Photo post: Motorised shots from West London

Recently I got my hands on a prototype Nokia Lumia 1020, which has a 41MP camera (yes, forty one). I’ve never had a decent camera before, so considering I have no knowledge of photography, I’m pretty pleased with the results.

Maybe I’ll be at Silverstone for MCN in a few weeks…

Kawasaki Z 750 (Nokia Lumia 1020)

A fairly standard Z 750.

But when you zoom in and blur the background…

…and add some of the Lumia’s built in effects, it’s pretty impressive.

Chrome moped (Nokia Lumia 1020)

While motorbikes are fun, this moped is pretty fancy.

And up close it’s also worthy of a bike magazine slot. I think anyway.

Trotter's Independent Traders, Reliant Robin (Nokia Lumia 1020)

And then of course you might be interested to see the Trotter mobile. Del Boy not included.

Model-T Ford (Nokia Lumia 1020)

And how about a Model-T Ford? Just sitting around in Shepherds Bush.

Interestingly, the Model-T was just outside the Robin Reliant, so using the fancy Lumia’s camera, I got a reflection of the Reliant in the Model-T. Sweet aye?

Petrol might be ruining the environment, but without it we’d have no racing. Which is probably as good a place as any to end the post.

For those of you interested in the phone, it’s the Nokia Lumia 1020, running Windows Phone 8. All the effects were done on the phone itself, using the built-in Creative Studio app.
