down which puts the lens at the bottom closer to the ground. THEN looking up like that is a bit easier..THEN you can rotate the image later.

I have a top end Galaxy phone, but still consider the photos to be no more than snapshots. Even in raw, the tiny phone camera sensor just isn't up to the job in my opinion. For travel, I use a pocketable Canon G7X, which does a fine job. A nice journey to a lovely part of France though 😁😁

I also have a top end Galaxy phone and wholeheartedly agree with you. Top of the line Sony phones are a lot closer to a regular camera and it is something to consider on your next upgrade, as they are the only game in town that does not go heavy handed into computational photography.

Another enjoyable biker video Mike :) My top tip for iPhone photography is to ditch Apple's stock 'Camera' app and use the camera that's part of the Lightroom Mobile app. It gives you much more specific control over exposure, shutter speed, ISO etc, and also it has a built-in digital spirit level which makes those low-down tilted shots much easier to frame up. In addition, it doesn't do quite as much of that HDR processing that the Camera app does, and lets you shoot in DNG rather than just JPG/HEIC format ...

I'll always hate taking pictures with my phone. Its 48 mp sensor doesn't change the awful ergonomics. For me it will always remain just an emergency camera for the few occasions when I for some obscure reason didn't bring a "real" camera. Still, thanks for the tips: Since I rarely use it, I had no idea how easy it is to change the exposure. I'm a bit envious of your bike trip. But I don't even have a licence to ride one. About 40 years ago I'd saved up some money for a license, but the taxman took it. And, well, I tend to bring too much gear anyway, so I really need a car. And being as old as I am (I think I'm several months older than you), it's too late anyway. I'd probably just kill or cripple myself if I ever got up on such a thing.

Yes the ergonoics of a phone are pretty bad. But there are tomes when they are super useful. I was down by the sea about to leave for home after running a workshop when some big black storm clouds suddenly parted and a shaft of light came in under them. Didn't have time to unpack the camera again but the phone saved the day - even though the quality isn't great, some image is better than no image... ... MIKE🙏😊

This was a very enjoyable video, with the photos that you took, and the beautiful scenery that you passed. However, I have one nitpick, using pinch to zoom on your phone can drastically affect the final resolution of the photo. I've read that, if you use the crop function in your favourite editing app, instead, there is much less impact on the resolution of the final, cropped image.
