Some pleco pictures taken with my handphone..

**benny** · 30th Sep 2007, 02:32

Hi guys,

Just thought I give it a go and see how these pleco pictures turn out.

L137 Hypostomus soniae

L174 Hypancistrus sp.

L128 Hemiancistrus sp.

L075 Peckoltia sabaji

Ok this is not a pleco. But I thought I'll just add it here anyway since it's so chubby and cute.

Corydoras sterbai var. "Albino"

Comments and critique welcome!!

Cheers,

The L174 Hypancistrus sp. is actually taken with the P1i. Not so good. The AF is terribly slow and there is no manual focus. Shame.

Danio....I try but no promises.

Stress ah!

The now defunct Sony Ericsson P990i. Not too bad a phone. 2 megapixel camera with flash.

benny, your shots always impresses me.

I didn't know that the P990 can do such wonders... Maybe i should take out mine and see what i can do with it...

Nice shots. I never knew hand phone camera can shoot so nice pictures.
My shots with my hand phone never turn out so nice

I was shock too when you told me the pictures were taken with your handphone.

I sense a rush of fellow forumers to get the phone..hahaha

**benny** · 10th Oct 2007, 23:34

My camera phone....

JUST KIDDING!!!

Most photos were take with the Sony Ericsson P990i phone. I think the EXIF data is still embeded in the images. The L174 should be taken with the Sony Ericsson P1i phone.

One more that I missed out.

Cheers,

haha... nice one benny... i mean the picture of your "cameraphone"..

Anyway... just goes to show a lot of nice pictures goes to understanding the techniques behind how and why we shoot. Not what kind of camera we own.

**Shadow** · 11th Oct 2007, 08:02

wow can't believe it was from the camera, though I do able to see noise especially dark color.

**StanChung** · 11th Oct 2007, 21:03

Hahaha! almost fell over laughing seeing the camera phone strapped to an eos1. lol.

Those shots are very good indeed. Benny, what's the setup like? Did you use other external flash?

**benny** · 11th Oct 2007, 21:41

No setup. Just shoot with existing light. Probably can do better if I do a dedicated shoot. I tried shooting cichlids too, albeit not too successfully.

Critical sharpness is lacking. Then again, it was rather dim. Maybe I will plan a better setup to test the limit of the phone when I have the time.

Cheers,

**StanChung** · 11th Oct 2007, 23:35

This is already amazing. I mean most would not be able to get a pic like this even with a dslr. The only thing is the colour noise in the shadow area is quite bad. Let's see it in better lgiht.
