Nokia N8 video - Finnish Lakesides from Dawn to Dusk

[timberwolves666]

great job...!

[turreu]

You don't need to believe in God when you have the beauty of nature in front of you and you know you're a part of it

[topolino70]

@Pappanson Yes, finnish and norwegian nature are quite alike excepting that you have lofty great mountains :)

[NekLiersak]

In addition to being an excellent demo of the camera, these are some amazingly beautiful shots

[topolino70]

@NekLiersak Thanks for you compliments, I appreciate it!

[doshuevosconajo]

Finland is an amazing place for Photography and Video would love to visit in the future for a photographic holiday. very Nice shots. Thanks

[topolino70]

@doshuevosconajo Nice that you liked my video. Yes Finland at its best is very beautiful and picturesque - especially at summer time. I hope you will get a chance to come here sometime :)

[topolino70]

@CODKhalidHussain I can agree with that. In my opinion human made things are seldom as beautiful as God's creation - the Nature.

[nikanikitatica]

Muito lindo este video perfect.

[tuTomek82]

Amazing.

[LJoe28]

beautiful recording!

I wonder if it's possible to change focusing of the camera on different objects during recording, what I mean: for ex. 3:40min, you focus on sth close and the background is blurry, which is great, but during this scene, can you change focusing from this plant/leaf to sth in the background, so that the plant/leaf becomes blurry and the other in the back is sharp??

thx for answer

[topolino70]

@LJoe28 Thanks for the compliments! N8 does not support autofocus during the video take, so it is not possible to change the focus from near to far and vice versa. N8 has fixed "far away focus" at video mode. So if you want to have a close up video with blurred background, you have to use a lens at the front of the N8 as I have done.

[JerryTheNezumi]

I love LAKE places!

[topolino70]

@JerryTheNezumi That makes two of us! :)

N8 is the best camera phone, Iphone 4 as second.

[rockimaru]

do you know if the N8 can shoot time lapse video? or, is there a software that can allow the phone to shoot time lapse?and if there is a software, is it in the OVI store? sorry for drowning you with questions =)

[topolino70]

@rockimaru Hi. N8's own camera/ video application does not have time lapse functionality, but I have heard that there should be a time lapse application for N8 at OVI store. I have not tried it yet.

[filstalmedia]

Great work! I think the N8 is a great camcorder-phone, isn't it?

[topolino70]

@filstalmedia Thanks! I have been quite satisfied with N8.

[twostrikerider]

wow nice shot=) would you recomend the nokia n8 before iphone 4?? plz answer soon:D

[topolino70]

@twostrikerider Thanks. Unfortunately I have no experience about IPhone. But as far as shooting pictures and videos are concerned I have been happy using N8.

[xavier19062]

@topolino70 why you gotta talk about the iphone u guys behave like it was made by god n its industructable damn

[KILLERSMITH111]

Ohhh myyyyy gooddddddddddd!!!!!! This is awesssssssssoooooommmeeee!!

I have seen your other video, that one is excellent too, but this is just so perfectttt!!

[topolino70]

@KILLERSMITH111 Thank you! I am happy you like it :)

[kumarslvr1]

i wish this video be my moving desktop wall paper.

[topolino70]

@kumarslvr1 If you know the way how to do it , go ahead - as long as you give me credits at some point and it is not for profit. :)

[kumarslvr1]

@topolino70 i wish i could, u definitely deserve credit for doing this.

[topolino70]

@zymo0815 Thanks! I appreciate your comment!

Nokia, the world's top mobile manufacturer admitted today 19 nov 2010 some of its flagship N8 smartphones were sold with a power fault meaning they switched themselves off

[topolino70]

@GE88A Yes I have heard that. It is unfortunate for those experiencing the dead phone symptom. Up to date my own N8 has worked ok.

[GE88A]

@topolino70 how long have you had yours mine worked for about a month and the went blank never came back alive again

[topolino70]

@GE88A I have had mine about three months now. Sorry to hear that your N8 died. :(

[GE88A]

@topolino70 well sometimes you are unlucky with phones,the most important thing is that i got my money back now i'm gona try Htc desire HD :P

[topolino70]

@GE88A Ok, I hope you will be more lucky with your next phone.

[ShadowwwLFS]

@GE88A top? You kidding?

[GE88A]

@ShadowwwLFS My nokia n8 died after one month it's true

[vastenmielinen]

this would make an awesome active wallpaper for the N8.

[Tahsin4rockU]

can u please tell me which software do u use for editing video?? ur videos are too sharp and high contrasted.. but my n8 videos are not dat much sharp like urs.. please tell me how to make more colourful of my video..?

[topolino70]

@Tahsin4rockU Hi. I have not used any extra video editing application on my Nokia N8 films. Only Nokia N8's own video editing application.

About sharpness: N8 phone's focus is far by default. If you want to get some other distance to be at focus, you have to use a lens to modify focus.

About colors: I often use vivid colour tone mode while shooting video. But what is most important, I try to shoot videos at good light. Videos shot at overcast or cloudy are often (but not always) dull.

[topolino70]

@Tahsin4rockU In addition. Especially when light gets dimmer the camera shake does cause video blurriness. That is the reason I like to use tripod.

[Rusikindusik]

елки палки, какое качество и сколько красоты

Спасибо!

[ExpeditiousMuzikTV]

This is amazingly relaxing.. I wish life was more like this, just sit back..enjoy the beautiful essence of nature. Oh well..

[BSSVK]

fabulous !! nicely done! :-) 

[sampheonix]

great man

seems ur pro photographer

[topolino70]

@sampheonix Thanks samheonix and all the other for the compliments! I am not a pro photographer. At least I have not get paid for any of my photographs :) But surely I like to shoot photos as my hobby.

[kohsija]

beautiful. wonderful.

[kohsija]

beautifl. wonderful.

[rrocky47]

OMG... F***ING AWSOME !!!

[ashtonkonon]

simply amazing!

[muumikopio]

Nokia - The best hardware...Not the greatest software (yet)

[freakenste]

Mind if i ask , how did you focus on the object at 1:16? While the n8 doesn't have autofocus in video mode?

[topolino70]

@freakenste Hi. In the scenes, where I wanted the focus to be closer I used a 3x magnifying glass in front of camera.

[schuerzenjaeger]

@topolino70 hi! loved your video! did you just use a "regular" magnifying glass? and how did you make your phone that crazy stable? thanks!

[topolino70]

@schuerzenjaeger Thanks! Yes I used just a regular Maped magnifying glass. I also attached the camera to the tripod for stability. Please check my video "a vay to attach Nokia N8 to tripod..." if you are interested to see how I attached the magnifying glass to camera.

[riddle10293]

This is so amazing. I'm speechless O_O

[MrNikijs89]

n8 camera is awesome. THNX for video

[gmasiero]

Many many compliments for these videos!

[gladiatorzee]

one word; EXCEPTIONAL!

[mindwalkr]

wow 4 minutes... days are really long in Finland this time of the year

[bandora]

Those are some very beautiful scenery! Thank you for the video! It really is great! Simple but great! :)

[ajck12345678]

Only the N8 makes this possible. Seriously.

[Stevethesearcher]

Excellent video. Very appropriate. Finnish scenery on a Finnish phone. The low light on the Nokia N8 is very good especially compared to my Kodak ZI8 Pocket Camcorder.

[S1TEnet]

Another brilliant video !

[bharath144]

Superb.. One of the best N8 video uploads. You must have used a tripod to fix the phone right?

[topolino70]

@bharath144 Yes, I fixed N8 to a tripod while shooting the scenes.

[a7mdsoso]

Beutifull

How could you do Continuios auto focus ?

[bandora]

@a7mdsoso It's not available right now for the N8, but will be available as soon as a critical camera bug is fixed (according to Nokia).. There's this modder who got 30fps and auto-focus to work on the N8 but he released the mod with the 30fps only because of the bug.. He's working with Nokia to get that fixed though. :D

[jamesburland]

Wow!

I've added this to the Nokia Creative post that features low light video capture. Just stunning work... inspiring even.

[topolino70]

@jamesburland Thanks a lot James!
