My Daily Snapshot

[JohnB]

I'm going to try and keep a daily photo going with my Android. I've been having a lot of fun playing around with the camera and various apps for processing them. I'll kick it off with day one, which is not today.

I love the third one. the bloom on the mailbox is a little distracting but I really like it overall.

[Steve Paxton]

Keep it up John! Glad to see you posting pics. I kind of like the bloom on the mailbox - it fits with the retro feel of a Polaroid image.

Yeah. It's hard to control. I think I did take that with exposure compensation turned up. It was partly the processing that blew out the mailbox. I'd like to see a little more detail in it, but I do like the look overall.

It's much easier to take pictures when you don't have to pull 'em off a camera, open 'em in lightroom and figure out how to process them.

Thanks for the feedback. I think I'm going to stick with the snapshot theme and use the polaroid borders around my photos. We'll see how long this lasts.

We had our pastor and his wife over this afternoon for some speedies. Marlin seemed to enjoy sitting at Pastor Mike's feet. I grabbed a few photos with my phone before she caught on to the fact that I was taking her picture.

What app are you using for you droid? I have not really played around too much with my x since I got it. But if I had a fun photo app then I might!

[JohnB]

I'm using a few different apps. I've used retro camera, fx camera and the vignette demo. Of course, I'm also using the camera app that came with my phone to capture most of the photos.

How are you liking your phone John? Has your SIM card arrived? My Galaxy seems to take pretty sharp images. I will post a few when I get some time.

I'm really loving it, Steve. My SIM card came, but I don't have my data plan set up yet. I wouldn't trade this for an iPhone. :)

I'm pretty impressed with the photos that I get out of this thing. I'm not getting the full sized photos using FxCamera or retroCamera, but I like the effects they apply. It would be nice to be able to apply the effects myself in Photoshop.

I didn't take this one today. I took it last week when I first got my phone. I liked this one so I thought I'd use it.

Great pic John. The slide looks really cool, very vintage feeling.

You taking some nice shots with that phone John. Maybe you should just send your camera gear to me. :;;D:

I'm a day late because of the above. In trying to set up my new router, I killed my internet connection. I do have the PPPoE username/password now so I should be good to go!

I knew when I saw that you had responded to this thread that you were commenting on my lack of activity! Methinks you're a tad predictable. :p

I'm a little behind... Not for a lack of photos, I just haven't uploaded them yet. I'll try to get to that today.

Is that really your keyboard? Wow...

[JohnB]

Yeah. That's my keyboard. I usually eat at my desk, so it gets a little messy. The good news is I'll be getting a new keyboard soon.

[Steve Paxton]

I highly recommend this Logitech keyboard (http://www.logitech.com/en-us/keyboards/keyboard/devices/7288) - it's back-lit and works in darkened rooms.

It looks handy, but my hands cramp up with standard keyboards. I gotta have a natural keyboard.
