Colour me amazed

January 21st, 2009 by Dave@LGUK
 
Following on from my recent post about Multicolr, I thought I'd highlight another great service from Idée Their Image Search Lab allows users to upload or link a photo and, in the same manner as Multicolr will return Flickr photos that match its colour pallette. Here's the LG logo run through the finder ...

BumpTop

April 10th, 2008 by Dave@LGUK
 
I'm a bit of a sucker for touchscreen technology - the possibilities are enormous and can take us away from the decades-old paradigm of keyboards and numeric pads. Of course, we're still at the start of this transition but it's exciting to see what pioneers are doing. Over at Tech E Blog they've got a video of BumpTop, which is a bit like Microsoft's much-talked about Surface: I like the ability to put lots of things in one pile but the really nice stuff is the 3D desktop - you're inside a giant room, effectively and you can spin the room...

Digital photo frame – now for the fridge!

April 9th, 2008 by Dave@LGUK
 
Every time a digital innovation comes out, the analogue lobby always defend the original with a "well, it will never be able to replace a key aspect, such as this...". And then digital works out a way of fulfilling that need. For example, with digital downloads, many said people would still buy physical records for the cover artwork. So then the digital geeks incorporated the cover artwork into the download and hey presto, we now have cover flow navigation in our software. I was reminded of this today, as over at Red Ferret I saw this magentic fridge-mounted digital photo frame....

Natural beauty – the ultimate in eco-friendly fashion?

March 7th, 2008 by Dave@LGUK
 
I came across these amazing photos today: After a little digging I found these are from a book called Natural Fashion: Tribal Decoration from Africa by Hans Silvester. These are members of the Surma and Mursi tribes who live in the Omo Valley on the borders of Ethiopia, Kenya and Sudan. Fifteen tribes, including the Hamer and Kurma tribes, live in this area but I'm unsure if they all partake in this ornamentation. The decorations seem to serve no ritualistic purpose and are purely for enjoyment. It's wonderful to see such spontaneous, natural (in all senses - apparently the designs are...

Photo beauties with the Viewty

January 23rd, 2008 by Dave@LGUK
 
The photo site Flickr is great for a number of reasons - one of them being you can see what other's photos have been taken with the LG Viewty, showing off its abilities. This, for example, is a classy winter shot of ice on a tree branch: 21. Dezember 2007 by ernscht The camera fares well indoors as well, as shown by this macro shot: Xbox 360 Controller by Skyfall And the indoor shots are proven with this dinky shot of a scale model: New Rotterdam Central by jacco.org I found all these photos and more at Flickr's photos tagged with "Viewty". There's also a clutch of...

Uploading photos even easier?

December 14th, 2007 by Dave@LGUK
 
Gizmodo have reported on a neat little Bluetooth USB dongle from Kodak and Belkin for transferring photos from your phone to your PC. Nothing that spectacular so far but Belkin claims to have made transferring photos onto your computer even easier than it was before – which is no mean feat given how easy it is already. So, how have they achieved this? 1. Whenever you’re in range of the dongle it will automatically transfer your photos onto your PC. 2. It will then upload them straight onto Facebook or Myspace. So perhaps not hugely innovative in itself, but...

The Viewty’s camera and the competition

December 4th, 2007 by Dave@LGUK
 
Dial-a-phone have done a testing session with the 5MP camera phones currently on the market – of which the Viewty is one. They’ve done three separate photographic tests of the camera’s capabilities and presented them for an easy comparison. I’m pleased to report the Viewty comes out really well in the comparison and from this evidence looks to be consistently in the top 2 along with the Samsung G800. We have a lot of faith in the Viewty’s camera and its good to see this demonstrated in a direct comparison test. We’re also very happy with the poll dial-a-phone have on their...

Van Gogh and ISO 800 light sensitivity

November 16th, 2007 by Dave@LGUK
 
Another revolutionary aspect of the Viewty is the possible ISO light sensitivity setting of 800. Whilst normal digital cameras regularly have an ISO 800 setting (and above) it is unusual for a camera phone to have such a high setting. Such a (relatively) high rating will allow you take better pictures in darkened conditions and addresses a common complaint with camera phones generally – that they don’t work well in low light. The Viewty also includes Smart Light technology ensuring better and brighter images indoors and at night. The fun video shows the relative difference in light sensitivity between ISO settings...

November 16th, 2007 by Dave@LGUK
 
Fancy getting a LG Viewty for free and having your bill paid? Shiny Media and LG have launched a Europe wide mobile blog project called City Clickers, which is of course open to UK residents. The aim is to get mobile bloggers to capture the style and character of their city though its residents. They are looking for ten creative people who are willing to go out and photograph the people around them in the spirit of the army of street style bloggers such as The Sartorialist and Face Hunter. Those taking part will be issued with a Viewty to carry...
