As well as shooting the eclipse using the OM System OM-1, I wanted to see how a smart phone would handle it. And it came out a lot better than I thought it would.

📍 Elizabeth Tower, aka Big Ben • London • UK.
📷 Leitzphone by Xiaomi • K&F ND1000 filter.
⏱️ ISO 320 • 1/335 • f/2.96.

@Howard@mstdn.wherehowardgoes.com That came out great! The lens flare effect looks pretty cool as well. Was that intentional or just how the light happened to react with the camera?

I'm not sure that it does the phone justice though. The picture of Big Ben was so impressive because the phone picked up such fine detail whereas this is mostly just a silhouette (though there is a lot of detail along the edges) but I feel it doesn't give the phone a chance to flex its muscle.

As a photo however, it's excellent! 👍
