Nokia N9 Sample Photos

Post date November 14, 2011

I love photography.
After using some different cameras (DSLR and phone camera), I think this year I spend more time using mobile phone, not the DSLR. Sometime, I almost forgot that I still have Canon 450D. After having Nokia N9 in my hands, I wanted to test its camera features, just like what I did with my previous Nokia N8.

Nokia N9 does not have the best camera specifications compared to other mobile phone products (with camera). But, for a mobile photography, the photo quality is pretty good. Let’s look at Nokia N9 camera specifications:

8 megapixel camera with Carl Zeiss optics
Wide-angle lens, true 16:9 imaging
Large lens aperture F2.2 for better and faster photos in low light conditions
Dual LED flash
Digital shutter, continuous autofocus, touch-to-focus and exposure lock
Focal length: 3.77mm / 28mm, F number/Aperture: F2.2
Still images file format: JPEG/EXIF/XMP
Digital zoom up to 4x for still images and video

Now, let’s see how some photos taken using Nokia N9. These photos are not edited at all. Nokia N9 has also a simple photo editor to crop, rotate, brightness, and contrast, etc. I only captured some photos, and send to Flickr directly from the phone using built-in upload to Flickr feature.

5,000+ Flickr Photos

Post date December 18, 2009

This month, I saw that there are more than 5,000 photos in my Flickr photostream. In last October, there were 4,000 photos. So, in less than two months, there are more than 1,000 photos uploaded? Of course, not all of them are displayed for public. There are lots of private photos there. I think, the increasing number of photos happens after I purchased my Canon EOS 450D few months ago.

Here are some numbers related to my Flickr photostream — when I write this post:

5,403 photos in total: 3,872 public photos, 1,218 private photos, 18 friend-only photos, 262 family-only photos, 33 friend-and-family only photos.
In total, there are 5,400 photos and 3 videos. Right, Flickr also support videos.
About photo tagging, there are 2,914 photos with tags (2,489 untagged)
Sometime, I uploaded some photos with geotagging info. Also, I put some photos on the Flickr map. I have 849 photos geotagged.
I manage my photos in sets and 5,163 photos among total collections are in sets.
My photostream has 120 sets and 7 collections.
In December 2009, I uploaded 962 photos, but in September 2009 there was only one photos uploaded.
In total, I made 8 transactions (buying Flickr Pro credits). But, I only use two credits. The other credits were bought for my friends who want Flickr Pro upgrade (Flickr Gifts).

4,000+ Flickr Photos

Post date October 21, 2009

Last year, there were 2,000 photos in my Flickr photostream. And few days ago, I just noticed that I’ve been uploading another 2,000+ photos. So far, I’m satisfied with Flickr service — at least, I never experienced bad service. I bought a new camera few months ago (Canon EOS 450D), and I took more photos using it. The “problem” was that I don’t have too much time to upload many selected photos. This month, I decided to stop my other internet connection — yes, I use two internet providers in the last few months. The reason was simple: it was because I had to cut my internet budget.
I had no problem with my internet connection backup. In fact, I’m really satisfied with the upload speed. The upload speed also helped me working with my videoblog. Right now, I think I consider upload an download speed as “okay”. It’s not super fast. It’s okay. So, I need to be more patient dealing with uploading activity now. I’m using Telkom Speedy now.
Back to Flickr, I just realize that I need to work on the photo “sets” and “collections” management. Right now, I don’t have any “collections” for all my 4,000+ photos. All photos are managed only in “sets”. I’m still finding the best way to manage them.
