Shooting in live view honestly is weird to me. I'm not on a phone, and framing with the view finder is easier. Plus, in live view, I can't see the focus points the camera is choosing. In the vf I can half press on a subject and turn the camera to frame and know I've gotten it in focus. Dude, I love this thing.

That's a cool shot man. You need to get ring side next fight. Get some snot spray.
[Off-topic] jaszek:
I already talked to the lady that does the placements. She owes me a ring side spot, since I had to climb a damn ladder to get to my shooting position. That limits the amount of alcohol I can have up there to 0.
[Off-topic] boborone:
Not cool man, totally not cool. Plus with your wide angle lens, that might look kinda cool if you could get a fast enough shot to get the spray and everyone yelling off to the sides. Might be a cool shot. idk, just thinking out loud.

And man, I got disappointed earlier today. I had thought that the EF S lenses where labeled with the length of the APS-C size. And that you only needed to do some math if I mounted an EF lens to it. But nope, my EF S 18-55 mm lens needs math to figure out it's true length. So in order to get a wide lens, I need to get something under 10mm.

Found this 8 mm fish eye for 270

http://www.amazon.com/Rokinon-FE8M-...TF8&colid=28PS5TSADTLKO&coliid=I3RW9SOYFYG3I8

Which puts it at about 12mm on my camera.
[Off-topic] jaszek:
Yep. 10mm on 1.6X factor = 16mm full frame.

High contrast photos almost always a win. Me like. :)

Suggestion: before taking picture, think how it might come out, framing I mean. Look around, and see if you can compose it between two trees so they provide a frame. Or put all the stuff to one side, so you get leading lines into nowhere. This is not about pics above, just a general advice. Don't be tempted to take a picture first and then think. Think first, then take pic and see if it came out as imagined.

Went walking around the other night on the highway. None any good, I like the composition of a few, but there was some sht throwing the pic off in all. Took a ton, kept maybe 15 and I only like about 3 of em. Most of what I didn't like was the settings or light or traffic in most that I thought that were good, but not any real keepers. But I didn't want to stay in one spot and get bogged down with a single spot. So I snapped maybe 6 or 7 in a spot I liked and went through em later to find what was good and not.

And all those that are there haven't been messed with post, just what the camera took.

Zoomed in I see I was focused about 20 ft behind the car. Not sure how that happened cause I was focusing on the road with a half press, then turned and lined my shot up with a car. And pressed fully when when it got almost in front of me. So I should have been there. I'll try manual focus next time.

So if rooting phone will let you sideload is there something on market i can dl? Thanks
[Captivate General] quarlow:
Other than flashing a ROM I don't know a way to enable sideloading directly on the phone. Rooting would definately be required if there is an app to do it. Rooting would not be required if it is done through an update.zip. Rooting itself will make no difference in sideloading.

If you are running stock FroYo you cannot do anything without a computer, update.zip's wont run on stock FroYo (3e recovery).

If you are going to flash a new recovery to enable using the update.zip method then you may as well flash a new ROM, its the same amount of work, and mostly the same steps.

If you like the stock experience give Cognition a try. Its what would have come on the phone originally if the Samsung developers were actual end users. Its fast, stable, and full of features like sideliading, root, tethering, and many more.

And if none of this makes sense ... don't do it. If you don't understand what you are doing you will have a paperweight instead of a phone. All the info is in the stickies, this section or development section.

[Captivate General] MagillaGorillaX:
I understand about flashing. Well sorta lol but you need a computer to do all this with right? If i had my computer i wouldnt be on here because i use adb to sideload but sence comps down all i got is phone. This sucks. Going to have to see about vetting desktop up and running again i guess. O well thanks for the input.
[Captivate General] quarlow:
What are you running on your phone?

If you are running stock 2.1, you may be able to do everything directly on your phone depending on if your phone will support 3 button combo. To test turn off your phone, then hold both volume buttons and power, when you see the third white att screen release the power button while still holding the volume keys. If you get a recovery menu, 3 button combo is supported, and you are good to go. You can download all you need to flash a ROM. Basically the clockworkmod update.zip and the ROM of your choosing.

If you can't get into recovery I think you need a computer to enable 3 button combo.

If you are running stock 2.2, you need a computer, period.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Lozone:
I just want to get a few opinions from people on XDA.

This year I will eventually upgrade my phone to something else.

I'm looking for a few features:

1. Dual Core Processor.

2. Front Facing Camera

3. Same Size Screen s HD2 or larger

4. Ample amount of Ram

5. Fast Mobile Internet

I passed on the T-Mobile G2X because of the screen size.

Now I'm waiting for the HTC Sensation and the Samsung Galaxy SII.

My HD2 has Android on it.

I want a native Android phone so I can flash whatever operating system on it

and not miss any calls or text.

The HD2 is a very fun phone IMO.

So what new phone will everyone get this year?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] songokussm:
htc sensation. plus many of the devs already said they are getting it as well.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] zukа:
Definitely HTC Sensation.

Just look at it.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Kailkti:
Galaxy s 2. I'm not willing to wait on devs to unlock the bootloader of the sensation, seeing as how the sony x10 took about a year? And the moto atrix is still a work in progress, and likely by the time the sensation is unlocked, like every other locked bootloader phone, a new "innovational" device would've come out already. Nor am I merciful enough to spare a flagship for its less than decent amount of space. Flagships should have atleast 8 gb space nowadays.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] silverwind:
I dont think any other phone (Sensation and SGS II) can be flashed with any other OS (cross platform like HD2).

HD2 is an exception....

But, if you want to have an hackable device, you should go for HTC Sensation :)

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] bates_1974:

Sorry that sentence is misleading. I would have the HD2 to fulfill my flashaholic appetite.

The new phone will be my everyday driver.

I like the look and design of the Sensation.

But the screen and memory/ storage of the SGSII is tempting.

Thanks for all the responces.
