The Official Esato Camera Phone Shootout Competition May 2011: Hobbies

Posted by io_bg

Hello! I chose this theme as it's quite broad. You can take a picture of any of your hobbies - mobile phones (

), cycling, drawing, stamp collecting, etc. It's up to you to choose a hobby of yours and to capture it in the best possible way

. The rules are the same as always:

http://www.esato.com/phonephotos/

Let the competition begin now! Good luck to all participants

P.S.: it's the first time I'm opening such a thread, I hope everything is all right with it. And big thanks to everyone who voted for me in the previous competition

don't worry, it's not all about photo quality, your composition is good

Posted by io_bg
Nice pic, VLADISLAUS! Now worries about the quality, I can see it's a low-light picture (plus, I don't vote the pictures in the Photos section according to their quality as some other members in our forums do

)
When I first said I've an idea what to take picture of I meant something else but I think this one does the trick as well

Sony DSC-W150. 8 MP + 5x optical zoom. Even if the pics it takes are good I'm really looking forward to upgrading it to a DSLR camera

Posted by Bonovox
Oh cool. Well as you can see mine is Sony and its new on the market. The 16 mega pixel images are stunning as is the full HD movie mode. Has full manual too

Sounds great! In fact, some time ago I liked the NEX-3 but then realised that it's E-mount will limit the number of lenses I could use so for now I've chosen to buy the good ol' D90

Posted by Bonovox
Nice go for it

Posted by io_bg
If I had the money I'd buy it instantly

Posted by Bonovox
Gone a little quiet for photos this month

It's trending the last few months to enter in the last week.
And I forgot my spam-round with the signature link.
