I took this photo at 00:11 on 23 January 2012 with my smartphone at the time, a Galaxy S2 - and I’m still amazed by the quality of the final result.

But looking at it again brings back all sorts of feelings: peace, turmoil, serenity, worry, relaxation and anxiety. Solitude and a sense of freedom.
This photo is part of a me that no longer exists - or maybe one that is just quietly sleeping somewhere inside me.

@stefano When I read the first part oft your message and look at the picture at the same time, I only have negative feelings. Loneliness, fear, feeling lost.

@ColonelKramer You have great insight. You understood that photo, that message, and that period very well - much more than I'm willing to admit, even to this day.

I feel like smartphone cameras used to be better. Now, when they try to cram as much megapixels as possible into the sensor, the quality actually suffers. Too many pixels in a small sensor create more noise into the image and then it has to be denoised by the software and it's all a huge mess. But people have this idea that the quality of the camera is directly connected to the number of pixels. I wish we could get over this appetite for more megapixels. 8-12 mpix is more than enough.

@Tiikuri I agree, in specific situations old smartphone cameras could show better results. Maybe now we have too much computational photography so they're not real photos anymore: they're computational creations based on the photo we're grabbing.
Luckily, we have the RAW mode.
