Looking Over the Yarra

Originally uploaded by wolfcat_aus

Well not much to post about today on the blog… I am sure that stuff has happened in the world of nokia for example, but I have been head down bum up in the world of Actionscript, xml, postcodes and Weather Stations.

So it was a late night at the office for me. At least a: I got a seat on the train one advantage I guess I catching the 8:15 home and b: I got some nice photos on the way.

Oh yeah and to top today off, our landline and most of the neighbours from what we can tell will be out for the next 2 days.

For those that wonder, the photos are taken on the night mode setting on the phone and standing very still.  Also aiming to get the motion of the train, means getting the shot in focus and waiting for the train to move.  Still the images worked out very well, esp as these are another case of what you see is what you get, they have not been altered in anyway shape or form.

  1. nice shot – what was your white balance setting and did you use flash?

  2. No, I never use the flash on the phone outdoors. all you do is light up the foreground.

    The shot was taken simply with the camera on night mode and a very steady hand. The two train shots were taken just as the train was moving out of the station as well. Knowing that the camera would grab the motion blur. All the setings are on this page…
