Re: After Party: 1five2oh
Cleaning up around the house and found this dummy Lumia 1520. I bought it a month or so before the 1520 was officially released to get an idea of how I would like the size. Ahhhh, memories.

Re: After Party: 1five2oh / 1oh2oh
I'm expanding this thread as I've added a Lumia 1020 to this project. Title updated. I started this project with my 1520 retiring to camera duty, then decided to add a 1020. I have converted my original thread in the 1520 forum to a new meta-thread to keep it all under one title.
My Lumia 1020 should be here today when I get home from work.
72" tripod arrives tomorrow (no more shooting from the odd perspective of 4' height).
Camera Grip on Friday.
I have some supplies to make quick detach wrist and neck straps so they will be easily interchangeable. One each for the 1020 and one each for the 1520. I plan to document the construction and results.

Re: After Party: 1five2oh / 1oh2oh
I used my 1020 to take pictures of making the quick release straps for my 1520.
Here are my supplies: a 25' piece of paracord, a spool of waxed cotton thread and a package of small quick release buckles.
I use the smooth end, not the forked end, to attach to the phone.
I cut a piece of waxed thread 8" long and tied a double knot in it so it made a loop about 2 3/4" long... Trim the ends.
Feed the knotted end through the buckle so the knot is on the back side of the buckle...
Lift the knotted end and slip the loop through...
Pull the loop to tighten it on the buckle and make sure the knot ends up resting in the hole for neatness...
Run a generous length of regular sewing thread through the loop. You need this to feed the loop of waxed thread through the holes in your case...
The clear acrylic snap-on case I use on my 1520 already had the holes in it. I've always wanted to get a strap on there. Use the doubled over sewing thread to pull the waxed thread loop through one hole...
...and then through the other hole. Note that the buckle and the loop both end up on the outside of the case. The buckle should be upside down.
Hold the loop up and feed the buckle through it...
...pull it taught and snug it down. You can then put the phone in the case.
Cut a 20" length of paracord and heat the cut end with a lighter to seal it and keep it from fraying. Keeping the two ends even, tie a knot with them as close to the end of the cord as possible...
Feed the loop through the forked end of the buckle. The knot should be on the "top" side of the buckle...
Lift the knotted end, push the loop through, pull it taught and snug it down. It ain't pretty, but it works. You now have a wrist strap to quickly attach and detach from your phone.

Here are the results...
Repeat the second half with a 40" piece of paracord and the forked part of a second buckle to create a neck strap. You can easily change between wrist and neck straps by using the quick release buckle.
Whatja think?

^ Very cool! I love clear directions like this with pics. Might give this a go on my 1520, too. Thanks for the post. Nice pics, too.

On my Start screens (1520 and 1020) I've ditched 4Blend and HDR Camera in favor of pinning two extra ProShot tiles. One is my fave HDR setup (+/- 1.7ev, 3 shots, no delay, merge on phone, no portrait mode) and one Custom which is just forced ISO 100 for low light ATM.
I'm planning to get out there today with both phones and get a bunch of pics in the can.

I had a lot of fun today. My wife and I went to the Botanical Gardens. I took both the 1520 and the 1020 along. Snapped more than 90 shots with each.
IMHO, this is the best of the crop. Lumia 1020, Lumia Camera, 34MP DNG, cropped and processed with Fotor to JPG > tweaks in Polarr > resized in Office Picture Manager '07 to fit the forum...

I will say this. My experience has always been that on Lumia 1520 Panorama = frustration.
That held true last Sunday as well. Tried and failed 3 times to get a good stitch going on 1520. Lumia 1020 was smooth as glass though.

Heading out in a little while to try and shoot some pics of the moonrise tonight. 16:43 my time.
Taking the 1520, the 1020, the 72" tripod, mini tripod, mini tripod with bendable legs, and a mounting bracket for the 1520 (the 1020 mounts via the camera grip. Both devices charged 100%.
I have a compass to help set up my shots knowing the moonrise will be at 76? and I have a primary and alternate location to scout. Hopefully the primary scouts well as the moon should be rising over a lake. Otherwise I'm going to a nearby hilltop with a less glamorous backdrop...

Awesome! Hope you get some good shots. I can never get good moon shots. I mean the moon that is orbiting Earth at the moment.

Anxious to see what you got. I took a few shots with a few different devices. All pretty poor turnout.

Me too.
My new old Pentax K20 failed big time.
I tried a few moonshots 2 years ago with a Lumix FZ50 and got lucky there (the tripod helps)
The next chance is December 14th?

Re: After Party: 1five2oh / 1oh2oh / nine3oh / 1C0N
As expected the moonshots were not the best... I did get this one. Cropped 5:7 out of the 34MP dng from the 1020, shot at ISO 100 and I applied the backlit scene (all in Fotor).
Has a nice moodiness to it, IMHO. Detail is pretty poor at 100% viewing.
The best shot my eye picked out from the session again goes to 1020. ProShot Classic, 4MP HDR jpg, +/-0.3ev, untouched.
I have some grist for the processing mill, maybe I'll find something else when I have time to play with the files again.

Whoa, to me, those look good, especially the second one! Nice shots.

Went out to a jam session last night. Just a few guys goofing around with a couple of guitars and a rack of keyboards.
I had the 1520 up at the top of the 72" tripod taking wide-shot video most of the night while I wandered in and out taking pics and vidz with the 1020.
First time really playing with this handy mount...
...I had the 1020 locked down to it in the camera grip case. Gave me a lot of leeway panning different angles for video and grip choices for stills.
The companion bracket has been great for mounting the 1520 even in a case as the jaws are extra wide.
Still sorting, evaluating and editing the copious material. I'm glad I have these two imaging powerhouse legacies on hand though. Had a lot of fun and made a few dollars on the side.

Would you say these are still good phones to use as cameras? I'm not really interested in carrying a camera with me and my passport is pretty trash for the camera. I remember fondly of the quality of the pics I was taking with my Icon. I like the take picture of being out and about with my wife and taking lot of pictures of my kids. I do like to print out these photos. So is the quality still good for me to pick one of these up? I've been reading on here the 1020 is pretty slow so it might not make the best camera for what I want to use it for. What's your guys' opinion?
