Phone camera shenanigans
The phone camera color correction shenanigans comes up often here so I figured you all might appreciate a good example. I was trying to take pics of my lip tint earlier today and forgot to switch modes and set the white balance.
Same room with a slight shift in angle. Top pic is my phone behaving badly and trying to make me peachy (and my gray dining room wall looks taupe/beige). Bottom pic is much closer to my actual tone but phone zeroed in on my subtle green oliveness and muted my skin. I wish I had a proper white balanced photo for comparison.
Just wanted to post this here as an example of how misleading phone pics can be. I'm actually quite clear and cool but if I posted these without context I would be surprised if the consensus was this person is cool and leaning clear/bright.
