In my mind, Arez and Chili stand out as the two most creative contributors so far (not for quantity but quality). Blackspot and Marlonski both are prolific posters, and both excellent photographers also, not far behind Arez and Chili at all. I left them out only for the sake of brevity.

If I add blackspot and marls (they certainly deserve it) it will become unweildy and others like Numb, Etaab, will feel left out. They are not as prolific these days, but both are good photographers too. I would have like to add myself, but that would just be egotistical I'm more technical than creative - leave me to discover how to do certain things (like using external lenses or how to take IR photos) and leave Chili et al to contribute the real art.

So sorry if I offended anyone, but I think I'll leave it the way it is. If anyone feels different feel free to edit it, since wikipedia is designed to be updated and corrected by peers.

@max - I guess I am Esato's MOST prolific image uploader at present After Benglaboy relinquishued the post last year . . . Yeah mostly were more on Quantity as I don't have any IDEA what Quality means

I took this one opposing a glass (cover) . . . I am curious why everytime I took some photos of the K7 having a glass fronting the OBJECT, the image appears NOT that sharp

Here's an example:

you are that mate! But some of your pics are very good. Some are just tests of the camera that you've done to get member feedback on technique, so no-one should expect those to have artistic merit. Those sort are just examples, not intended to be "pretty pictures" as such.

I'm much the same - many of my pics are just for interest sake and not very artistic at all.

@max - . . . and I just did ! Had my lunch here 2 days ago




I notice that the image becomes blurry the farther it gets Compare the sharpness of the (hand) railing (below left) to that of the small cart on the right side inside the store . . .

Look how the fiery red colour came as purple.

@max - I feel like I'm in a battle of the bands, getting a roaring round of applause after each number... from each and every one of my relatives for whom I bought tickets! I'm especially inclined to laugh at the "expert" part. But I'm touched, bud, this is the brotherhood I was talking about a few pages back.

@jojo -- I can perfectly understand what you mean when you say you don't have an idea about what pictorial quality means. There are so many levels of appreciation, depending on the viewer. Some of those levels are even conflicting.

The K700i's VGA camera can't be expected to reproduce far objects with clarity. For such precision a dedicated camera with a proper lens is needed.

@chili - Yeah. Sorry about that as I was used in capturing images from my K750i back then . . . same with my Digicam. You take good pics dude, have you altered your K700i in some way? Or have used a special software for that? If ever that will GO on for sale here at Esato one day, I am very certain that many members (foreign included) will BID for it

@jojo - No mechanical alterations whatsoever -- My K700i's no different from anybody else's. And up until yesterday, I had been using camera version 3.9 (fw v. R2L001).

I had to have my K700i reflashed yesterday at SESS Glorietta, to bring it back to life. Now I've got the latest fw -- R2CA001 -- and with it camera v. 3.10. About the only good thing that came of it, camera-wise, was spotting the elderly man whose pic I posted yesterday.

(R2CA001, btw, has lovely fonts for Java apps. Now it's much nicer to read via TequilaCat Bookreader! Overall menu navigation has sped up, and file transfer via DSS-xx has improved by about 1kbps. I'll buy myself a BT dongle now he heh...)

There's the occasional Neat Image, but with b&w photos, there's hardly any need for that. I like b&w noise.

A major weakness of the K700i cam is unnatural color reproduction. But if you know how colors harmonize and clash, in terms of proportion and shading, it will hardly be noticed. Look at my "purple dunkin, purple umbrella" pic a few pages back. The colors are garish, there is noise everywhere, and you can't read ANY of the signages due to overexposure. But it comes across as coherent, and the faults are overridden somehow.
