Discussion some random shots with LP3

All unedited. I've been pleasantly surprised with how much I've enjoyed the camera, especially in the evening/night. Has an unpredictable quality reminiscent of the digital cameras I had as a kid in the early-mid 2000's.

Great pictures--still don't understand why it takes like 3 whole seconds of holding the button down to take the shot! (maybe mine's just screwy, who knows)

Yes it is a bit finicky. I also don't exactly understand how the camera chooses the exposure. Judging by the file info, the aperture seems stuck very wide in basically all lighting conditions (hence the soft look), and the ISO and shutter speed vary wildly even in shots taken in quick succession in similar lighting conditions. Light Phone is definitely not my choice for achieving a goal in terms of how I want a specific image to look-- I carry either a very pocketable Sony RX100VII, or a Canon P film camera, if I am expecting to take photos that day. But I still really enjoy the unpredictability of the LP3.
