Three pictures of Helsinki...

Posted June 20, 2003 9:21 AM.

While I was in Helsinki, I finally had the opportunity to play with a camera phone without any sense of consequence - I wasn't paying the bills! The shift in usage that occurs when suddently you don't have to worry about paying 50p per MMS is extraordinary. Here are some of the pictures that I took while I was out there:

Wow, I had no idea the quality of these cameras was that good. Did you touch them up in anyway? And is it possible for you to e-mail them to someone through your phone? If so, I wonder how long it'll be before someone comes up with something to allow you to e-mail them to a weblog.

I think they come through originally at 640x480 resolution and so I've shrunk them down and done a quick unsharp mask like I would with any photo, otherwise, nope - they're just like they came out of the camera. And there are some ways you can send photos direct to your weblog - I believe Blogger are working on it (or they're rumoured to be anyway) and 20six are doing it already... Although I think maybe it's a bit inelegant still...
