   @tomjennings Auto exposure will always try to make the bulk of the image medium brightness. This is usually what you want, which is why cameras do it. If you do not want this, dial in some exposure compensation. Dunno about android but in iOS you do it by swiping up or down after doing long press for focus and exposure lock.

     We're having our first apocalypse of the year in our neighborhood. It's 9am and dark. The plumber scheduled for an hour from now called to ask if it's safe here (yes).

     As I was typing photo description it occurred to me that the way the phone normalized the image -- I'm telling ya it's fkn dark as shit here, with occasional ash dropping -- the phone has made it look like a cloudy day. It's like corporate "two sides" politics. Camera: I know what sky looks like, I'll adjust photo for that.
