Let’s share here our nicest pictures
For techniques, tricks and “how to get the most out of our FP camera”, we’ve got that topic already :
The topic here should be only a nice gallery…
(which may convince people that FP camera has potential?! )

I have many great photos from my FP, but wanted to share this one. I’m not a great cameraman, but this came out well
I happy with many pictures I have taken. I do miss though to be able to do more stuff manually with the camera. It keeps focusing, whitebalancing and setting exposurelevels. I know the camera can do better, its up to the software!
I usually don’t take a lot of pictures, but I took this one just to share with you guys. It’s Campus Arenberg in Leuven (Heverlee). It’s take from the point of view where the departement of computer sciences is. Added a little filter to give it an even better look
Just the default camera app with a filter from the default editing menu
Absolutely ok for a Smartphone, I’d say. Taken with the Cyanogenmod Standard Photo APP.
Great idea! I took some photos during the summer, trying to get the best out of this camera. I had some troubles in the low light (isn’t the flash a little bit weak?), but with good lights condition I took some nice shoot (at least I think so)
Sunrise @ Riccione (Rimini, Italy) on the Adriatic sea (w/ some brightness and contrast regulation).
I’m also trying the panorama (as usual some troubles with auto-iso in the sunset), but still good enough during the day.
Monte Ventasso (Reggio Emilia, Italy)
Thanks for your shares
The pictures you habe shared look great! Mine were taken in Germany’s Rhine-Ruhr area.
Thanks @madde, I’m sorry for the low res but I had to download them from g+ cause I don’t store them on the phone. They look great, beautiful places… Did u try the panorama mode? I’m unable to get a High resolution…

I think the resolution of 3088*535 is the maximum that the APP is able to process.
Ahh that’s why… hope a sw update could imporve this aspect:D
Being ‘old school’ I’m still stuck with the idea that a phone is a device for phone calls, a camera a device for taking pictures. So taking photos with my phone is a kind of bonus and I don’t expect professional quality
However, I find the FP good enough hardware-wise (lens, sensor and the OS part of the software). I have switched from the default app to OpenCamera, though.
Here’s a pic from a stroll on the beach in the lovely September weather a few days ago, and a close-up on a flower in the garden:
This is a part of a panorama, so it has just 488 px in height. I don’t understand why the resolution of panoramas is less than n * the native resolution of the camera. (Could anyone point me to a Camera app which actually stitches together high resolution images?)
A played with it a bit because lighting conditions were rather difficult, but for a snapshot of King’s Landing, I consider this just to be OK.
there are a lot of these apps for your computer, if thats helps… So you can just take some “high-res” pictures and stitch them together on your pc…
Thanks, @madde, I know. I do use my for “proper” panoramas, but it would be nice if I could use the always-with-me -like-camera for that, as well. I don’t see why it goes down to ~500-400 px in height for panoramas. Should be possible to get slightly more out of it, I think.
ah very cool! Was this a coincidence or were you there specifically to visit locations of the show?
Depends on how you see it. Let’s say I had something important to do. And enjoyed it. FTR, the whole region is FULL of lions. And some dragons. (Whoever is interested why: go read some books. Or Wikipedia, if you must. Books are much better. They tell history with a storyline… and sometimes an agenda. As do sculptors.)
(Ok, I admit, that was shot with a DLSR. Not technically possible without a proper lens.)
(Cut from a FP pic. Difficult conditions, quite strong contrasts as well, and some unwanted effects because of this. Not really nice: see the blur around the lion’s head? That’s from HDR / camera movement. )
…and, in this case, even decapitated. FP standard camera, with build-in-effects - BW filter and a frame, I think. OK’ish, isn’t it? (Please note that no Sphinx was harmed during this production, and AHA was monitoring all activities.)
Bottom line: I did not expect to much of a 3.5mm lens with a phone attached to it. But for a quick snap and a social-media-whatever snap, it’s OK. I’m happy with most of the results, even though focussing under dynamic conditions can be a bit difficult. The panorama height is a joke, and HDR is a really bad joke. If you ever shot HDR with any dedicated camera, you won’t go back to the Android/Fairphone version. Never.
BTW, I also installed the “Camera2” from F-Droid, which is actually a bit better in most circumstances, but has the habit of crashing every now and then. And I got ObscuraCam from The Guardian Project, which helps you to pixelate faces if you want to protect the privacy of people in a shot you want to share publicly. The latter works as intended, but the UI is sometimes a bit lagging.
