Camera phone competition October 2013 "Low Light"
 

Sorry for not being on schedule this month.
For this month we have low light!
Lucazz990 described it like this:
"I thought that a nice (but maybe a bit hard...) theme could be "low light" which doesn't necessary mean night; users may for example capture nice pictures of sunsets, twilights, sunrises or even cool light games in dark places... Isn't it a good idea?"
And I think it is a good idea.
Or you coukd just capture light that is on the floor.Get it?No?Eh...OK :D
Pssssst, if you don't know about light drawing, ckeck it out... ;)


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 should add a link to the original photo with full EXIF data.(very important, name the phone!!)

Have low light fun! :)

Last three days of this month are for voting so be on time.

2 tips for low light :)
- Try pcam by qwazix, with manual settings for iso and exposure you can get really good shots! Download 1.0.4 for harmattan and 1.0.7 for fremantle in the first post of http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php...highlight=Pcam
- If you use the stock camera app in harmattan, playing with brightness and contrast settings in the integrated editor is very helpful to get better colors for example during a sunset... Have a try :) Cheers!

Allright, I'll open the competition with my 1st entry :D

This is titled "Low Life in Low Light"

Taken with a N9, handheld while lying on the ground in pretty dark autnum forest.

Re: Camera phone competition October 2013 "Low Light"
 

Great shot and a well executed idea :)
I still don't have one.

Re: Camera phone competition October 2013 "Low Light"
 

Cool photo!

Just wondering if you changed your N9 to macro mode or left it at automatic?

Re: Camera phone competition October 2013 "Low Light"
 

It was on automatic. N9 has surprisingly good camera HW :)

Re: Camera phone competition October 2013 "Low Light"
 

I am bumping this again
Less than two weeks to go, remember.

I'm still looking for the perfect pic :) but already got some... :D

Re: Camera phone competition October 2013 "Low Light"
 

I have to fix my N900 and try out rawcam :)

Re: Camera phone competition October 2013 "Low Light"
 

This is good for me because I will have to process fewer photos but it is not good for the competition.
Cmon, you have a lot of low light situations around you!
I will upload my photo when I get home.
Which is soon.
Good luck!

Re: Camera phone competition October 2013 "Low Light"
 

This was actually a test in night (evening, rather, ~half an hour after sunset) camera performance, but I somehow like it. N9, stock camera app in night mode, unmodified.

And hi to all, as this is my first post, still getting to know my "new" N9.

Re: Camera phone competition October 2013 "Low Light"
 

Nice composition, "Nightly" feeling... Nice :)

Re: Camera phone competition October 2013 "Low Light"
 

Here is my low light.
And it is deep too. :D

as evening falls over Brussels market: are they happy? 1/8 s / 400 ISO is hardly pushing the 808? :cool:

Where to drop the original for pixel and exif peeping?

You could sign up to Flickr, it has a nice interface, a free terabyte and a lot of users.

Re: Camera phone competition October 2013 "Low Light"
 

Taken a couple of months back, using raw cam. Hence the image doesn't qualify for the competition :D Still posting...

Re: Camera phone competition October 2013 "Low Light"
 

How can I compete with entries like that? Clearly I took the "low light" part too seriously.

Anyway, here is my entry. My daughter in a 3D cinema. In total darkness, only barely illuminated by the screen (showing trailers at the time so no risk of copyright infringement; I put the phone back in the pocket by the time the movie started :)). Taken on Sun 20 October with my N900 which was clearly struggling in such low light. Downsized on the phone to avoid downsizing by the TMO uploader (and discovered a "feature" in the process that might throw a spanner in the whole "check the EXIF" idea :)).

Re: Camera phone competition October 2013 "Low Light"
 

any camera phone can be used or only n9 & n900?

Re: Camera phone competition October 2013 "Low Light"

Here is the link to the full size image, there are no exif data due to pcam, but trust me it was shot on 4th october 2013 :)

Re: Camera phone competition October 2013 "Low Light"

Re: Camera phone competition October 2013 "Low Light"
 

Here is my take. rawcam with manual focus on the N9.
