Camera 360 has been my favorite. The pro version has a few more features than the free, but I'm happy with the free. Used black and white setting.

No, I don't mean for actually taking photos. I have a DSLR for that.

Ah, I see now. You mean apps that assist in photography. I guess I read it wrong. If you meant a camera app, you probably would have titled it, "camera app." Haven't come across anything as of yet, but will shoot it this direction when I do. Sorry for the misunderstanding.

Cam Calc is fairly useful..

Although I think it could use some usability and efficiency work.

Photoshop does that pretty well. I don't know why you'd need it on your phone since 1) you can't really do exposure bracketing with the built-in camera and 2) it is very CPU-intensive. It takes my quad-core about a minute to HDR a 12.1MP image with 3 shots.

Do you have a link to that on AppBrain or something? I just get a bunch of horrible translation apps when searching the Market.

As a very keen amateur have subscribed to this thread.

Don't really know what kind of apps you're looking for, but I found GoldenPic (I know it's on Android, but I don't know about iPhone) that shows you the golden hour, blue hour, sunrise, sunset, etc. It seems to work good and I took some great golden hour photos this past weekend (if I don't mind saying so myself)

it looks like they just have Android for now. I found the website here:
goldenpic.jebsapps.com

You also have 'Photography Trainer'.
It's a Paid App $1.99
To Quote from AppBrain:-
This app guides you step-by-step how to set your D-SLR to take the perfect shot. Capture amazing photos by truly understanding shutter speed, aperture & ISO. Dozens of sample photos, photography tips and tutorials. Night photography, sports, landscapes, portraits, HDR & more.
It's well loved with practically ALL comments getting 5 Stars.

Anyone here try that 'Photography Trainer' app? I wish they had a free version available to try out first.

It's very good. I just got it, and it is really good especially if you are totally new to DSLR photography. It gives you an intuitive flow of conditions and then gives details based on each level. I.E. Night time -> moving object -> fireworks.

Thanks guys...I think the MT4G camera has gotten a bad rap from Internet reviews. Yes it's not the market leader but it's not as bad as they portray it to be.

i think its HTC's best camera to date (when using 3rd party apps) the stock app compresses way too much

Ditto on being the best camera, but I haven't had too many issues with noticeable compression artifacts from the stock app. I might have to take a second pass on the pics with the bigger display at home.

sorry for not writing back fast enough...i use a combo of Camera 360 Ultimate and Vignette
all set to superfine and max res

Wow Lockeskidney those look really good. Did you retouch them at all with your computer or is that straight from the phone?

i think i resized some of them because i post to facebook (they were 720 wide) but other than that nothing

Low light conditions:

Better lighting:

Can you guys also post up if these are using stock cams, or camera 360, etc. and post up your settings. These pics you guys are putting up are stunning

camera 360 is nice. can't post my pictures yet though

I've taken a few pics of the same scene with the stock app and then Camera 360 (with max resolution/least compression), loaded them up on a computer to compare. For me, the Cam360 pics look only very slightly better than the stock app. I really can't even tell the difference in quality unless I zoom in a bit, and even then the difference seems rather slight.
Has anyone else taken photos of the exact same scene with both the stock and an alternative app to directly compare the difference?

a program that can make pic like this one

hello everybody
is there any program witch can make pic like this one

FishBowl ?? I dont think so , its just a photo taken from end of a stadium.
The Skew looks like a natural stadium look to me.
Galaxy Note can take this photo as any other mobile with 8MP camera can.
Go Ahead Shoot and lets know whats the difference

Most likely it is taken with a fish eye lens attached to the camera.
Check it here.

This is fisheye lens, without lens u can not make the photo look like this. I have fish eye lens.. used on galaxy s2.. u can search on ebay amazon for fisheye lens.

No, that's a Fisheye Lens/Conversor(Or the guy used an effect) and you can't take shots like that on the Note or any mobile(Whether it's an 8MP camera or an 30MP with some badass fullframe sensor) if you don't have the lens(As far as i know they only make fisheye converters to iPhone), what you can do is edit on Photoshop and try to simulate the fisheyes.

Tnx

yup its fisheye lens. they are selling it real cheap over at my place. only bout 5-6 usd.

This is from my s2. Its made with 6mp couse 8mp is to much black on wide. U can crop a little to look better.. this is not croped.

Captured these with no effects but used Camera JB+ app because of the auto-focus problem in original Sony camera app!(Any fix for it?)
Not much of a photo but still i think they're pretty good

Pictures are amazing but video quality is average. Not bad but not good too. I think a custom ROM will fix this

Camera is not the best. Slidepanorama poor and verry tricky. but HDR is great.

[Q] Camera Performance

Hey, M8 owners. I'm a note 3 owner looking at the M8. I came from the M7 but sold it mostly due to the camera performance and lack of expandable storage. The latter has been addressed and from I've read the camera has improved as well. However, I wanted to get the opinions of actual owners about the quality of photos taken with the M8. I'm especially interested in hearing opinions from those that frequently photograph their kids. So, please chime in with your experience.
TIA!

I came from the Note 3 and really the only thing that I miss is the camera. While the M8 camera has some cool gimmicks, the note 3 really took great photos. That said, the build quality and everything else about the phone I love - even with a smaller screen. I haven't looked back and the camera is sufficient enough for everyday use.
hope this helps.

Thanks for the response. It's a little discouraging, but I think I'll hit up a Verizon store with my daughter tomorrow and do some thorough testing of the camera. It sounds like some of the auto settings are less than ideal but that a few manual adjustments can really improve performance.

I own both devices and have to say that the Note 3 takes better pictures as far as I am concerned. What I will say is that I have a main line and a business line and the M8 is the phone I choose to be on the main line. Here is an example of pictures from both:

Cool, thanks. Looks good. I played with the M8 today. My daughter wasn't up to going to Verizon with me, but I think I got a good feel for the camera. Shutter speeds are fast and shot to shot tines were impressive. By no means am I a highly skilled photographer, I just want to be able to capture decent shots of my kids. I think I'll try to pick one up and give it a go. Thanks everyone for the feedback.

Here's two I took over the weekend. If someone wouldn't mind sharing their manual settings I would appreciate that. I just used HDR. These images on my desktop PC background are blurry and pixelated but look good enough for mobile viewing.
