Michal Marek In recent years, mobile photography has gone from being a fringe issue to becoming a phenomenon. Thanks to high-quality cameras built into smartphones and simple software, today practically everyone can take pictures, and the ability to produce interesting images is no longer the prerogative of professionals.
The competition called iPhone Photography Awards, which focuses on photos taken by Apple phones, also tries to recognize interesting mobile photos. On the competition website the winning pictures of the last year have now appeared and some of them are really worth it.
The absolute winner of the competition was the picture "Man and the Eagle" (Man and the Eagle), behind which the photographer Siyuan Niu stands. The image depicts the 70-year-old man and his beloved eagle, with the photo taken on an iPhone 5S. A filter from the application was used when the picture was taken VSCO and post-production editing took place in the popular tool Snapseed.
The first prize went to Patryk Kuleta with his picture "Modern Cathedrals", which captures the architecture of cathedrals in Poland in an abstract form. This picture was taken with the help of apps AvgCamPro a AvgNiteCam, which are used for long exposure photography. Kulet made subsequent adjustments in applications Snapseed a VSCO.
Robin Robertis is behind the image that received the second prize. "She bands with the Wind" depicts a woman in a red dress at sunset. This photo was taken with an iPhone 6 and edited with the help of apps Snapseed a Photoshop Express.
The winning photos are really well done and show that the camera is an important aspect of iPhones for both Apple and its customers. After all, the fact that the iPhone 6, iPhone 5S and iPhone 6S remain the most popular cameras on Flickr speaks for itself. In addition, substantial improvements to the camera are also expected from the upcoming iPhone 7, which should offer a dual-lens system for the rear camera, at least in its larger Plus version.
