SonyEricsson X10i Panorama Pictures IV – Birmingham

Ok, so i wasn’t going to post any more of these shots, but after the awesome reception that the third edition gained i have decided to put up some pictures from my trip out to Birmingham city center yesterday
Now with these shots lighting was not so much the problem, (until the clouds came over later in the day). The problem however was the mass of human traffic walking around and spoiling a lot of the shots,

 

Shots from inside the train and the bullring, my personal favorite has to be the second, the bowing of the glass and metal really make this image stand out, the shot was taken first time perfect as well which is always a bonus.
Some shots from inside the top floor Selfridges (left)
Albert street under construction (center)
and back in the bullring with different natural lighting (right)
Now for the horizontal shots..
 Shot from inside the bullring around mid-day
Millennium point – as you can see here the X10 struggles to line up the detail on the building
outside selfridgs, alot of people in this shot all moving around at once made it a hard one to capture
The train on the return journey home, sadly i only had a few seconds to get this shot and the guy walking infront of the camera spoiled the details on the left hand side, otherwise i feel this would have been a brilliant picture
Final picture of the day the station just before the train above pulled in, i like the detail in this image, i feel it was very sucessfull
Maybe I will post more on the Burntwood area in which I live, its a beautiful day at the time of writing this so i wouldn’t mind going out soon and taking some more images

SonyEricsson X10i Panorama Pictures III

Here is what i think will be my final instalment of Panorama (beta) app pictures,

For these sets of pictures i tried to experiment using more complex backgrounds and angles of shooting, I found it quite interesting how the sky has come out a different shade of blue in nearly all of the images

  
   
And some more horizontal images

 

 

SonyEricsson X10i Panorama Pictures II

Continuing from my post the other day about downloading the Panorama (beta) app for the Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 here are some more shots with the app,

Ive been experimenting with the direction and use of the app and Ive found that tilting the phone on an axis works considerably better than moving your entire body, a few shots ive managed to acheive a 180′ panoramic view (

 

Contrast between moving the phone (right) and tilting it on its axis (left)
as you can see the left image has considerably more of a panoramic view



Another thing that i have found to be lacking in the app is the options that you receive with the normal camera app, the lack of night mode and exposure control makes natural light pretty much the only option to shoot in , indoor shots are quite difficult unless you have correct lighting 
180′ shot using the tilt method

as above facing the other way around

The first interior shot ive done with the panorama app 



More to come…..

SonyEricsson X10i Panorama Pictures

i have recently been messing around with a new Panorama app i got for my phone, the app is apparently exclusive to the x10 so i thought it to be worth posting up some pictures taken from it,

Over the last few days Ive been snapping a few panoramic pictures around and about,
a few from Birmingham City Center and the rest from Burntwood and around my house

I have to say its not the greatest panorama app in the world but it works well, I’m especially pleased with the shot of the pylon,

  
The app seems to work much better in vertical mode than horizontal, this is down to my hands not being steady i think as some of the images have got ‘wobbles’ and non matching sections
More shots to come…. 

Get the app for  XperiaX10 – http://www.xperiax10.net/2011/06/11/sony-ericsson-releases-panorama-app-for-xperia-x10/
