Phoneographer Patrick Walsh. Patrick, the founder of Nothing but a Nokia and author of The Backpacker Who Sold His Supercar (A perfect last minute Christmas pressie!) recently held a Photography Master Class at Social Media Week in London. During the session he talked about travelling through remote destinations with just a Nokia smartphone to record his adventures. No surprise then that he calls his Nokia Lumia 1020 “the ultimate ‘in your pocket’ point-and-shoot”. These tips are his very useful Christmas gift to us at Nokia Conversations:
This device is famous for its camera and rightly so. When I first got the Nokia Lumia 1020 I just went out to play, exploring my surroundings, using all of the functions that this great camera has to offer and trying to get a feel for it.
The Pro Cam app is the reason why this device is a game-changer – like a DSLR it provides control over all of the settings and the results can be just as good. The automatic controls provide fantastic results but it is through experimenting with the white balance, ISO, and shutter speed that you get those ‘next level’ photos.
ISO settings allow you to change the speed at which light is absorbed by the sensor. Higher ISO settings take in light faster, but increase noise and color imprecision, which can create some cool results.
A fast shutter speed can capture sharp action shots in well-lit conditions, whilst a slow shutter speed can create those fantastic ‘trailing light’ shots that we all love.
Pre-installed on the Lumia 1020 are a number of fantastic post-processing apps to help you edit your photos fast and effectively. There are many more available in the app store, but the go-to apps that I recommend on the Lumia 1020 are:
– Creative Studio – my one stop shop for colour-popping, tweaking photos and applying filters.
– Cinemagraph – the easiest way to animate sections of a still image.
– Panorama – for creating the wide and wonderful when it comes to landscapes and skylines.
The Camera Grip comes as an accessory and gives the Lumia 1020 the feel of an ‘old-skool’ camera. But it is even better than that – it also provides a tripod mount and additional battery life so that you don’t run out of juice whilst out on location.
Microsoft offers 7GB of free SkyDrive space in the cloud for owners of Lumia devices. I find this very handy as it allows me to back up my photos, text messages and app list automatically. Very generous.
“Go play,” Patrick suggests, and wouldn’t we just love to do that. Christmas will definitely provide some opportunities to test out Patrick’s tips, so remember to have your Nokia Lumia 1020 at hand to capture the magic moments of the festive season.

I met patrick myself earlier in the year and this guy is a true gent.

Today nokia mix radio updated to version 4.1
First, mixes have been reorganised. These used to be presented in a long list. But now they are organised into three panes: Featured (selected mixes by the local entertainment managers); Genres (like Indie, Hip-Hop, Pop, etc.); and Categories (things like new releases, moods or occasions). As you learn where your favourite Mixes are placed, it will become quicker and easier to get to them with this new system. You might even discover a new mix or two in the process.
Second, navigation in the My Music section has been improved.
Third, the new version of the app introduces an A-Z list for your MixRadio favourites, similar to the one that’s present on the app list screen when you go over 25 installed apps. You can press a letter to bring up an alphabetical grid that zips you to the artist you’re looking for really quickly.
So, just a few tweaks that help make this great app even better. As usual, the update will be available through the Windows Phone Store and, if you haven’t got it already, you should get a notification that it’s ready to download and install in the next 24 hours.
Stay tuned for all the latest Nokia MixRadio news here at Conversations, and do use the chance to feedback on the service via the app settings, you’ll find an item called ‘feedback’ – use it!
Happy listening!

As christmas is approaching a new mobile phone is one of the top gifts this time of year.
We like our phones and they are part of our lives now and most cant live without them,these phones can range from cheap entry level models to high end expensive ones,and we would not like to loose them so here is some news and tips.
Over 12,000 mobile phones worth €5million have been stolen in the past year, Gardai have revealed.
New stats show that the number of stolen phones, the majority of which are smart phones, has increased by a third.
Gardai released the figures to highlight Crime Prevention Day of Action, which is promoting how people can avoid having their phone stolen.
Sgt Alan Roughneen, of the National Crime Prevention Unit, said: “Mobile phone theft is on the rise as gangs target high-value smart phones.
“These are expensive items and people should take the same care of them as they would any item that costs up to €500 and more.
“Smart phone owners need to be more vigilant, particularly when we are coming into a time of the year when they are more likely to be out socialising.
“All too often we see smart phones worth hundreds of euro being left out on tables in bars, nightclubs, café or restaurant tables while people chat and this makes it very easy for criminals to simply walk past and steal them.
To combat phone theft, Gardai recommend:
