Wow, really nice photos by everyone and for me its like ties between many entries, but since only one vote is allowed, i will vote for #3 pichlo.

Re: Camera phone competition February 2015:"Black and white"
 

I vote for #5, FlashInTheNight86, for originality. Though #2, saponga , is fairly close :-)

Thank you. Best wishes.

Re: Camera phone competition February 2015:"Black and white"
 

Again, a very tough competition. All pictures have some merit in my eyes;

- @chenliangchen; huge amount of detail, this picture would best be presented as large canvas print. A bit flat though, could benefit from a more contrasty development
- @saponga; too contrasty, concentrating more tightly just in the center would have been nicer as it is very intresting in detail
- @pichlo; lots of movement, beautiful dynamic picture but a bit burnt out
- @FlashInTheNight86; very good attempt at still life but bit too vivid background and too flat lighting
- @Maxdamantus; Moody in a foggy kind of way but I think the bulbs themselves do not count as subject enough, there needs to be something else too
- @Docinha; Very good but looses too much detail in the middle of the picture
- @mrsellout; Very good tones but the shadow's bit prominent
- @briest; Composition is good, lead lines to main subject are excellent but the background is a bit odd and looses all detail in the main subject
- @ste-phan; Amazingly spotted geometry, good tones but sky burned out. (actually in this case it does not matter as it still preserves the geometry)

Tough one, but I wil have to vote #10, ste-phan.

Re: Camera phone competition February 2015:"Black and white"
 

#1 - chenliangchen

Re: Camera phone competition February 2015:"Black and white"
 

Vote for #3-pichlo

Re: Camera phone competition February 2015:"Black and white"
 

#1 - chenliangchen

Tough choices : #6 Maxdamantus I really like this one as well.

All have merit, for certain.

Re: Camera phone competition February 2015:"Black and white"
 

Confused between 7. Docinha and 3. Pichlo. Arrr
My vote is for no 3. Pichlo.

Congrats for winning! Amazing photos this month people, thanks for participating. Can't wait this month's theme.

Re: Camera phone competition February 2015:"Black and white"
 

What's the next month's theme?..

Thank you. Best wishes.

Re: Camera phone competition February 2015:"Black and white"
 

First off, thank you for all the votes!

There was a bit of ambiguity (will we have two themes? will the first to choose the theme win?) but the result is that chenliangchen and I will have to agree on a theme. I have proposed two and am awaiting chen's feedback.

Re: Camera phone competition February 2015:"Black and white"
 

Meanwhile... Shoot! Whatever the topic turns out to be, it may turn out that one of beginning-of-month photographs fits it perfectly :-)

Thank you. Best wishes.

Re: Camera phone competition February 2015:"Black and white"
 

Nice ones.

Would any Jolla user please try to load this (sixth) page pf this thread with his mobile? I have strange signs of strangeness.
My N900 dies a sudden reboot (known problem of this specific device with high-res picture sites) but my N9 opens well after quite some time.

Re: Camera phone competition February 2015:"Black and white"
 

I've had trouble earlier loading the page where chenliangchen posted all his MWC pics. Native, Webcat, Webpirate, they all crashed...

Just tried you request. Man, it looks like a disco when the browser is loading the pictures.
Or even after loading, the flickering just continues. Glad I'm not epileptic :D

Re: Camera phone competition February 2015:"Black and white"
 

I am reading this page on my Jolla in Webcat with no observable problems.

Re: Camera phone competition February 2015:"Black and white"
 

To clarify, I tried peterleinchens request on the native browser.

The other problem I mentioned can be experienced using either the Native browser, Webcat or Webpirate.

Just click here: http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=94679&page=5 and select a picture.

Edit: Hm, just tried it again and although it doesn't work properly it now doesn't crash on Native browser.
Edit2: Webproces crashed in Webpirate while loading page.
Edit3: Scrolling is a pain but it doesn't crash in Webcat.

Now I'm wondering what kind of things I was trying that actually made them all crash in the first instance.

Apologies for the off-topic.
/OT

Re: Camera phone competition February 2015:"Black and white"
 

We cannot go offtopic as this thread has seen EOL. ;)

So, nice update/upgrade by Jolla. Not.
My older devices do show that page but this Jolla plays disco after an eternity of loading time :(

I really wonder if their developers are using that thing. Or an N9/50?

Re: Camera phone competition February 2015:"Black and white"
 

I sometimes wonder that too. But that is for another thread...

Re: Camera phone competition February 2015:"Black and white"
 

Maybe they should use TMO as a webpage for their tests.
It has everything you need to challenge a browser.

Re: Camera phone competition February 2015:"Black and white"
 

They could start with their own. Reading and especially posting to TJC is a challenge on a Jolla.

Re: Camera phone competition February 2015:"Black and white"
 

I find navigating TJC a challenge even on my desktop. On my Jolla I use the Jolla Together app to navigate TJC.

Re: Camera phone competition February 2015:"Black and white"
 

True, this disco stuff looks very beta.
On MWC 2015 page:
http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=94679&page=5

-Jolla was frustrating me again by killing its own native web browser for reviving my "smooth user experience TM" (AKA bored masochist's anti-productivity mode), but when I stopped myself from wanting to do other things on the Jolla during background loading of the webpage, it slowly continued to pump up the cache and load the full size pictures at some point I could read the text on the forum and that is more than good enough for me on a mobile.
Firefox Android on Jolla works as well, just quicker.

-Nokia N900 with 800MB SWAP to SD was writing 300% swap (as per swapflop report) before I gave up waiting. Slow but no crash necessarily.
If you want to make your N900 crash over loading this page, I recommend to turn on java script and start loading it with an already fragmented swap partition.

-Nokia 808 with native Symbian browser: loaded pretty quickly, and although it carefully left out the top two heaviest pictures. At least this browser / system combo seems to be aware of its limits and presents me after seconds with a readable and smooth scrolling page without ridiculous disco flashing effects or eternal loading of full resolution images.
If the other systems would know exactly when and where to drop their desktop like ambitions with regard to web browsing, that would be nice and save OOM some job auto[killing the useful processes.

-Galaxy 2 with 2GB RAM (not updated standard OS since 2012, running Firefox mobile) Almost same as desktop: quick loading but stuggling to finish the two heaviest pictures.

-Elop 535 running WP 8.0 or 8.1: the native IE browser actually rendered pretty quickly a usable web page but with some strange long white intermezzo which the user has to scroll over during eternal loading.


Conclusion: the 808 seemed to handle the page best taking into account its limits. The other systems struggle to represent dekstop like experience but fall short of breath soon.

Congrats to user chenliangchen to discover a way of sharing pictures from some server in Salt Lake City, USA that does even make my mighty Macbook 2009 with 8GB RAM struggle to load the page (Firefox, scripts off)
When I closed the Firefox tab with the MWC page, the FF memory footprint got reduced from 1,57 GB to 960MB :o




and on http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=94541&page=6,

I found no significant issue apart from slowness and some disco effects on Jolla.

Nokia N900 flopswap reports 30% of fresh 800MB swap written after loading this page. More reasonable than the WMC page with 300% and counting ;)


Greetings!

Re: Camera phone competition February 2015:"Black and white"
 

I was surprised that many reported - I had no problem at all on my BB Passport and various Android devices using Chrome. Didn't aware of that.

Here are some more pics I took which including another few b&w pictures (I found some link to the topic) Perhaps worth testing as well. A lot pictures on that page - I don't take responsibility for any damage...:D
