One wet day, today! I saw a little bit of blue sky and was really excited hoping it would stay that way. But the weather has a mind of its own - it decided to throw down buckets of rain instead. I saw such pretty colours on my way home that I had to stop and admire the scene, sans camera. And then I thought - wait! What did I pay the big bucks for my phone for? It has an 8 MP camera on it and so I whip it out to get some nice shots. Of course the megapixels don't really have anything to do with the quality of the lens, but you do expect a moderately good piece of glass in a hi-res camera. Well, at least I did!
I have used it before on a nice, bright day, but this evening was a completely different story. I couldn't believe the grainy shots I got, no clarity or sharpness - nothing. I am certain there are settings on the camera that I could have manipulated, but I have never really taken the time to get familiar with this one. I made a mental note of that - make friends with your phone camera!
What a bummer it was! Anyway, out of the 15 odd shots I took, I discarded most of them. The following remain:
To add a final note. the first three shots were processed in LR3 and the last one is SOOC. I think the difference in quality between them is noteworthy.
