Pictures / Video taken with your 928

Re: Pictures/Videos taken with your 928!

I did a quick side-by-side and it looks like the auto mode shot has a bit more fine detail. Do mine eyes deceive me?

I definitely think the picture taken with ProShot has better detail and clarity. The problem with the high ISO is that it tends to blur a lot of the fine details (overcompensating noise reduction algorithms). The colors also look more accurate to me in the manual shot. I opened them up again side-by-side and zoomed in pretty far on the same section of the image to make the comparison, then I took screenshots of the images zoomed in. You guys can be the judge here:

Yeah, the Pro Shot is definitely better.

A couple of daytime pictures (on different days). All auto settings, first picture using the Nokia Panorama app, the second using default Camera app.

First attempt at a panorama. Pretty happy with the details, stitching, and overall image quality. Trees didn't silhouette as much as I expected.
Panorama on SkyDrive

Love when the sky/clouds look cool like this.

I've discovered the shutter speed and ISO settings. ;-) Everything hand stabilized against a table. I'm still learning the ins and outs of this.

Original pic with all auto settings using Pro Shot:


2sec exposure, auto ISO, no flash


4sec exposure, 100 ISO, no flash


4sec exposure, 100 ISO, diff saturation, no flash

Nice work jleebiker! It's amazing what a difference exposure times can make. I actually have saturation reduced in one of my custom profiles on Pro Shot because I thought images were being a little over-saturated. I like your last shot the most.

Thanks! I agree. I think the last one is the best.
I didnt realize I could change Saturation until this last pic. I think color-wise, it is the most accurate.

I am jealous you have such a beautiful pool at your home.

Bryce Canyon Utah, this was taken with the Auto settings on the camera. I still think the default camera adds a bit too much saturation, but proshot solves that.

What does that mean? too much camera?

Re: Pictures/Videos taken with your 928!

Fixed, sorry about that, haha. I meant Saturation... you couldn't decipher that?

Beautiful!

One more, this one is a panorama:



I did edit this one in creative studio, I toned down the vibrance, upped the brightness, added some clarity. I was impressed with the interface on the panorama feature, so neat. For those who are wondering, this is on the Navajo Loop trail in Bryce Canyon, You can see the Formation "Thors Hammer" on the right side, what an incredible place!

That's astonishing, I hope to make it to that region some day, muck about and what not!

Having never really used a windows phone before, how does the panoramic feature work? Is it native on the 928 or do you need additional software to easily take a panoramic? Is it like Apple's where you sweep in one motion and it converts the image into a panoramic? I

The 928 comes with a Nokia app called... "Panorama". It seems to be limited to about a 120 degree arc.

I use Microsoft's Photosynth app. Much better in my opinion and it allows for a full 360 degree panaorama that is interactive if you share it on the Photosynth website. You can find the app here:
Photosynth | Windows Phone Apps+Games Store (United States)

You can check out the Photosynth site at:

To answer your question, the way the Panorama app works is you start it, and it grabs the first image, then guides you on-screen to rotate to the next point, and the next, and so on. Not as smooth as Apple's. No, it's not native to the platform - it's a Nokia app (but I think there are others in the store). I also prefer Photosynth to Panorama, however it will depend on what you're looking for. If you want a wide, short image, like a banner, use Panorama. If you want an interactive image that pans around keeping the proper perspective, use Photosynth.
