his waterfall scene in the Scottish Highlands had everything going on harsh sunlight, deep shadows, and tons of texture but the Pixel 4a absolutely nailed it. The way it handled the dynamic range is seriously impressive. You can see detail in the dark rocks, the bright sky isn't blown out, and the water looks so alive.
I didn’t use any heavy editing, just a few light adjustments. It's crazy how a phone this compact and affordable can deliver results like this.
Even in 2025, this little device still holds its own proof that you don’t always need the latest flagship to capture epic scenes like this.

A peaceful wander into Edinburgh’s layered past…
Duddingston Kirk, founded c.1124 by the Norman knight Dodin, is one of Scotland’s oldest parish churches still in regular use. Built on land granted to Kelso Abbey by King David I, the kirk stands proudly on an east–west axis with striking Scoto-Norman stonework — including its distinctive round-topped doorway. The Prestonfield Aisle, added in 1631, gave the church its northern vaults and gallery.
Not to be missed: the atmospheric gatehouse built in the 19th century to ward off Edinburgh’s infamous bodysnatchers. In the age of Burke and Hare, even the dead weren’t safe from enterprising “resurrectionists.”
Beside the kirk lies Duddingston Loch — now a peaceful bird sanctuary, but once the scene of ritual Bronze Age weapon burials. This watery repository gave up its secrets in 1778, and the resulting hoard is now held in the National Museum of Scotland.
The loch also lives in the national imagination as the setting of Henry Raeburn’s The Skating Minister — a frozen snapshot of Enlightenment-era elegance.
