Single-light portraits using the room as a modifier - 0 views

  •  
    "So here's my camera and my light modifier. It's only a camera if you are speaking latin, but it truly is the light mod. I started thinking about this after the passport photo post in which I lit Em with a white wall and a fill card. As we were walking out of the room, it hit me that you could think of the narrow hallway as being a giant soft box, but how would it shape a light placed behind the camera and fired backwards?"

Nokia Lumia 1020 Rewards Those Willing to Commit to It - 0 views

  •  
    The Nokia 1020 is a smartphone for those who prize great photos above all else-that is, above size and some popular apps, like Instagram. The phone is fast, the display is gorgeous, and on board are Nokia's free music service and other excellent location-based apps-which in addition to maps that even work offline offer users lists of nearby restaurants, stores and events. But the focus, again, is on the cameras-one with a talent for low-light situations and another that excels at capturing detail-rich photographs that can be zoomed into without losing clarity. Between the two, the possibilities seem endless-which is a blessing and a frustration, perhaps depending on your disposition. Downsides are that the cameras are slow; it's hard to catch a fleeting moment. It's also not intuitive to know which camera or feature to fire up. I had the gnawing feeling of always wondering whether I was using the not-optimum tool from a world-class toolbox. The upsides, though, are everything else-you can take gorgeous video and photos, and the Lumia 1020 makes them easy to share. Those willing to dedicate themselves to some study of the 1020 will be richly rewarded.

Innovation or hype? Ars examines Nokia's 41 megapixel smartphone camera - 0 views

  •  
    Nokia made some design decisions, such as utilizing a relatively large 1/1.2" sensor, to improve performance. Also, it's exploiting the high megapixel count to do interesting things such as oversampling to reduce noise, and creating one of the first usable "digital zoom" features to grace a compact camera.
