The situations one should avoid most of all with camera phones are low light scenes, and clearly, night photography is one of the most difficult of these. As we were wandering through Cannes around ten past eleven last night, I saw the lovely way Le Suquet was lit, and so I just had to try. What this sort of thing typically produces is a sea of noise. This is what we used to call “grain” when we were using film, and while it may have been desirable back then, in digital photography it is definitely frowned upon: grain is acceptable, noise is bad. Ten minutes worth of post-processing fixed most, if not all issues, and while my Nikon would definitely have been preferable for this sort of exercise, I was pleased to see that the iPhone did well enough for a blog entry.
