I using a Sony K800i Camera Phone at the minute as my Mum has borrowed my camera so the white balance settings are pretty basic. When i get my Samsung Camera back next week ill have a play about with the white balance. Smile

I'm impressed that your phone even has a white balance setting. Mine just has auto which is why the colors look so different in the setup picture.

Well it arrived a few hours ago and I'm really impressed at what you get for the price.

I only got it out for a quick look as haven't got time to experiment tonight.

It's amazing the difference you get from just postitioning the lighting slightly differently.





Will have more of a go at the weekend.

Here are a couple of test pictures I took with my new lens I mentioned in the Christmas thread. I'm still working on getting the hang of things.

These are some Depth of Field tests.

The first picture was taken at f 2.8 with Ben and Darth as the focus point.



This one is 2.2 with the troopers in focus.



and for fun, here is one I took of my wife's birthday cake the other day at f1.8

Nice! Wicked pictures Shawn, that lens has some neat features!

Jay - I really like the figure on the white background and as others have said - for the LL ref part of the site it would look really nice like this, nice sharp figure detail on clear backgrounds

Do you have a blank name plate buddy on its own?

A few more edits

Original



After with raw white background
