I have just returned home from a short vacation with my wife and will now have to play catch-up with my posts. Because said wife, who is not a photographer, sometimes gets annoyed when I carry my camera around and stop to take photographs I decided that I would leave my camera at home and rely only my phone to take pictures. It is much quicker and less obvious. I felt a little naked without my "real" camera but the phone did ok. For this shot I held the camera flat against our hotel room window and took a shot of our view. The phone automatically went into night mode and this was the result. I'm not exactly sure how it works, but I think it must take several images and blend them. However it works it did a pretty good job of pulling detail from the buildings without blowing out the light in the windows.

This is a great phone shot. You've managed to get some nice photos of downtown Seattle which is where I was born, raised, and still live here. Downtown Seattle has changed greatly over the years and not for the better.
I somehow agree with your wife that it is much easier when you don’t walk around with a heavy camera and few lenses. I had a DSLR for more than 10 years, but I finally sold everything and for the last couple of years I take pictures with my phone only. Well, if I have to be honest I sometimes still miss the camera, but phone photography is so much faster and lighter.
Great night capture!
