Not too bad for a photo taken with phone...

Took this shot while we played hookie from work on Tuesday and went for a lazy day at the beach. The haze had not burnt off yet so the light was not too bad. I did a little noise reduction in LR3 but that's about all. Well, I also converted to B&W.

I think it looks like an ad for a vacation destination.

    It is gorgeous.

    I know you didn't plan this shot, but it's too bad the people and clutter are in the background, otherwise it would be stellar.

    And dare I say, she has incredibly beautiful skin and curves. :D

    Thanks all. I don't take very many pics with my phone but I was laying there looking at her and thinking how beautiful she looked so I decided to snap a shot. Thing is, I couldn't really see how it turned out because it was so bright out and there was too much glare on the screen. I completely forgot about the shot until today. Checked it out and was really impressed. For those wondering. I used my HTC Inspire 4G. It has an 8MP camera. I had to use the NR tool in LR because the shadows were a bit noisy but overall, not bad. Grabs decent video too.

    I can see a thread in the Flea Market now:

    For trade:
    Nikon D-3s for a Inspire Cell Phone or similar. rolleyes1.gif

    Does prove a point though...you either have an eye for this or ya don't!

    Really nice.

    i always heard that the best camera is the one you have with you.

    Gorgeous shot. Gorgeous model (but you already knew that).

    Did you do anything to the skin tones? lovely. thumb.gif

    great shot. only nit pick - maybe try to get rid of the running person in the top left corner. Don't think too many people were looking up that far though ;-)

    HTC Inspire 4g. I believe it's the same as the HTC Desire.

    The B&W conversion adds to the beauty.

    I have a new HTC Thunderbolt with an awesome camera. I can't believe how far the cell phone camera has come!

    Very lovely image!

    When you come to a door... walk through it.
    If it's locked... find an open window.

    My first digital camera was a 3.2 MP Nikon Coolpix that at the time was around $800. Now you can get a 8 MP camera phone for a fraction of that price plus have web, twitter, FB, and all that other stuff on it. Technology is awesome.

    Oh and nice shot. :D
