If you look really closely at the top left of the first photo you can see where the second photo was taken.

Stunning view while waiting for the train after the Sydney Marathon. Just ignore the rubbish bin.
Segrada Família is a solid 10/10.

I was lucky enough to be able to take my camera up in a helicopter around Sydney, and accidentally took this really nice pair of photos. The camera started tracking focus of the rain on the windscreen and I happened to snap an out-of-focus opera house in the background, with some nice colour in the harbour.
Both taken with a polarising filter to cut down on reflections and get more vivid colour in the water.
The trick to getting empty streets is to go walking during the rain while sensible people are inside.
The ultra wide is actually quite nice sometimes!
The weather at Montserrat today was absolutely terrible, walked up to the Sant Jeroni peak despite the clouds restricting visibility to like 50 metres. However, just below the clouds there was some sun sneaking through which made for some beautiful shots across to the monastery and down to the lower hills.
Presets proving themselves to work on photos of things that aren’t buildings.
At this point I’m so happy with my little preset that taking nice phone photos is like shooting fish in a barrel.
Point phone at nice building. Apply preset. Ta daa!
The other trick with these overcast photos is to use the automatic sky selection in Photomator to create a second set of adjustments and add more texture and clarity to the clouds, as well as dropping the exposure slightly. This gives you a much more distinctive sky, without turning the rest of the photo into an over-contrasted mess.
I’ve been pleasantly surprised about how good the ML sky detection is, I’m always worried that I’ll end up with a garish border. Not sure if this is just because I’m taking pictures of buildings with well-defined edges, or because I’m just looking at these on a little phone screen.
