The 'supposed' was for the image, not Honami

With the full res image things are much easier to judge.

I see similar but worser graininess as compared to the 1020 - both seem to have embraced the philosophy of sharpness over low noise, which is a very clever thing to do at good-light conditions.

There is a bit of smearing at the pixel level - very likely to be the photographers fault, considering he was sitting on the saddle.


Short verdict : Very likely to be better than every cameraphone out there with the exception of the 808 and 1020. Sony needs to improve the de-noising algos a bit though. The current one looks too aggressive.

Do you have any low light samples' link ?

PS: DO NOT use a PC resized image for comparison. Either the full res or the the processed output from the phone

^ Really liked the butterfly and the waterdrop images
The drop in particular must have taken a LOT of effort...

@pranav0091 thank you! Yeah, It took a lot of time to get that...the drop was'nt exactly what i've expected..the only thing water drop photography is fun because, the more mistakes you make,the more creative the result will be..isn't it?

@Anish The first pic and the rose are good! Others would be better if they are'nt blurry, not so steady hands?

Agree

Its not lack of steady hands as much as it is the very aggressive framing/cropping. I get a feeling Anish was pushing the limits of the minimum focus distance and consequently the ISO/Shutter speed to its limits atleast in a couple of those images. Just my two cents

Agreed. I tried to get as close as possible to take the macros how ever, the rose is at a distant of some 10 foot from the lens. Others are macro mode pictures. I had to keepup with my fam in that flowers garden, so i was in a bit hurry. Next time i ll try a *very* steady hands

@axel the water drop pic is really good.

 

[axelzdly1]

@abhidev thanks man!

 

[izzikio_rage]

@axel : the drop pic is absolutely brilliant, the bokeh the lighting the reflections, everything is just spot on. Amazing stuff

have been travelling over the past few weeks here will try to post some from the trip. Here's one from Shimla

[axelzdly1]

@izzikio_rage Thank you Amlan! btw, how often do you use 500px..?

 

[sujoyp]

@axelzdly ur roar, innocence and drop pics are nice...drop pic is actually brilliant

@anish you need to learn and practice more...framing is correct just like u said u went too close and shots got blurry

@amlan those tubelights ....I just cant decide to like or dislike the pic...while the pic looks soo creative but technically it have many faults

 

[ashs1]

wow..i accidentally bumped into this thread..all these pics are amazing !!!!

loved this one in particular :

*farm8.staticflickr.com/7313/9515976095_1379ab42a2_z.jpg

i guess most pics in this thread are from digicams & DSLRs..
I wonder if the above drop effect could be captured using my Xperia L


Gr8 pics !!!

 

[axelzdly1]

@sujoyp @ashs1 Thank you guys!

@ashs1 Try this thread..Mobile point&shoot camera photography

 

[lm2k]

@Tenida - liked both of your landscape shots,
@sujoyp - last of your flower shot is nice also i liked the "Beautiful place".
@pranav0091 - the pic spider is awesome, also i think there is some potential in the pic bicycle showing lite trails , may be some angle or change in perspective .
@axelzdly1 - i liked the butterfly pic and the shot of the drop is really awesome, how did u get the red background?

@izzikio_rage Thank you Amlan! btw, how often do you use 500px..?

Not a lot, I have been uploading stuff there but somehow the feedback is not as good as on flickr..... people just come say stuff like "brilliant shot V+F, please see my work and appreciate it" .... so not liking it that much. But the pics there are amazing, I just keep browsing with my jaw on the floor as a pool of drool collects on the table in front of me

@amlan those tubelights ....I just cant decide to like or dislike the pic...while the pic looks soo creative but technically it have many faults

Please advise, I clicked a lot of pics on this trip, but now that I sit down with them I'm not that happy with most of them. What do you think I should've done better in this?

 

[Gen.Libeb]

@axelzdly1 - Great photos , specially the water drop. What camera ?
@izzikio_rage - Nice Photo, I like your photos, you got a unique style.

 

[Anish]

@anish you need to learn and practice more...framing is correct just like u said u went too close and shots got blurry

Yeah, thanks. I'm just practising manual modes

 

[axelzdly1]

@lm2k Haha...it was a gift wrapper foil..Thanks to my inbuilt flash., the BG is looking good
I really need to buy an external flash to push the freezing limit above 1/200th..

and those flowers look amazing!

@Gen.Libeb Thanks man..I did that with my D3100, 18-55mm ..
