Working on the theory that a lot of a photograph is about the moment rather than the equipment I decided to have a go at taking a few photos on my now semi worn out HTC sensation phone.
It’s not the first time I have shot raindrops on flowers, but is first time using a mobile, so I was wondering what people think of them. Do they work for you?, Do you like them? Do you ever use a mobile instead of regular camera?.

I always check the laundry basket, just to be sure, after once finding a freshly washed TV controller when going to hang out the washing… Ruddy kids.

Bump – or should I assume she was mistaken, Snafu?:)
Sorry Charlie, a touchy subject at the moment – I lost my (horrible) HTC thing a couple of weeks ago (I totally admit it, so the doghouse is my home atm…) and she has only just admitted she has ‘mislaid’ her precious iPhone (not lost, oh no, it isn’t lost, just…mislaid. One of the kids was probably playing with it, put it down when the power ran dry – so about twenty minutes – and won’t say anything for fear of being told off for playing games and letting it run flat. They don’t half use the power quick, don’t they, iPhones…).
Just had to get a new phone for the landline since no one ever returns the bloody thing to the base station – and its not like it is just one they fail to return: there are four floating around, although two need new battery’s (I think someone shorted them out trying to use them for something else but, once again, no one is admitting a thing so all I have are theory’s…). Made sure it was wired in some the bu33ers couldn’t walk off and hide it! Guy in the shop thought I was mad, asking for one with a cable.

That is something that can be looked at with sadness because with the technology today it is unusual not to be able to get something from a poor slide or negative.
O trust me I do every time I have a dark pic on my memory card that I can restore.

The thing is Jim in the years before photoshop I must have put my thumb through hundreds of Kodachrome slides because they were to dark.:stupid:

This HTC Sensation I have dies in no time.
Had no problem like that with my HTC One: just with the Windows OS, which was lousy and so unsupported it was unbelievable. Managed to mislay it somewhere and go back to my old Android Samsung.

Thanks for all the kind comments I will have a play at some point and make them lighter. I am also looking at going for a Samsung either the S4 or wait a bit for S5. This HTC Sensation I have dies in no time.
I hope you don’t mind but this only took a few minutes in elements.

Hmm, I can see who wears the trousers in that house!!
Watch it matey. Wouldn’t want an Apple thing, but she does. Wouldn’t want to wear skirts either, but she has never said I couldn’t…

Um, and since it is going to a cloud to be paid for by the month (or something) then it will no longer be a budget gadget.
Unless you aren’t bothered about it being up to date…
What I have SNAFU has served me well for a good few years. and is good enough for my needs.

Photoshop is in my opinion, the best budget gadget out there
