You have to consider about the weather condition when using GPS, few days back I heard the condition in KL was too hazy and causes all the GPS unable to function.


Love the details on the dragonfly! The slight sharpness increase should thank to Flickr, they always give the photos some sharpening when upload

Never trust the small screen! Yellow hue? I dont know about Lumia phones but you should be able to change the white balance, no?

You can check it out on his Flirkr photos page, bottom right should have.

Yo, RM600 is a steal bro! Get it for her and if she doesn't like it sell it to me!

Girls should like camera app with filters and some urm... I forgot about the word, something to do with collage?

The giant apps are all in bound in the marketplace and yes, the current apps serve me well now. As for games I would rather get it on other platforms as the Xbox Live titles are bit expensive.

IMO, we shouldn't wait for the giant app dev to port their apps, we should have something that is unique on our platform, something that home brew from WP platform, something only cater for WP users

I went to the flickr pages, and there is bunch of photos. Says nothing on this EXIF (which is my original question) and how to take great pics in general.

With windows phone 8 coming they will be even more dev will invest.

Flickr don't do sharpening I tried uploading numerous times if the image quality is bad its bad. Its clear because the image focussed correctly.

Ytd i msged my gf and her dad say its sold. too bad i guess..

Great!

Sharpening only applies to Flickr generated pictures, which in this case thumbnails or resized photos.

what do you mean the images is focused correctly? Please do teach us my lord

Meaning sharpening only help to make the photo look clearer and sharper but the imagine must be clear in the first place. If the dragonfly I take out of focus sharpening will make my photo look worse

Thanks stranger for that

the thing is, no matter how I tweak the setting or try to focus, the resulted image is nothing like your posted images. It always came out grainy, and not sharp T_T

I'll try to post some image to show what is wrong later.

I suggest you should take your pictures under a well-lighted place or under a bright place, that way your phone camera sensor is able to grab most of the light thus faster shutter speed and the result is the camera will be able to capture all the details rendering sharp images. EDIT: Brighter places, less noise.

Aside from brighter places, while taking a picture under a not so well-lit places you need a firm and steady hand (we call it the steel hand, practise makes perfect ) As told by a veteran photographer (my photography lecturer), he told us while holding the camera with both hands, tuck both ends of our elbow towards our lower chest line, make sure you're giving it some force so your hands are steady, it may look very awkward at first but trust me, this works most of the time, stand firm on your ground. While pressing the shutter button, hold your breathe and fire away.

For the best result, just take several shots at the same time (something like burst mode on DSLR) and hopefully you'll land on your perfect picture.

Just sharing some photography tips, which works on most of the cameras out there.

Nicely said. Follow the tips above. Mobile phone no image stabilizer

Forgot to add,

"WHY THE HECK YOU DON'T USE THE LED FLASH?"
The flash from the phone is great, but we use it depends on the situation say for instance, you can use the led flash to freeze the moment while your subject is moving.

A direct flash to the face is like a direct slap to the face for your subjects(or that just me), I use any possible light source available, the flash tends to gives in the oily face effect or over exposed face, sometimes red eye so try use a tissue paper or paper to diffuse the light (softer light), so your subject won't feel the slap in the face.

Windows Phone OS is very much like iOS, in terms of the CONS, such as, restrcitions and limitations (no bluetooth file transfer, no mass storage access, relies on Zune (like iOS to iTunes), etc.
For your GF, it may not be a problem for her, but just to make sure, let her know first, else later she can't send or receive file with bluetooth, she'll might make a fuss.

Since she's not a smartphone user, the lack of apps may not really bother her, unless she suddenly want those apps that her smartphone friends have.

As for the PROs, one of the most amazing feature of Windows Phone is the Social Networking services integration. It have amazing deep Social Networking services integration (e.g. MSN, Facebook). In short, it's like having Facebook built-in to the phone.
Check out this video to get a clearer picture:


No really. The main limitations is it's very restrictions OS, and full of limitations. For people who want flexibility, customizations, WP7 will not meet their requirements. It's important to state these to avoid people falling in as victim and later only the realize and want to sell off their WP7 (happen to many people).


Not just lacking, but also more expensive apps. The worst yet, the region control. MS need to fix this problem, like,... seriously...

Hmm.. at first, they followed the way of apple~ full of restriction, limitation of hardware in order to maintain the smoothness BUT with WP8, it will support alot of hardware and also support alot of apps.

It's like 1st phase: follow apple
2nd phase: follow android

Does anyone know how to do a screenshot on the Lumia 900?

u just cant yet.

Yes, yellow yue in the middle. It was not there when you preview it in liveview, but after you pressed the shutter, the color changed. You can check the following pic:



By the way, how do you retrieve full resolution photo from the phone? Skydrive and email shrink them down....

direct upload to flickr. All my photos are uploaded direct to flickr no quality lost.
