Pictures taken with your Lumia 900 post em here

Lumia's macro really is impressive. Does have trouble focusing on small objects and focuses on the background instead, but flower and such look great.

Very true! I took a picture of a very small leaf with my focus but couldn't get the 900 to focus on that same leaf no matter what i did.
 
Would you believe that the first three shots were with flash and default setting.. horrible.

These two I had to play with a bit,

All these pics were on a dark stair case with a light on off to the side. Still, even the pictures that look bright enough, have WAY too much noise.
 
My pictures are turning put extremely dark and I can't seem to fix it with settings, is this a problem for many people or do I possibly have a bad camera?

I myselft can't figure this out. You can change the exposure, increase it to +.5 or +1, and check the scenes and white balance settings.

But it could also just be a bad camera I have heard both, and don't know how to tell if you only have the one phone.

I bought fhotoroom and started posting pictures online there. some are retouched, but these two are not .

The problem I have with the camera is that all my friends have iPhones, so its hard to tell them how to take a picture with my phone without knowing all the tricks to taking the pictures..

Both of these pics were taken with fhotoroom and not the native camera application.

Hopefully other users try taking pictures with different apps to see if the image quality dramatically improves.
 
Took my daughter to the park this afternoon and snapped these with my white 900. These are straight out of the camera using the built-in camera/software. No apps, no tweaking. I'm happy with these, and I've had every iPhone, the Samsung Focus, and Lumia 800.

It would be nice to have a comparison between the L900, L800 and N9 since it's the same lense but each phone has different software :)
 
Wildflower season is just getting underway... here are a few shots from a lunchtime walkabout.

I think flower pics are actually not too trying for a camera, being pretty saturated, and not having large areas of neutral color that have to be balanced just so and reproduced without gradations. But what the heck... they're enjoyable to look at, and folks who know the characteristic color of Ceanothus and California Poppy will probably agree that these are pretty decent reproductions:

And one dim-light shot of a candlelit restaurant table. This one won't survive any pixel-peeping, but the overall image does a fine job of capturing the scene. (Not making any claims about the composition or choice of subject!)

Overall I'd rate the 900's camera a definite step up from my iPhone 4, and on par with most point-and-shoots I've used recently. The sensor is pretty noisy in low light, but usable, and quite nice in daylight. There are definite issues with the image processing: white balance, color rendition, and tone curve, so Nokia's got some homework to do. Actually, I think they've already done it: the "Auto Fix" function goes a long way toward taming crushed shadows and blown highlights, and as I get comfortable with it I'm applying it to more and more pictures by default.

If Nokia would just move a slightly milder form of this AutoFix processing over into the standard default JPEG processing done on every picture, and release it in the next software update, I think we'd be hearing less complaining about photos from this phone.
 
Just got my replacement today for various reasons. One thing I noticed though was low light pictures. On my original 900 I would see horrible streaking before taking photos, with my new lumia it looks just noisy, like it normally does with point and shoots. Also, then lens look different. In my original,it looks larger, the newer looks smaller. I'll have to put photos later of it. That said the newer one seems to take better low light photos.
 
The contrast of table piece is usually difficult to capture color. The CD case has reflection and scratches, also hard to get jussssst right.
