London - sunset by the Thames's by krisek

London - United Kingdom Today, the evening was really pleasant. As the sun was setting all the way beyond the City of London, the tidal Thames was almost full. I took this with my iPhone, so no high resolution available, I'm afraid.

jacko1 - Apr, 18 2009 02:04pm You must have a very good phone Krys, this an excellent shot!. pesu - Apr, 18 2009 03:04pm What a wonderful sky. krisek - Apr, 18 2009 03:04pm Tony, thanks. The iPhone has very poor camera compared to some mobile phones that boast up to 8 megapixel sensors. iPhone has up to 3 megapixel, I think. That is rather poor in comparison. jacko1 - Apr, 18 2009 03:04pm Depends how good your eyesight is Krys, do you look at the picture or the pixels? as in hifi, do you listen to the music or the speakers?. krisek - Apr, 18 2009 03:04pm Tony, hehe, I agree about the eyesight and all, but with music ... bad quality speaker can ruin the experience. Once I listened to one of my favourite albums on my friends' speakers and I discovered a whole range of completely new goodness that I have not heard before! I just wanted to share the view of the sunset from tonite, but I know that with my big sexy camera I would have captured it much better. It was more spectacular than the shot illustrates... :( jacko1 - Apr, 18 2009 03:04pm Agreed Krys, but there is a limit to what we can percieve, at a risk of being even more boring than usual, in my opinion the content and composition of a picture is far more important than the quality of the camera, David Baily very often used a compact 35mm Olympus Trip to take pics of the world's most famous models, I still think this a very good and well composed picture, regardless of the number of pixels involved, btw, what's a pixel? hehe. krisek - Apr, 18 2009 03:04pm Tony, pixel is the smallest fragment of an image registered by the camera by its sensor (I think the same applies to monitors and TV screens), which like a puzzle create the entire picture. The more of them, they are more tightly packed, the better quality of the entire image. Well, not a scientific or technical explanation, but I hope it makes sense :) basia - Apr, 18 2009 11:04pm Krys, if I do not know that it's River Thames, I could believe that this is a lake.
