Android: DSLRNinja Rate My Picture Game!

I was planning this application since I made the histogram one. Actually, my initial idea was to make a “histogram game” where the user would find out if their photo histogram was considered “good” by the software. I had some of the app written by copying existing code and modifying it, but I kept putting the project off. In retrospect I probably felt the app wasn’t exciting enough to bother with. 

Once I finished the “No Nonsense Picture Viewer” app, I wanted to get back into the histogram game… but had the idea of turning it into a general picture rating game instead. That meant coming up with various new ways to rate a photograph. I came up with quite a few new ways to analyze a photo and merged it with some existing visual content (the ninja graphics) I had from a past project. The concept of histogram is still a big part in how the application analyses data, but there is quite a bit more than just that!

This is my first FREE (admob advertisements in the app with optional donation links), so I’m hoping that the application is interesting enough to entice a large audience. 🙂

App description:


This is the FREE Advertisement supported & donation (completely optional) supported version of the DSLRNinja Rate My Picture Game.

The “DSLR Ninja” checks out your photographs and gives you helpful information about the properties:
  • Picture format
  • Exposure
  • Clipping
  • Overall Exposure
  • Rule of 3rds Sharpness
  • Dynamic Range
  • Red, Green, and Blue exposure with clipping
  • 4×6 printing size
  • Compression level
  • Color and averages

It also rates your photos based on what it considers good from those given properties it checks.

It’s a fun and helpful app that is good for novices and skilled photographers alike.

Thanks, I hope you check it out if you have an Android device to try it on.

First look at the Sigma 18-50mm F/2.8 for Sony E-mount bought from KEH

I've use a Sony Alpha A6000 and the PZ 16–50mm F/3.5–5.6 OSS kit lens with my computer as a webcam for a long time now. It's a lower cost option that has been very consistent outputting 1080p at 30 FPS to a USB based HDMI capture device. The kit lens is generally fine, but it has a few quirks. The biggest issue is that throughout the zoom range the maximum aperture value is not fixed. This introduces technical challenges when I want to show detailed views of product or similar use cases. There are also other considerations I'll talk about later in this article. So I decided to buy the Sigma 18-50mm F2.8 DC DN | C lens in E-mount as a replacement.  Links in this article are a mix of paid and through my affiliates. I earn from each in different ways. One is a flat fee and the others I earn from qualifying purchases. Considering them for your purchasing needs helps make the creation of this information viable!   I made a video unboxing the lens and trying it out with Open ...

Canon M6 Mark II HDMI & 10-bit Output?

I’m writing all of this down in case sources disappear and I want to reference M6ii HDMI-out information in the future.  Selecting clean HDMI from the settings. So this is not by any means a definitive source but rather a jumble of information I’m putting together in the moment. The “HDMI info disp” setting to select clean output mode. This camera's 4K isn't really that size internally, but better than 1080p at least. There is one webpage I know about that mentioned the Canon EOS M6 Mark II supports clean HDMI output in 10-bit 4:2:2. I don’t think the page exists any longer on Canon USA’s website because the old link no longer works after a redesign. https://youtu.be/_UT9u0XVn5U However it does currently exist on the Internet Archive .   A screen capture from the  Internet Archive  webpage copy. Here’s the important quote from that webpage:  HDMI recording: Menu-selected user choices for HDMI output with info (images recorded to the SD card); Clean 4K output, or...

Nikon Z Nikkor 28mm f/2.8 Lens Review

Here’s my full video review of the the Nikon 28mm f/2.8 lens where I talk about using it with a Nikon Z5 camera at multiple conventions, events, and even nature photography.  Nikon Z 28mm f/2.8 Overall, it’s a reasonable option if you are on a budget and want a larger aperture range plus internal focus compared to the kit lens. https://youtu.be/9ECYPd4L2Yg Check out the Nikon NIKKOR Z 28mm f/2.8 Lens through my affiliate links: Amazon B&H Photo Video Adorama Best Buy ebay Used on KEH Walmart As an affiliate of these shops, I earn from qualifying purchases! The 28mm on a Nikon Z5 camera body. This lens is compact and has the build quality of their NIKKOR Z 24-50mm f/4-6.3 kit lens so that means a plastic mount. Not ideal, but feels sufficient enough. Don’t expect weather resistance from this lens as there is no back gasket. What the lens would look like in the two Z sensor formats. Besides the convenient and compact size, I like that the lens is completely internal focus. Thei...
