Cut of and cry.

Re: Show your best photos taken with N900
 

Today was a nice weather to try to take pictures for the feb competition.

Re: Show your best photos taken with N900
 

Warm welcome to Finland!

Re: Show your best photos taken with N900
 

Is that what Helsinki looks like now? We are going to Ruka in a couple of weeks and are curious about how to dress ;)

Re: Show your best photos taken with N900
 

Shorts + t-shirt. It's less than -10 celsius. For now.

Re: Show your best photos taken with N900
 

Does "less than -10" mean "closer to zero" or "closer to negative infinity"?

Re: Show your best photos taken with N900
 

closer zero. The eternal problem which way is it.

Re: Show your best photos taken with N900
 

Yes. "Above -10" and "below -10" are unambiguous, methinks.

Re: Show your best photos taken with N900
 

How cold it is? "Less than" means closer to zero so warmer, 'cause there is less minus degrees. But "above" means "above certain amount" of minus degrees - instead of describing temperature - which is lower - which means it's colder.

But this changes upside down when the temperature raises above zero. Then if you ask how cold it is, "less than" means colder, not warmer. Context rules the interpretation.

Re: Show your best photos taken with N900
 

But if you see it from the mathematical stand point:
less than -10 means colder, as
-11 < -10 (-11 is less than -10) is true

And that does not change above/below zero (but of course numbers change):
9 < 10 is true, whereas 10 < 11 is false.

So colder or less than may be used as synonyms, right? ;)

Finally a reason to use Kelvin . . .

And also on topic, I need to hunt down that HDR palm tree that was my first photo project with my (at the time) new N900.

Re: Show your best photos taken with N900
 

People are not rational beings and language (any!) is not exact.
"Less than -10" is often treated as short for "less cold that -10", which means "more than -10" in strictly mathematical terms.

I am not sure whether other languages suffer the same problem but English is really full of idiosyncrasies like that, when a word in a given context has the exact opposite meaning from the same word in isolation.
"There were quite a few people there" >>> few = many
"I soldered down the USB port to hold it fast" >>> fast = not moving at all

Haven't found that palm yet, but I don't think I've shared this foggy path through a cemetery before.

(And speaking of homophones, homonyms and homograms, consider raze and raise. The former can mean to demolish, the latter, to construct. Homophones yet antonyms.)

Re: Show your best photos taken with N900
 

Weary nice pic!

Re: Show your best photos taken with N900
 

Excellent photos guys.

Re: Show your best photos taken with N900
 

And the palm tree finally!

One of 8 HDR tonemaped images I made from the original 3 exposure bracket I took with my then new N900 using FCamera for the DNG output and auto-bracketing feature. I think this one is interesting without being too over-the-top.

(And in English, there's a word that's its own antonym! Technically, it's two words that are pronounced and spelled the same but are of opposite meaning in at least one sense.)

Ed...another from the palm series. The stippling and other artifacts in this one makes me think of a pen-and-ink drawing that's been tinted like an old postcard.

Street lamp. In the mourning ours.

Re: Show your best photos taken with N900
 

Gotta love those mourning ours
:D

Re: Show your best photos taken with N900
 

I mourn mine all the time.

So, Mamish, all this time you were talking about a palm, you were talking about a tree?
I thought it was a phone!

Two words that are spelled and pronounced the same?
That's the same word!

Re: Show your best photos taken with N900
 

"So, Mamish, all this time you were talking about a palm, you were talking about a tree?
I thought it was a phone!"

Palm?
I thought he was talking about something in his hand...

Re: Show your best photos taken with N900
 

Well it's late here...
I think we should wait for the early mourning ours to discuss this further..

Re: Show your best photos taken with N900
 

Like... a phone?
I still mourn mine. The best phone ever.

Re: Show your best photos taken with N900
 

And I thought a face palm :rolleyes:

Re: Show your best photos taken with N900
 

Is someone making fan of me?

I'm not atleast writing english as a finn. Atörvais ai tink not meni vud andörständ.

Re: Show your best photos taken with N900
 

So glad they put the note! I was just about to put my dirty dishes in which I happened to carry with me. A close one - again.

Re: Show your best photos taken with N900
 

Just a minor brightnes/contrast adjusting (like +- 2 max). Taken with BlessN900.

Re: Show your best photos taken with N900
 

I definitely can learned a lot from this. Can’t wait to put it all into action

Re: Show your best photos taken with N900
 

Hi,

here are some pics I took lately. I still prefer my n900 for taking images even if it is a bit slow compared to my daily phone... But still... the pictures are more vivid to me. :)

So these were taken with n900 CSSU stock camera in raw; edited on an Android device with Lightroom.

Re: Show your best photos taken with N900
 

Amazing!
A 10y old device wth a camera module even older (wasn't it the same as N97mini?) makes better pics than an up-to-date HW with a sailing OS on it!

But most irritating/wondering about: how did hou arrange the pics so nicely within a post on TMO??? :eek:

Re: Show your best photos taken with N900
 

Yeah... My every day used Samsung device is 5 years old now and despite all the hacking I made on it (not me personally but trying to improve capabilities others made possible) still not capable of shooting such nice pictures (12,8 MP vs 5 MP on n900...). If only n900 was up to date...

Not a big deal...;):p You paste the link of the image ("Insert link") then click on "Insert image" and paste the link of the miniature of the image then you only have to use "Enter" and "Spacebar" buttons to arrange the images... :D I pasted 3 images in a row only a spacebar between them and then "Enter" and pasted the other 3 images as I wrote above. That's it.

Re: Show your best photos taken with N900
 

The only thing i kinda disagree is posting photos here taken with N900 and edited by any kind of program. It does not feel a pure N900 picture.

PS: it is just my opinion

Re: Show your best photos taken with N900
 

I understand and accept your point. But how about raw...? That is pure n900; the true capability of the sensor. And that must be edited...

Re: Show your best photos taken with N900
 

N900 has a good sensor and takes amazing pictures even nowadays. I could take a "bad" picture and edit it with lightroom to make it look nice and post it here. It might win the "picture of the month" prize ;)

Re: Show your best photos taken with N900
 

It's up to you what you share ;) For me this is all about using my beloved device and control every little detail of even the pictures that the algorithm would do other way (as we modify everything else on this device :D). I take pictures for myself and not to win anything. And I always amazed what others might shoot and how others see the world :)

Re: Show your best photos taken with N900
 

Amazing pictures! And I don't really understand the talk about editing pictures, because digital images are always edited. You can either let the device do the editing or shoot raw images and do it by yourself. So the editing is always there, regardless of the camera used to the shooting part. You can buy a 2k€ DSL frame with a great lense, and use cameras 'auto' setting and have pretty good pictures. Or, you can unlock the full potential of the device to shoot raw, and do the editing by yourself. The same is with n900; it has a great camera, but it's automatic post processing doesn't always know what kind of image you wanted to take. Doing the post processing manually is not cheating, but rather part of the photographing process.

Re: Show your best photos taken with N900
 

Certainly even on N900 it is possible to edit a photo. The example i gave was to take a picture with the phone, edit it on "Photoshop" or other program and then post it here. Lightroom does miracles on a bad picture ;)

Re: Show your best photos taken with N900
 

Yes and no. If the photo really sucks technically, then even a Lightroom wizard can't make it a masterpiece. And another point: I would consider as a DSLR in this matter; a device to shoot pictures with. You woudn't use your Canon/Nikon/Pentax/whatever DSLR frame to edit your pictures, but import the pics to Lightroom instead. So why should you use your n900-branded DSLR for the editing? But anyway, I get your point too :)
