I tried the neon one last night. It was already foggy, I might post both for comparison’s sake…
Is that low light at the top and neon below? They both look great! 👍
Cheers, it’s actually neon at the top and the unprocessed version below… I don’t get out much after dark tbh, though maybei should think about it as someone up the valley posted some amazing fog pictures on Facebook from the park in the next town earlier!
Yes, it was intermittent for me too... but mostly on this one thread. In Mexico sometimes I could look at maybe 2 photos via my iPhone the rest would show as broken graphics... but that was indeed a very slow connection on my end. I'm surprised it's been so slow for me here at home. Sometimes is seems tolerable if I'm on a wired connection.
Not a big deal for me, but I do like checking out everyone else's images with this app. Just thinking of ways that the browsing might be speeded up a little instead of stalling out sometimes
@richardyot - It's more likely that it's an internet issue between your location and the server than a server issue itself. Internet packet routing sometimes gets temporarily disrupted or screwed up and sends packets bouncing all over the world to get to a particular destination. Routing to other sites can be fine but disrupted for whatever reason to a certain locale or provider. Generally these things tend to resolve over time.
That's just an assumption, but one based on many years of IT experience.
As for the more fundamental issue of the bandwidth this thread needs, I can't speak for our host, but if it were my site I don't think I'd invest time in customizations to make this particular non-music related thread work better for people having issues with it. If it were a photography forum, or if it brought in ad revenue to offset costs, or if it was an e-commerce site, or if I wasn't many months behind schedule with the next release of my flagship app, it might be different.
Please don't take that as me saying that discussing the problem is a waste of time. I'm just the kind of person that can't stop themselves from adding context and that continually thinks it's their job to help set expectations.
Maybe dropping the file limit to just 1MB instead of 2? I'm building a corporate site at the moment that's got loads of photography in it. Lots of full screen photo banners and large images. I've been able to keep all photos displayed down to well under a MB. Most of them are below 500k.
It's just that when people upload multiple images, in several posts, and they're all close to 2MB... it's slowing it down way too much.
I agree... nothing radical should be done to accommodate the sluggish performance of this thread... since it only very loosely has anything at all to do with the general focus of the site... but I think dropping that max file cap down to at least 1MB would go a long way IMO.
I think that would likely have negative effects on other more directly music related things though.
Anyway, it's not something I have the ability to change. That'd be a @Michael thing.
In theory I have a script that I’ve written which automatically downsizes particularly large images anyway, on the server at periodic intervals. I could potentially tweak the thresholds on whether any image is downsized or not.
Ultimately, I guess it doesn't matter. I'm just passing on that... although I'm a fan of Bram's camera app and enjoy checking out the images other users are getting with it... I have also found myself thinking twice before clicking on the thread if i don't feel like getting aggravated by the slow load. But yeah, doesn't really matter much.
I totally get that. And without feedback such as yours, no-one who can do anything about it would be aware of the issue. I'm not tryin' to shut that down by any means.
I didn't think you were. I just came to the realization that I'm harping on about something that really isn't all that important to be wasting time with. No worries. Carry on.
Really fine detail on this one. I wonder what makes the difference in some of the users who get fine/sharp detail, and others who's images look a bit soft? Which iPhone is this one? Seems like those with the iPhone 15/pro tend to get the sharpest detailed images in my informal noting of the sharp images vs not-so-sharp images.
My guess is that people aren't obsessively cleaning their camera phone lenses before taking any images... but, I suppose it could be a difference in iPhone models. My guess is that it's skin oil on the lenses that isn't getting cleaned off every time.
Wait. You're supposed to clean something? Is that the bumpy looking bit on the back of the phone? The thumb rest thingy?
Yeah, it’s a big iPhone 15 pro, best phone camera I’ve been near. I even captured some nebula in Orion’s Belt last night with it😅
Perhaps Bram could comment on how the app deals with focus and sharpness generally?
So basically to understand how it works before we factor in how clean our lenses are, camera shake and image downsizing for this thread?

I’d love an infinity focus setting, one thing I really struggle with on phone cameras is when the autofocus just refuses to accept I want to take the sky or horizon😅
I'm at the mercy of Apple's camera algorithm. I ask it to take the picture, and whatever logic it uses to focus the shot is applied. I reckon it may even differ per iPhone model.
Indeed, in some film types I do a very subtle (sub 1-pixel) blur. Mostly to get rid of the "digital sharpness" that makes phone images so recognisable. Nothing that would make the image look actually blurry. Just more natural.
Interesting. Seems every time I ask “which iPhone?” when I see what appears to be sharper/finer details… it’s been the 15 just about every time.
I usually save the unprocessed version alongside the app-generated one. Comparing them often shows the app-generated version to be much softer than the unprocessed. I assumed this was part of the goal with XP4N but perhaps how 'soft' is an expectation thing. Here's a zoomed-in comparison ('daylight' on left, 'unprocessed' on right):
Another example, this time 'balanced' and 'unprocessed':
Is this about what you would expect? My phone is a 14 Pro.

Can we talk to each other? It is important
Lols like an interesting and eclectic day there @sugus! I particularly love the colour on the last one..
The LAST one is B&W .....
