Camera phone competition December 2014:"Music" [Archive] - maemo.org

It's December. I know it's Christmas in most of the world but I wanted to go with something a bit different since I love music.
I wanted to see how you depict music in your photos, is it just a non-important part of your life or do you have a love for it?
This theme can be as wide as possible, from picturing your vinyl or other formats (I'm saving up for turntables and a mixer BTW, not just for DJing also..), you could show some musicians, singers, some notes, it's really up to you to decide and this is again, a pretty wide theme and I think it is really fun to shoot!

The rules:
Photos must be taken during this month.
Photos must be taken by the posting member.
Photos must be taken with a camera phone.
Users can change the entry only once.
Users must name the phone they used.
Last three days of this month are for voting.

So get some old CDs out and listen some music. Or discover new music instead. :D

Really nice theme indeed. I just saw Billy Joel's New York concert last week, if it was a week later I would definitely use picture from that. ;)

Ahh too bad. You have a lot of time though. I must shoot something this month. Music and photography are my two loves.

Can we submit pictures taken with the Galaxy Camera (http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_camera_gc100-4961.php)?

Half-Life_4_Life

2014-12-02, 21:26

Yes you can, you can shoot with any mobile phone which has the sensor and lens build in the phone but things like the Sony QX-100 aren't allowed because it's like I shot a photo on my DSLR while having it connected on my phone..

No one listens to music anymore? I'll see what I can come up with this week. Having said that, I listen to about 2-4h of music each day.

aah had forgotten the topic was music! I was doing karaoke last weekend and could have gotten something out of that...:p

Well, I don't listen to music as much as I used to. But, I've gone ahead and dragged a few of my old favorite CDs out of deep storage, and taken a photo of them. My music tastes are apparently kind of unusual, so you may not have heard of many of these folks...

I've got some CDs and such in the foreground, and my main music player devices in the background. (Sadly, I couldn't find my old Creative Nomad, which was my first MP3 player.)

Edit: this photo was taken with my #2 (development) N900. :)

Nice photo! And a good collection. I can't wait to start working and making money to start buying music and equipment. But I have a lot of time, I'll be playing with music for the rest of my life.
EDIT: I'll just love it when I get a pair of turntables and a mixer, and after a bit I'll start collecting cassettes and CDs as well. Who knows, maybe I even start making music and DJing somewhere... :)

I got myself a Panasonic DMC-CM1, upgraded the mighty 808, does that device count?

Oooh, nice device! :) I would figure that if a phone like the 808 is allowed, then this one probably should be too...

Can you make a call with it?

Half-Life_4_Life

2014-12-22, 18:15

Go right ahead, it's at least somewhat of a phone..
But things like the Sony QX-100 aren't allowed.
Imagine if I'd just connect my DSLR with WIFI to my phone.
It's almost the same thing with the QX-100.

Can you make a call with it?

it seems so.

in off topic I am most curious to learn how you experience the battery life with 2600mAh and combined smartphone + camera usage on the DCM CM1.

I find it easy not to make it through one day of picture taking and reviewing with the 808 and that is without web surfing.

I didn't use it as main phone, only take picture + quick upload. The battery seems OK for me, as long as I keep background process clean. It seems similar to my 808 after same consumption.

Here is my pic of this month. No chance to get to a concert, so I took a picture of my old friend (https://www.martinguitar.com/model/item/189-hd-28v.html) which is about to be 12 years old.

Took from Panasonic CM1, and orginal: https://www.dropbox.com/s/lu5olfv563usqpr/P1020089.JPG?dl=0

Nice photos! roflmaoo, who's that? (DJing, I presume)
Ah, I found it! (http://www.residentadvisor.net/event.aspx?593811) But I still don't know who is behind the decks.
I listened to some of Wen's work and of course, Distance and some others in the dubstep scene but I mainly listen to Kromestar.
Let's talk about music a little. :)
EDIT 2: This festival was in June! You must send a photo from this month roflmaoo...

Sorry for the old photo... The festival is called SUPYNES in english it means swings :) Probably the best electronic music festival in baltic countries and in Lithuania! and behind decks is Overlook an UK darkstep dubstep liquidstep music lover hes very good at those music styles :) In 2015 gonna travel again to listen to some badass music for 3 days! Sorry for my not very good english :(

Festivals with good music are hard to find.
Good that we have things like Outlook, Dimensions etc in Croatia and there are some DJs in Zagreb from time to time as well.

Here are the results. I was busy here with the snow and everything so I'm sorry for being a bit late. It's a shame there are only three entries with one entry being too old. I wanted to participate but the photo didn't have enough to do with music so that's that.

Hi people, sorry for being late, and sorry for setting unclear rules for voting.
I need to organize this competition a bit. It's a bit hard when you are doing all the things on your own (and there aren't a lot of things to be done here) but I just have to keep doing this because it's fun. And I need you to improve this competition, write something in the discussion thread (http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=90925).
Here are the voting results.

1st place - chenliangchen, 8 votes (saponga, foobar, Lucazz990, Akkumaru, panjgoori, pichlo, Copernicus, Sap)
http://talk.maemo.org/attachment.php?attachmentid=36263&stc=1&d=1419348547

2nd place - HtheB, 5 votes (eekkelund, juiceme, briest, n900user259, CepiPerez)

3rd place - Copernicus, 4 votes (Half-Life_4_Life, chenliangchen, nokiabot, valiant29)

The entries were low in number this month but they are far from low in quality! Congrats to chenliangchen to winning again and thank you all for participating, contestants and voters alike.

Thank you!

What's the topic of next competition? "Art", "Alien", "Water", "Time"?

Best wishes.

2015-01-01, 17:01

"Water" has already been used (talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=92267).
Actually, I have not seen any rule about the topic having to be unique, so we may see it again :)

Since New Year is the time when people will be making resolutions, many invariably related to fitness, why don't we do something fitness/exercise related? :)

Happy 2015 to all TMO members and their families!

I was going to say that I was waiting for chenliangchen to answer my PM but it didn't send! If I look in the sent items directory it's just empty. I'm re-sending a PM to chenliangchen now.
I've already sent three PM's to him, I don't know what is happening. I have no sent messages in the sent PM's folder.

2015-01-01, 20:11

There is an option to save sent messages. Make sure you have it ticked.

Received the PM, replied. In China these days, the timezone is +8 so I was a bit late... thank Half-Life_4_Life a lot for organising this. ;)

BTW I chose "Animals" as the next theme.
