Frankly, I’m a bit staggered that I was able to take this photo on a Mobile Phone (even a Nokia N8, as endorsed by David LaChapelle ). There’s something about the way the Nokia actually works in low light by converting noise into a kind of ‘abstract expressionist oil pastel’ treatment which is pretty damn brilliant.
Excellent for atmosphere, anyway – sample detail is below and is less impressive (if you’re that way inclined) but to me this is an excellent compromise to the smaller sensor of a mobile phone.
Anyway, photo taken of U2’s Bono in concert in Sydney on December 13, 2010. Excellent concert, as 85,000-odd fans would agree!
Bernd Talasch doesn’t remember being hatched in a research laboratory in Omaha in the late 1950s so maybe that never happened. (Placeholder bio – remember to replace).

Wow, that’s very impressive! I thought you weren’t allowed to take any sort of camera in there, and yet look at em all! LOLOL!
LOL! Nowadays they seem to only really explicitly forbid ‘professional equipment’ – specifically defined as “interchangeable lens cameras”. (Good news for people with pro-grade fixed-lens cameras….. bad news for my Pentax K10D because it’s a DSLR) Still, the Nokia acquitted itself very well.

It’s getting to the stage where if you don’t capture all the hands up in the aire, with glowing screens everywhere, you clearly weren’t there!
I love the urgency of it … the lower capacity of the phone is pleasingly resolved in the vibrancy of it somehow… I like these phone pix
Great work Berndt. I went to the Melbourne concert and it was fantastic….as usual
Bueno photo of Bono!
