[ZENNON]

Zennon, thats an awesome picture! Bit dark though, but thats just my opinion.

Yeah think you're right actually - it looked fine at home but then when I saw it on my work pc is was like

(then realised it was because I had played with my gamma and brightness at home so i can see the bloody counter strike campers )

the innov8 was barely sold here. Mine was bought overseas from ebay. Very hard to find one here and hence running overseas firmware (couldnt find australian firmaware) It doesnt affect the functionality of the phone but.

Depends what you are after on a phone.

The innov8 has wifi and runs on symbian OS (same operating system as the new gen nokia's, so there are many applications you can run. After you crack the phone there are a lot of apps to download. Ive got about 3 different GPS programs and 2 different office suite apps) also has 8gb or 16gb internal memory.

Also the middle button on the innov8 is infra-red sensor, so you slide your thumb over it to move the cursor when browsing websites etc. Think of it as a mini touch pad on laptops. Although its much more sensitive as its a small pad.

Quickly reading about the ultra touch, they are touch screen but dont have wifi or big internal memory. however they are very small phone.

CS1.6 WC3 mod

sweet ill go grab a 16gb one then, my only prob with internal mem phones is if you drop it in water you cant easily remove the mem card to download your data, just means more frequent backuping....

The i8510 does have a memory card slot, so you can get a 8gb internal and then buy a 8gb card if you want.

think you should crop the top

ps its an awesome shot imo!!!

[zei20l]

yeah i agree its a good shot!!

maybe crop it so the black at the top is the same as the black at the bottom to even it out......

[Mr. Oizo]

Yeah, I probably should... lol

I wanted to show how big it was

[ZENNON]

I like the ones with the small silhouetted people in the fore ground - shows the size difference better imo

[Xmetal]

The last shot is epic.

[Sl!m]

first attempt at some panning shots.. lots of practice needed... and a decent lens for it, was using the 50mm for these ones. I think.. might have been the stock lens too..

something from the last day of august...

what noticable difference does the lens make when panning?

[ZENNON]

you can pan with any lens

use shutter priority mode

start at around 1/125

if you get lots of blurry cars speed it up a little (ie 1/250 etc)

if you get a sharp car every (unlikely) slow it down

[Sl!m]

yeah I know you can do it with any lens, but with the 50mm it was hard to get the whole car in focus, it usually focused on the rear or the door or the front but not the whole thing

don't use it wide open then?

[Jay019]

don't use it wide open then?

he was using f22.

i dont think you did to bad considering they were taken at 1/40th of a second. maybe start at 100th and work your way down from there. although im no pro so take that with a grain of salt.
