IPad snaps.

Hello all,

Got myself an iPad mini with Retina display. What a delightful toy.

Used the camera at the Apple shop in Bath, and it is better, I think, than I expected.

Cheers,

Gandolfi.

I am having some difficulty posting from the iPad.
First I was unable to attach more than one image, and secondly, as you see, the image is upside down.
Back to the drawing board.

Take two. I rotated the image before attaching!
Oh dear it's still upside down.
I'm off for a stiff whisky.

I decided to think out of the box, and took a snap with the iPad the other way up, now with the home button/shutter on the RH side.
Fingers crossed.

Another nice set - and you do seem to have got the hang of this Silver Efex processing malarkey rather well! So, these were taken on this iPad thingy? How does it stack up overall against the RX100?

BTW, good to see that you've managed to get upright again, after your recent encounter with the firewater...;):D

Hi, Thanks. Only the black and white shot of the human was Silver Efex. Others were with Snapspeed app on the iPad. Snapspeed is another great app which seems tailor-made for me;)

I think overall the RX100 has the edge on quality:grin: but the iPad is such a tremendously fun thing to play with and such a convenient little communications thingy that it is difficult to use anything else at the moment:eek:

Anyway here is a classic example of the kitchen table studio genre (it says here), lit with a single overhead/behind light bulb with two subtle little bits of tinfoil reflector to each side.

Cheers,

Gandolfi.

..and a crop. Not bad quality!

This is a Scots Pine cone. It's 37 years old and you won't see another like it. It is hollow. Under natural conditions it would open up to allow the seeds to scatter. So I took all the little segments off one by one, hollowed it out, then re-glued the bits together jigsaw fashion. Each segment is unique.

Ah, dem halcyon days.:cry:

..the iPad mini with Retina display is a cross between Bruce Chatwin's moleskin note book and Wilfred Thesiger's Leica(well, almost):ROTFL::ROTFL::ROTFL:

impressive crops images gandolfi. It shows the iPad can indeed be a replacement for your point and shoot camera :)

Hi Mazor,

That lemon was not a crop but this one is!

I've only just realised why this is so much fun. What I have with this iPad is a point and shoot 5 x 4 camera, but without having to use a dark cloth:)

I am going away for a few days, and will be taking both my high and low class p/s cameras and it will be interesting to see which gets used the most.

Cheers,

Gandolfi.

the iPad revolution is upon us!! Already when I visit tourist sites, I see people whip out their full size iPADs to capture the moment rather than a point and shoot camera.

Have you tried using the latest Nokia Lumia 1520? It sports a 6" IPS display, is a smart phone and has an amazing 20MP sensor paired with Zeiss optics, and best thing is that is can capture JPG and DNG RAW simultaneously!
