Thank you sifu Agito for the tip

Nokia PV 808, HDR + Photoshop panorama

This post has been edited by realjazzcoke: Apr 8 2015, 02:08 PM

Thanks for the input sifu, correcting now its been a while unfortunately HDR doesn't boost much lighting where there is no light at all (typical FSI sensor).

true oso sifu, and you are right on the HDR theory, i admit im using the HDR at night in the wrong way lol, but come out pretty good i must say in general (minus the dark places), need more experiment on the ISO next time when i have the chance again to do it again^^

PS. i do hope that i have a PANASONIC DMC-CM1 phone to test the 60sec exposure on 1" sensor for this scene LOL

Agreed:) especially on " ie bring out details on shadow and highlight area." this is my intention of this test shots^^
I find the overall exposure on shadows and highlight are much more even (without overblown or too dark), but without a BSI sensor, capturing ultra-low dim light is harsh for 808 (which is old FSI type by the way)

Actually i would like to extend this HDR+panorama idea to create beach shots, but soon i realized is not possible to capture natural wave pattern across the screen LOL, still i would like to try once if i have the chance again~

Wow, how i missed Taiwan already just by seeing your post, just been there last year (and get trigger happy to take photo everyday haha)^^ By the way nice shots from you bro. keep em' coming

Nice! Hope to see more from Mi Note, the results are quite good^^

Thanks:) Already came back from there.

Mi Note is actually doing a pretty good job at camera department too at such price tag (and near flagship specs).
If there are more manual settings for Mi Note camera, Im sure it can get serious too^^

I find your Mi Note's night shots at Chocolate Ville & Asiatique are better compared to 808 in terms of overall dynamic range (And i think most of your shots are handheld and not using tripod, correct me if i'm wrong , I really wish my 808 comes with OIS too LOL )

I feel you, this is what happens when you are following a group.
Looking forward to see the potential of 32 sec, especially on busy road at night

Finally, the flagship of the year shots are pretty bright even on low light, i guess ƒ/1.9 takes the credit here^^
Image quality was pretty good too, even on high ISO (800 at least to me). Getting better and better these days

Care to check which camera sensor your S6 Edge are using? this time around the S6 Edge was equipped either with SONY IMX 240 or ISOCELL, click on the link below to see what is the differences between both sensors.

No, there is something special, i saw monkey! LOL

Can i know what is the time while you take this shot? would like to try a shot when i have the chance to visit penang again^^ Newer phones are so good (instant pano), unlike the old 808 have to take the shot first then post process with Photoshop, if any of the frame shakes, no second chance...sigh...
Nice Pano btw and thanks for the info on your blog:clap:


Indeed, the colour is much richer and deeper (and better^^) compared to the dim sum earlier, just slightly washed out (maybe due to soft lighting), still nice food shots for both


Now, some shots at bangkok SIAM PARAGON, i went there early so just shooting around:

Wow sifu, the most advanced android camera flagship to date How long can the long shutter hold in manual? cant wait for more shots from this beast

Better dun play play lor like tat you still want to give your dad the G4 in one piece because so far yet to see any camera flagship phones performing serious long shutter on outdoor shots (eg. Panasonic DMC-CM1 can works up to staggering 60sec! even Mi Note oso can play with 30 secs which is the same with G4 if the spec sheet are right)

For handheld consider not bad liao (coz from the photo it just shows a little shake), with the help of OIS

I still uses phone strap for situations like yours (safety 1st), too bad smartphones nowadays doesn't have this "function built-in"...

Nice one, the scene can be much more dramatic if slow shutter were used and with tripod^^

given if this is the performance of a handheld 1/15 sec (ISO 1000), it is indeed impressive

Hi, here are my 2 cents for the comparison , are both phones set on auto settings while shooting? if yes, technically we cant actually compare/judge the picture quality or the true performance of the two, due to different ISO and shutter speed (Unfair)

Not sure if the arrangements are correct or purposely disarranged (the last set):

a. 1A,2A and 3B are simply better in details and white balance, although overall looks dimmer compared to Phone B- Lets just call it Phone A

b. Where else 1B,2B and 3A not just showing inconsistent white balance in each scene, brighter overall scene (a little too much), but lastly the lost of finer details, smudged (you cant even see the grass clearly in 1A for example) - Phone B

If both phones are using the similar ISO & shutter speed in Auto, Phone A leads all the way, but if its not, lets just say Phone A are better in handling various low-lighting situation while preserving as much detail as possible, brighter scene doesn't always better. I would rather preserve as much detail as possible, then work the dim area with Photoshop later. That's for me by the way

Lastly, price point, if the gap is huge between the two, i must say Phone B is actually doing a decent job here, but not better.

Thanks for sharing the photos
