Rajan,
Did you have to do any editing afterward? I'm surprised how these pictures have very little "digital glare". Most night shots are heavily processed from smart phones and look very inorganic.
Sean,
The photos were shot in AppleRAW. The dng file was exported into Photoshop where it opens in the Adobe RAW window. Basic adjustments were made there and the file then placed into Photoshop. Then the Topaz Photo AI plugin was called where I accepted the auto-corrections it made (mostly noise mitigation).
This is a definite advance in imaging technology and with further developments in the next couple of years I expect the image quality gap between ILC bodies and smartphones to narrow to a point where even the pixel-peeper will be challenged. Right now I wouldn't hesitate to carry just the iPhone for street work and for work around people in situations like the above.
