playground Posted October 31, 2015 Posted October 31, 2015 Hi! I just always wonder if I am the one and only, no joke, but are u also a photo messy? I seem like to collect thousands of them on my phone, are you all the same type like I am oder are you constantly sort them out or transfer them?
ScienceOrFiction Posted November 18, 2015 Posted November 18, 2015 Hey Quark! Do the 650+ pictures on my phone answer your question? I’ve never heard of the expression “photo messy” before, makes sense though . Sometimes I transfer hundreds of them to my computer, but time’s always too precious to look them all through (if you know what I mean)… I bet our community is much larger than you think, maybe we’re just not proper connected yet!
playground Posted November 18, 2015 Author Posted November 18, 2015 Well, yes - haha lets call it like that, I must admit I am one of those then! And i seem to be not alone Do you also sort them out on your phone as well, or just later on?
John Cuthber Posted November 18, 2015 Posted November 18, 2015 One. On the other hand, I usually have a camera with me. 1
MigL Posted November 20, 2015 Posted November 20, 2015 Six. I use a Windows phone so I have a picture of each of my five immediate family members associated with their phone numbers. Plus a picture of my two cats for my home phone ( landline ), but they never answer when I call home.
ScienceOrFiction Posted November 20, 2015 Posted November 20, 2015 @John Cuthber: you have just ONE photo on your phone? Regarding to your camera, are you a professional photographer or something like that? @MigL: surely I won’t call you a photo messi either And maybe you should train your cats a little harder, one day they’ll have to learn to answer the phone properly – just in case of an emergency!
John Cuthber Posted November 21, 2015 Posted November 21, 2015 (edited) I really only have one picture on my phone. I took it while I was on a brief holiday- intending to send it to someone. I'm not sure that worked It's not a "smart" phone. http://www.doro.co.uk/doro-phoneeasy-607.html My old 'phone died; I went into a shop and asked "what 'phone can I buy and walk out of here with?" The camera is a Fuji XP something-or-other. I previously has an Olympus something. I'm not a professional photographer, but I am a Union representative. I'm legally entitled to gather evidence... Also, I like to have a camera with me. Have you ever found yourself thinking "Drat!; I wish I had a camera"? Edited November 21, 2015 by John Cuthber
DevilSolution Posted November 21, 2015 Posted November 21, 2015 Live in the moment, dont spend time trying to capture it, your brain should do that for you. Also its relative to what your taking pictures of, my sister takes "selfies" all day while i'd only bother if it was a special occasion or seen a nice view......
MigL Posted November 21, 2015 Posted November 21, 2015 I take photos with either of my two Nikon DSLRs. Small CMOS imagers suck ( large number of pixels are noise ). Tried to train my cats to open the door when I lock myself out of the house. All they do is stare at me on the outside, banging on the door. Probably wondering if I've gone nuts.
CharonY Posted November 21, 2015 Posted November 21, 2015 Well, noise has getting better in the last years, and for some the optics start to become the bottleneck. I would probably not want to take anything smaller than a micro four third at this point. I do prefer the flexibility and portability of mirrorless, though. Zero photos on the cellphone (unless I forgot to delete a photo of a receipt I took years ago).
playground Posted November 21, 2015 Author Posted November 21, 2015 Charony - well, that is quite something, zero photos! congrats - I will never accomplish that! I am alsready sorting more or less for an app to hepl me sorting my pics a little bit more, any recommendations?
ScienceOrFiction Posted November 23, 2015 Posted November 23, 2015 @John Cuthber: Your choice of phone explains a lot And of course I’d rather have a proper camera with me, but I already got 2 advices to carry all the time, anything more would certainly complicate things for me. By the way, are you happy with your Fuji XP? @MigL: I had a non-digital Nikon once (I wonder what happened to it…). Looks like your cats got better things to do LOL. @playground: the only useful photo apps I know are QuickPic and Rat Pack Challenge (both Android), you may take a look at them…
playground Posted November 28, 2015 Author Posted November 28, 2015 Do not know both of them, can you sum up for me what they are actually doing, better than just downloading them for me? Would be nice ... What, I am envious, I don't earn any analogue anymore, long time ago it broke, then I just clinged to my phone, nothing more - but well as i can see its more than enough, at the moment I have ... like thousands of pics there, photomaniac I guess!
ScienceOrFiction Posted December 2, 2015 Posted December 2, 2015 Quickpic is kind of a gallery manager. You can thumbnail your pictures there, but also sort, copy, delete, crop or enlarge them. The Rat Pack Challenge on the other hand is more a game to sort out massive loads of files (not just photos) on your device. In my opinion it’s good fun Both applications are for free so there should not be any financial risk here...
playground Posted December 28, 2015 Author Posted December 28, 2015 And how does this app funtions in detail? Is is more like a game, just had a quick look on it on play store and seems very game-like, so more details would be nice to know before downloading it. kisai: Well, that is quote "nothing"
ScienceOrFiction Posted December 29, 2015 Posted December 29, 2015 Just download and try it. As I said, there is no financial risk at all. Trust me it's a lot of fun. By deleting your pictures, you get prizes and make the little hamster happy, after you sorted out enough photos. With the little nuggets and diamonds, you get, you can choose Hall of Fame pictures and share them with your friends on Facebook for example. I also use the app in other ways besides getting more disk space on my phone. On their facebook page they recommended to take pictures of the things you want to buy with the money you got for Christmas and then sort out which ones you want less. I think that's also a very usefull purpose to make use of the app. ;-)
playground Posted December 29, 2015 Author Posted December 29, 2015 @ Lepton: Thanx that is a good advice, I will of course give it a try! Sounds quite nice and easy going. And I am a fan of hamsters as well.
CaroCross Posted January 14, 2016 Posted January 14, 2016 I have thousands of photos on my phone too I never think about sorting them out and normally it doesn’t bother me until my phone requests deleting due to a lack of memory cell… I guess I will download such an app either, to finally get rid of unnecessary photos (like my aunties new bed-linen – sent on whats app and automatically stored!)
freekundli Posted August 17, 2016 Posted August 17, 2016 I have zero photos in my mobile phone because i have deleted every thing.
