I have a folder on my desktop named "Photos From My Phone"
and thought other sb 'ers might want to put some up, as I am always amazed when
I down load my pics from my phone to my PC how good they are for a phone photo

nice beaches over in WA, not sure about those gnomes though, can everyone post a photo of their gnomes.

What sort of phone is it?

My wife has an iPhone 4 and it takes pretty good photos. I have a cheapo Huwai Android phone and it take woeful photos.


On the other hand she pays $60 a month for her plan and phone and I bought the phone for about $100 and pay $7 a month for my plan.

Glad you bought it up Dale, except I thought it was a budgie he was strangling!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I thought he had kicked the other gnome in the balls and was raping his budgie.

My Samsung Galaxy S2, with 8MP camera is suprisingly good. It was our camera for a trip through Europe:
Needs no introduction -

That's great quality. I am impressed. I might have to start using mine instead.

We also used it in NT - Kakadu etc - as a videorecorder. The full HD video is so crisp with amazing colours. Just a shame they don't have zooms!

Sorry yes it's a Samsung Galaxy S2....mind you I recon you lose some of the impact
when you make the photo smaller

Winter Sunset - 1 July 2012 - Scarborough Beach, WA
Maybe not the awesome pinks and oranges of summer, but add a few beers and its a great way to finish your day...

You've got me reminiscing (and it's Friday arvo)! Same trip - Notre Dame and Annecy (amazing place and meant to be windy in the summer)

Father's Day mini concert:


The *problem with camera phones (especially) is that a lot of people experience so many great things in life through their viewfinder.

At least with the above example it will get sent to nanny or whatever. But, I was at the aquarium the other day and it was hard to see the fish for all the people with camera phones, iPads and especially SLRs with external flash units getting in the way while they lined it all up. I'm not sure that some of them even saw anything with their own eyes. Who wants to see these photos, really? It's a fish. Steal the photos off the web and say you took them. What's the diff?

Schools need to organise a designated parent to film any concerts who can share via interwebs.

(Do I have to blur out all the faces above or is this a normal country?)

wow wow wow...just stunning BenKirk...

and yes evlPanda have always been very aware to look, breath and enjoy the moment..
as presents I love and like to give a helicopter flight,
but alas never allow them to take a camera with them...

Does anyone ever want to watch someone else's huge amount of holiday film/photos/slides? Unless they are really special, anything more than a few, and it becomes hard to be enthusiastic.

I went on a Contiki tour years ago and one guy was always filming stuff and sort of missing out on a lot.

I can just picture his parents/friends/innocent bystanders... I think they would have lasted all of 3 minutes before they found excuses to leave. Well they would have if they were me

Not particularly good quality, just want to show off the view from my new office in Vancouver.



It's not really visible in the shot, but I've marked where I can see Lion's Gate bridge in between Stanley Park and North Vancouver.

Much better at looking at a fibro fence and a bit of the next door office's wall like I was in Perth.

I use my iphone quite a bit for pics

here is one that i took using a great app called PROHDR - it takes 2 images at 2 exposres and intelligently stitches them together to optimally expose both the sky and the shadows

you get a look to your pics approaching a canon 5d mkII - its one of the most used apps on my phone.

You have to use a tripod or rail / super steady hand held to get the best results



the best camera you can have is the one on you!

have to agree on the pub pics use though
