Late night bridge shot

That kinda looks like the bridge to Alton, IL

Nice night shot, Thomas. Did you set anything on the camera or just let it do its thing?

 

[Smyrna5]

Great shots, Newfangled. I just love the scenery in that part of the country. I have only had the pleasure of visiting Moab once in my life, but would love to go back sometime.

Great idea fora thread, Corepc. I am realy enjoying everyone's pictures. They are very inspiring, and really showcase what a great little camera this phone has. Keep em coming, everyone.

Pro camera app manual focus. Auto focus made it blurry every time.

Dustin - if you don't already have it, proxy download ProCam. Manual focus and exposure controls will fix a lot of picture ills. The camera can only guess what you want in focus, exposed properly, etc, but only you know for sure

rkin - where you using auto-focus on pics 2&3?

I find that I can usually focus better manually when there isn't as much light. Of course holding the camera still during those times can also be a challenge. I find that trying to push the dedicated camera button always shakes or moves my camera and usually spoils my shot, so I often just tap the screen where I want to focus. Then it pauses a few seconds to give you a chance to get still again.

where was this taken in chicago? I cant figure it out, and I live here!

Yep downtown Chicago at a friends place off the river. It is right off the Kinzie bridge and photographers love to take wedding couples and friends there to get this view.

I have been trying to steady the camera and use auto focus. My hands shake though

I have been thinking of getting one of those tripod attachments they sell for cell phone cameras. Failing that, I usually try to lean on something when I can.

today I was using the proshot app and my hand was shaking, I didn't want the dragon fly to fly away. The picture came out nice and crisp. I'm impressed by this phone's camera.

Did you mean to attach the picture?
