Hey Ankur, nice to see you back!

That's unfortunate about your Flickr. I had a hard time transferring my account over to a usable Yahoo account I already had. PITA. Like the bord shot though :good:

Around 2AM I was driving back from a photo shoot when I stumbled upon a house heavily involved in fire. After making sure everyone was out of the house and the fire department was on the way, I proceeded to snap a few photos.

So are you back from Seattle, or still out there? What's your impression of the US?

I've been back since May 3rd - only just gotten round to posting the photos here. ;)

I loved America. Everybody in Seattle at least seemed really nice and friendly and there's a great atmosphere. I went out to Seattle to go to the Microsoft Global Educator Exchange in Redmond which is close-by. Hopefully one day I'll get a job at Microsoft and I can come back to Seattle. It has left me wanting to go to lots of other American cities now, too! :good: If only I had the money... ;)

Been a long time...

Shot taken just before a thunderstorm, made contrast a little different than normal :)

Nice shot Ben, I'm liking the reflections! :good:

Rather than post all of my latest shots here I'll just post a link to my Flickr where they all are (I've taken a lot since I last posted here): https://www.flickr.com/photos/jasonbrown2013/

My 50mm f/1.8G arrived today and I also have a 50mm f/1.4 on review for a couple of weeks as well as my 'new' Nikon F80 film camera to have a play with, so I'm starting to get back into my photography!

Geoff are you shooting RAW on your LG? I took some photos in RAW yesterday on Dad's Lumia 930 and was quite impressed with the results! :good:

These were all JPG. Honestly, I really don't like the RAW photos. There is so much work required to get them to look decent. You need to manually correct the lens correction, as it has dark vignetting in the corners, images are a tad noisy even at ISO 100, they aren't very sharp, they are very dull, etc. So even for a snapshot I have to tweak a ton of settings, plus you can't use HDR mode with RAW, which is a quick and easy way to get nice looking landscapes.

I really think RAW mode is a gimmick, I'd rather have a nicely processed JPG like the ones above straight out of the phone, than to have to deal with processing RAW files from a phone. I do like the manual mode though, I'll probably mess around with 30 second exposures, shutter speed, and manual focus though.

So those are JPEGs straight out of the phone? They look great!

The RAW mode on the Lumia 930 seems decent enough. Will have to try it out properly one day, maybe try it with some landscapes or city scenes or something!

That they are! No editing at all.
