Why HDR
------------
Real life scenes often have a wide range of light intensity, which cannot be captured by a camera. In a photo of such a scene the bright areas look washed out and everything in shadows is pictured as a black spot with no details. The HDR technique allows you to capture details in bright and dark areas and have them merged in a single photo.
HDR photography is widely adopted by professional photographers. Wouldn't it be nice to have an HDR in mobile phones?
The problem is that HDR requires taking several differently exposed images in series, which must be precisely aligned and then fused. In order to be usable for real life scenes, the HDR feature should include moving object detection and hand shake compensation to avoid or minimize the ghosting in the final image. That requires a lot of computational resources and makes a challenge even for professional desktop HDR software.
Almalence has brought its expertise in professional HDR software to mobile phones. Our HDR fusion algorithms compensate hand shaking and detect moving objects in the scene, suppressing ghosting artifacts. At the same time, the algorithms are quick enough to provide comfortable processing time on mobile devices.

GET THIS AMAZING APP HERE
Interface
When you launch the app, you get a menu system that lets you choose
one of four options: capture, gallery, collage and share. Diving into each,
the UI is generally what you'd expect. The buttons are self-explanatory,
and you get a regular phone camera-style viewfinder.
Filters
PowerCam offers a decent set of filters, most of which are a bit too over-the-top
for my own taste. You get a standard set of minor filters to lightly tweak the coloring
of the scene that are quite nice, but the rest are a bit out there and I really don't
see many people using them. For the ones that I liked, it seemed to work well enough.
It should also be noted that there is a "no filter" mode for when you have the app open
and want a "regular" shot.
Tilt-Shift
The tilt-shift method, if you're not familiar, is something usually accomplished with
a special camera lens to produce interestingly focused images. The main subject
is sharply in focus, and everything else is quickly out of focus right next to it.
On a smartphone, its all done in post-processing. PowerCam seems to do a pretty
good job, and you can really get some good shots if you spend some time with it.
Panorama
I was surprised by the panorama quality. Using the app on my Galaxy Nexus,
it captured them more consistently and much quicker than the built-in panorama
feature of the Android 4.x camera.
Collages
Something that's going to be very user-dependent is the collage feature.
You can select several pictures you've taken and form them into framed multi-shot pictures.
The UI is friendly enough, just select from your picture list which ones you want,
and it'll arrange them randomly with a frame. You can shuffle the pictures around
and select the frame style, but I was hard-pressed to find frames that I actually enjoyed.
Sharing
PowerCam has built-in sharing functionality to Twitter, Facebook and Tumblr.
Wish that it would use a regular sharing menu and let you use other apps (like Google+),
but it doesn't really matter, as you can share from your Gallery app to anything installed
on your phone after the fact.

Event started around 2 PM China time (11.30 AM India Time) and the fans were excited to the fullest. We met fans from many colleges, universities and many other people at the Hotel and the event hall.
Registration counter at the event- Only for media and few fans as almost all fans were already enrolled in hotel.
Small bunch of people (less than 2% of what we had in actual launch hall)
Just before the event was started....empty chairs but there were none after all fans and media person entered. We had massive crowd, fans and media persons during the launch and was a mega hit.
Some gathering but only 1/3rd here as event was not yet started (panorama effect)
Entire event was presented and Phone was launched by Honor Global President, Mr. George Zhao.
Phone design and everything is just awesome but many of you may feel the cost of the phone is little bit on higher side but trust me that justify the phone design and features.
Phone runs on Android 6.0 out of the box with screen resolution of 1440X2560 and 5.2 inch display, powered by Octa core HiSilicon Kirin 950 processor. Phone is packed with a massive 4 GB RAM coupled with 64 GB internal memory. Phone display looks stunning and design is somewhat reworked and looks really stylish. Phone feels extremely premium with glossy finish and is curvy so fits the palm well and is very sleek.
Phone also supports fast charging with USB type C port.
Phone is priced at 3699 RMB and is available on Tmall.com, vmall.com JD.com and suning.com

[Tips] How to get wide angle photography on your Honor flagship models

Honor/Huawei phones, especially the flagship models, have kind of made a name for themselves as tech "beasts", jam-packed with the latest technology, cutting-edge hardware, almighty cameras, and fancy designs. I've been using Huawei or Honor phones for several years now, but I'd never call myself techy, and sometimes I'm still a bit daunted by all the advanced tech they announce – okay it sounds super cool, but I won't be needing all that in my life.
That said, for the things I do use my phone for (like taking photos), I'm a bit of a perfectionist. When something doesn't quite turn out the way I want it to, I'll keeping playing around with the settings until the result is exactly how I'm imagining it.
As it turns out, a lot of this "beast" tech was made for people just like me (perfectionists who want things to be just that little bit better) and it's much easier to find and use than I imagined. Here's a couple of super useful features I discovered on the recently released Huawei Mate 20 and Honor Magic 2. I think everyone should play around with them:
Wide angle photography
I'm not a pro photographer, but I love taking pictures – it's a nice way to preserve memories, otherwise I'd forget about all the fun things I did last month! I often find, though, that the camera's view is too small, and I can't fit everything I want in an image. Especially when I'm shooting landscapes, or really tall or wide buildings.
I've tried using panorama to get around this issue, but I always find the stitching is a bit uneven and parts of the photo look really distorted.

OK, so this example isn't quite so bad because I corrected it with some post editing like I do with a lot of my photos (did I mention I was a perfectionist?) But if you've ever tried shooting a street or a narrow stream, or even just try googling "panorama distortion", you'll know what I mean.
Anyway, this is why I'm super thrilled with the new wide-angle lens! As its name suggests, you can see a wider angle of view through it, i.e. you can fit more into the frame. It shows up as "0.6x" on the interface – basically because it's like zooming out to under 1x, as opposed to zooming in to 2x or 5x.
Here're some images I took on a recent trip to China, so you can see what I mean:

I know it looks incredible, and even seemingly undoable. But this is real magic – you can see how much more view is included under a wide angle lens. It's really useful for landscapes and architecture, when the scene is too broad or when you can't go too far from the subject. It can actually be used for street photography and portraits too, if you know how. Google it for inspiration, and then you've just got to try it, play with the camera. You might be surprised by how professional the results look!
As I mentioned, it's way quicker and easier to use than panorama too. One touch on the screen will do the trick:

[Snap & Share] HONOR 9A Camera Test - Check the Photos

I recently received the new HONOR 9A and wanted to share some of the photos I've been able to take with it.
The Main camera is 13MP with a 5MP ultra-wide camera so it's a little difficult to compare with say the HONOR 20 or 9x Pro but that doesn't mean that it doesn't capture decent photos. All the photos in this post are unedited with the exception of some cropping which doesn't interfere with or alter the photo quality!!

So to start you can see above the 9A Camera performs well taking a variety of photos. Views, Pets and Flowers all captured beautifully in bright and crisp detail. I was pleasantly surprised at the clarity of some of the Snaps I've managed to get so far.
I found outdoors in the sun was the place to be with this camera. The blue sky and light reflection in the lake is a perfect example of the colour and detail it can capture. It doesn't always fair so well dealing with lower lit conditions but there are plenty of more expensive phone cameras out there that the same can be said for
I see this phone and camera as ideal for someone looking to snap a few memories on family walks and days out or a youngster just starting their tech adventure and taking photos of all the random everyday objects that I now regularly find in my daughters gallery.
Simple and no nonsense is how I would best describe the HONOR 9A camera. There are few extra features although there is a cool Panorama mode and a whole range of editing tools in the gallery including the brilliant colour "Splash" tool. There is actually one edited photo in this post. Below is an untouched and a lightly edited version of the same herb garden done using the 9As editing tools. Brightness and Shadows can easily be tweaked and adjusted if you feel you need a little more warmth and colour to a photo
Finally I wanted to show you a comparison between the Main 13MP Camera and the Ultra wide 5MP Camera. As you can see below with both shots taken from the exact same spot, there is quite a difference in the width.
Again I was hugely impressed with the quality of both shots and you have to look quite hard to spot any real difference in photo detail. Overall I am very impressed with what I've seen from the HONOR 9A camera so far. It does everything you need for an "on the go" phone camera and will be absolutely perfect for a lot of people. For a phone that is currently available at the ridiculous price of £129.99 the camera was never expected to compete with the more expensive models but you are definitely getting more than what you pay for. Speaking of which I saw this little bargain earlier..
I am looking forward to testing out the camera further by taking a much wider range of shots and also comparing the photos with other HONOR Cameras. So what do you think of the HONOR 9A? For me it is definitely a bargain and comes with a camera that has far exceeded my expectations. Cheers for Reading!!
