Along with todays ‘Featured Image of the Day’ I took a dozen photographs on my Nokia Lumia 800 mobile phone when I visited Media City in Salford for a day out. I got home and downloaded the images onto my computer and quickly edited them. I over did the de noising using Topaz software and they have a smeared look about them.
Now, two things about these images.
1. I enjoyed taking them as I walked along the quayside.
2. I enjoyed the editing process, I always do, but they are not the best edited images I have done, but because I wanted to post them tonight before I went back to work tomorrow (way too tired to do them after work!) I posted one for the featured image of the day and it was really about the images rather than the quality.
and 3. (thought of something else) I am a little frustrated with the limitations of using a camera phone all the time because when I want a good quality image for reproducing in print the resolution isn’t good enough and it takes lots of work. I long for my DSLR back for those shots I want to hang on my wall.
Overall, the camera phone is great but I did research getting a bridge camera for better resolution, it turns out however, they use the same size sensor as my phone and nothing would be gained (a Jessops member of staff showed me a chart with sensor sizes).
