These are wonderful, but the iphone is hundreds and hundreds of dollars, how is that not an expensive camera?
Most of these are using a filter of some kind, its pretty obvious. I have an iphone and you don't get the majority of those effects without some kind of filter or editing. Great pics though.
As a publisher I can tell you that we can't use iPhone photos because their resolution is not good enough for full page printing (the size of copy paper). Samsung phones can however.... When iPhone catches up, I'll buy one. Love the product, hate the image quality.
Wait....if my iPhone wasn't expensive, how expensive are cameras then?
Not an expensive camera? For £600? I could get a very nice bridge camera at half that price!
Slightly confused as to the reason for such a category if it doesn't matter what camera is being used?
They were all wonderful photos and it doesn't surprise me that these images could be captured on a regular type camera. I've always enjoyed taking photos at random myself and have only ever used regular type cameras as well.
Most are beautiful... when nature is so full of art any camera can get you a great shot... the foxes are my favourite..
How ironic that a new iPhone costs more than a cheap DSLR^^ Still, these are beautiful captures, no doubt about that!
