Julia I love Pacific Red Hawk! If your phone is an iPhone (I think it is) you tap the screen and it changes the auto settings to allow more or less light, you just have to play with it. Mine has like 4 settings so you just keep tapping the screen and look at what/how the image changes. Once you get used to your phone's camera, I think you'll like it!
I have found that the colors don't seem to be as vibrant as my camera, but the images are far clearer
Snarfie - love your semp! It really is bright!
