i've always been disappointed at how my pics always turn out with noise and grains. i've always doubted that my phone's cam can do better. even in bright light situations, there would always be noises, until i took this photo. in the whole year i've had my phone, i've never hat a pic like this, with bright COLORS(lol), sharp contrast, and, minimal noise. finally! a GREEN pasture!

EDIT: I almost forgot... it was taken with a k608i(i's not 2.0MP, but it'll do..), yesterday. no flash, 0.00 exposure compensation, "automatic" white balance setting.

i didn't use post-processing because the exposure time & colours from my k800i were already perfect sometimes post-processing makes your photos look worse if you don't know what your doing.

Here's a screen shot of the exif data for my photo. There was no post-processing done; I simply used Aperture to catalogue this photo.

To answer your question, last time i couldnt read someones exif data i got flamed.
When you upload to esatos servers you lose all the exif data. It depends on how strict people really want me to be. I would like all pictures uploaded tp something other than Esatos servers for this competition to be honest, because for all we know some of these pics coudl be took with a digi cam and uploaded to the Esato server, we'd have no way of proving otherwise.
What does everyone think?

true don juan. exif is lost whenever we upload a pic in this thread.

my photo is untouched btw. no editing done.
i can post it (also the feb entry) in the esato camera section so that exif can be seen

edit: here is the exif info link http://www.esato.com/phonephotos/viewphotos.php?pid=10337

Good day to all!

I think the photos should be uploaded to the Esato Camera Photo section and either linked to this thread, or uploaded again in this thread with a link to the Camera Phone Section below it.

That way its also very easy to access the data because Esato has done all the work for you. Maybe something you could implement for April!
