LG G4 a photographers phone?"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>After a few years left in the smartphone backwoods using an aging HTC evo 3D I decided it was time for a new phone.&nbsp; Its been a self imposed exile after taking tens of thousands of cell phone pictures I largely gave it up in favour of shooting more film.&nbsp; Well a lot has transpired in the intervening years as far as cell phone image capture and its reached a sweet spot of quality and features.&nbsp; That&#8217;s what brings me to this point writing this post on the phone that I also took the following images with.&nbsp;&nbsp; I haven&#8217;t exported any images to a computer yet but so far on the phone they look good.&nbsp; The G4 ended up being my pick because of its RAW capture and manual settings as well as the image stabilized f1.8 lens.&nbsp; I didn&#8217;t only want the manual overrides for image making but as a quasi lightmeter for my old film cameras, yes i know there are apps for that.&nbsp; In the future I will go into more detail for now I&#8217;m just learning its capabilities and shortcomings.&nbsp; These images were captured in RAW and processed with Snapseed but are only small representations of the larger files.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"frame-outer  alignnone size-full\"><span><span><span><span><a
