Samsung vibrant dark pictures test

[robo21]

Robo, something in your post just clicked for me. Tell me if this is the problem. All of the pics people have been posting are of still shots. The pics I've been trying to take are of WILD children. Perhaps that's the problem. The night mode maybe doesn't do well with subjects in motion?

BINGO! You hit the nail on the head!

Well it isn't me that is moving. It's the subjects in the photo. I take pretty decent pics with regular cameras. I'm a "second" for a professional photographer and use one of her DSLR cameras at events. So I guess I am just used to great quality. My own personal camera is a pretty high end point and shoot. I took these:

Very nice shots Robinelli!

I came to the Vibrant with reasonbly low expectations so I was delighted with the results.

Here's a recent shot of our 19 month old "puppy" with 2 adult Boxers - he will continue to fill out for another year and a half.
Taken with Vibrant.

are we going to start posting regular pictures in this post taken with the vibrant because i have some i can share. and the camera TO ME is really good ive taken pix while walking and no blur at all its very clear and for a phone i dont think we should be asking for more and im coming from a G1 so i know how amazing this camera is compared to phones that we had 2 years ago imagine what we'll have in 2012

after reading some of these i had to immediately go outside and prove that this camera is awesome.

I even got stung by a bee taking these.

Also keep in mind that outside its dusk (not optimal lighting), and its not windy but i'd say theres a soft brease blowing. i had to wait every few seconds for the wind to die down to take a shot. also keep in mind on the bee picture i had not only the wind moving the flowers, but the bee was moving as well. all in all i feel i took some stellar shots. keep in mind i have trouble keeping my hands super steady, and i suck at photography.

Nope.

After you upload and save your photo to photobucket click on "share" and look for the

and copy and paste that here. It will work, you just need to get the hang of it.

Alternatively you can click on the little yellow box above this text (square with mountain) which is for inserting an image and put the "http link" e.g. http://kmcmachineworks.netfirms.com/android/RegularMode.jpg

Then you will end up with this - which is a little too big:

Thats why I took them off so as not to mess up this threads margins.

OK, so you can either resize the photo to 800x600 (as below) before uploading to photobucket or use photobucket to reduce the size of the image.

This was resized using photobucket's embedded resizing tool to 640x480

This Camera is GREAT!! Didn't think I'd find a better phone/camera than I had on the HD2, but the camera on this animal is outstanding WITHOUT FLASH!!

Midnight Shots -

 

[SamsungVibrant]

With ISO night settings as great as these who needs a crappy little LED flash? Now it's clear why the "flash" was omitted... it's unnecessary and obsolete.

Drama queen, you would start controversey. J.K

In all seriousness, I have to disagree. I do not think LED flash is unncessary, nor is it obsolete. On the contrary it is a newer feature on phones.

Here is the undeniable truth, anyone who says otherwise has an over inflated opinion about the night mode feature on the Vibrant.

So the truth is, night mode works fantastic, AS LONG AS THERE IS SUFFICIENT LIGHT already pre-existing in the environment. The Vibrant is able to amplify this pre-existing light, and produce nice night time images. Again, I will stress, there needs to be some light source.

Now, here is where the Vibrant has a major handicap. If there is not sufficient pre-existing light in the background, the Vibrant will produce dark unusable photos at night.

The Vibrant is a hip new phone, obviously young people are going to be using it, it should have had a flash.

Case in point, I was recently at a gorgeous bar in LA. The entire place is dark, and only lit with light from Candles and fireplaces. The only area with actual light is the bar itself. Taking photos of friends, sitting right next to me, or standing 2 ft in front of me came out basically pitch black. The candlelight and light from the fireplaces did not provide sufficient pre-existing light, for the Vibrant's night mode to be able to amplify the light.

Any other phone with a flash, like my prior HTC or bold 9700, both take stunning photos at night, especially of close subjects in dark settings, something the Vibrant simply cannot do, unless you provide sufficient background light.

For me, the Vibrant is useless as a camera at night when I am at social events. Oddly, many of the places I go, are very dimily lit, many with candles, or very very dim ambient lights.
