Pictures Taken With Your Galaxy Nexus!

Nice, but that NASCAR front end needs to be the #29 car.

My Niners cap with the lights on, no flash.

Lights off, with flash.

This looks good to me. What settings did you use? Oh and See's is awesome!

Re: Problems with night photos?

Just wondering if anyone else has experienced the problems with lighting like I have in this pic. Even on the "Night" setting, it still had the streaks. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

That's called "lens flare" and is tricky to account for even with mid-range DSLR lenses. My best advice is to make sure the lens on the back of the Nexus is as clean and smudge/smear free as possible. if you want to do whatever is possible at your end to mitigate the flare.

Lol. Check out racingmetal.com for all kinds of stuff.

Here are a few I have had a chance to snap so far. The camera is on par with my expectations based on the reviews but I do particularly enjoy the fun features of the phone (including the time lapse video option).

Ok, looking at all these amazing pics, I must be doing something wrong. I went to my kids classroom, took about 20 pics and only one came out nice. Most of the pictures were either very grainy or very blurry. Is zooming on a digital camera a "no no"?

Sorry if this is slightly off topic, but I have googled around and not really found the answers I am looking for.

Whenever you are indoors or have less than really good light, be sure to allow the camera to focus first (with manual touch assist if necessary) and be sure to not shake the device when you push the shutter release button.

Digital zoom is never as good as optical zoom. I never bother zooming with camera phones because the quality simply degrades greatly with the digital zoom.

When zooming on the Nexus, it's really only cropping the image and blowing it up, hence the graininess. The lower the light is, the grainer it gets. When you crop something and blow it up, it degrades the quality. If it was an optical zoom (ie: the lens physically moves to zoom) then there is no loss in quality.

Thanks man. I used default settings for those photographs. The key to taking clearer and sharper photos with the Nexus is manually focusing the camera and keeping your hands steady while taking pics. By manually focusing I mean simply touching the object on the screen with your finger and making sure the camera focuses on that object. Be sure that the white box turns green to indicate that it's in focus, hold the camera steady and snap away. Simply pointing and snapping will give you blurry photos 50% of the time from what I've experienced. Oh and using the Zoom function will also degrade image quality like someone mentioned already.

And yes, haha. I love See's. I stocked up on See's for the holidays. Well, at least my family did.

I had some extra time to kill before work today, so I snapped some photos of the flora outside of my work place to test the camera in an outdoor environment. The photos came out nice.

I really don't care much for Micky D's food, but dangit I go there just to use the wallet and to freak out cashiers.

This camera and video recorder is the best I've used on a phone. I absolutely love it!

I agree those pics are great...just got my Nexus yesterday and am pretty impressed with the picture quality... Thats Little River at the bridge isn't it?

Thanks for the information dude, it really helps. Plus, having good lighting makes a huge difference. I used your tips for these photos. I didn't make any edits except resizing so it's not huge.

Using just the lighting from the window behind, no flash. The room is otherwise dim, no other lighting. Notice how it's grainy.

Same as above but with flash. A lot sharper, but a bit blown out.

With the desk lamp on to the side. Looks a lot better.
