C&TSRR - Colors 09-28-14

Unread postby Roger Hogan » Mon Sep 29, 2014 7:05 am

I rode from Antonito to Osier and back to Antonito yesterday and the colors are beautiful. It was overcast and on and off rain most of the day. I did not have a camera with me so I decided to try my cell phone. I have a Samsung Galaxy S 5 Active phone.

Roger, Good stuff!!
I can't get over the IQ (and the depth of field) of todays cell phone cameras.
those are damn fine photos especially if you consider the light..

I am pretty happy with my first attempt and in bad light.

Nice shots Roger!

It is amazing what phones can do these days, sometimes I almost want to toss out all the photo gear I have and just go with the phone and not have anything to lug around.

Very nice photos.

I am using a Samsung note3. I've been using it all summer to post work session photos. Using a smart phone avoids downloading photos to a computer and then uploading.

However auto correct while typing on a smart phone can be your worst enema.

Thank you to John Cole for catching my mistakes this summer.

I've been using a Samsung note3 and before that a note 2. If I position the phone sideways when taking photos, i can upload them on the Friend’s Forum from the gallery. The forum does not require resized or shrunken photos. I think all the Samsung ophones will work similar.

Other message boards require photos to be shrunk to 250k or lower. A big thank you to Jason for designing this board with out that requirement. So how simple is that? Aim the phone in the right orientation, take a pic and upload.
