So here are a few of my first pics shot with the Nokia Lumia 920. I should start by saying that I import all my pics into Lightroom but here I did minimal adjustments, in fact just a bit of contrast and a crop on the colour images and cropping only on the mono ones. The colour pics were shot using the default camera app in 16:9 aspect but to me they didn’t suit the subject so I cropped to 3:2. I converted the mono shots using the Camera 360 app which I downloaded.
I’ve uploaded the full size jpegs for you to look at and I must say that the image quality is exceptional for a phone cam. It did suffer a little in high contrast situations where it’s dynamic range just can’t match that of larger sensors, but as you can see here there’s not much to grumble about in terms of IQ at this stage.

It’s time to get my Mono Monday series back up and running, so here is a pic taken at a churchyard near my place of work…and it was shot on film!
I’ve been a fan of all things lomography for quite some time but never had the motivation to get back into the film world…until very recently that is. In fact it was on my birthday that my interest for film was properly re-ignited when I was given a lomography Diana Mini as a present, along with two rolls of Ilford HP5 black and white film. This photo is one of the more successful frames from the first roll. I’m also borrowing a cheapo film scanner in order to transfer to the PC.
Expect to see more Lomo shots from me here in the future, both mono and colour.

I see it is also Dec 24th, so ill finish by wishing everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
