Picture a Day: Nov 18

My cat Sprite, 2022, taken with a Google Pixel 6 Pro

It just happened to be that the picture I chose for today is another picture taken with a phone from the Google Pixel line. My edit somewhat corrected the HDR-ness of the original photo, but that wasn't originally my intention; it was a side effect, even though I've been on record for greatly disliking the over-HDR-ing of most photos taken with Pixel phones (and newer iPhones, for that matter). Having shadows and contrast isn't always bad. I wish phone manufacturers would reverse course on this often unrealistic lighting, but it's unlikely, especially as they incorporate AI features to make photos even more unrealistic. 😐
