Today I came across a blog that was celebrating International Mobile Photography Day, an event established by Nokia; and I thought that I simply had to write about it.
October 20 (10/20) has no specific significance, but I think it’s a great cause to celebrate in line with the brand’s new phones which I’ve heard have really great cameras. You might say that Nokia is a lost cause, but this seems to be something they have gotten right.
Mobile phones have revolutionised, and in a sense created a new form of photography – which I can say without pie charts and statistics, is a huge hit. Despite the fact that people have overdone the ugly food pictures, feline close-ups and selfies – I still double tap on an Instagram-med picture of the perfect blueberry cheesecake with a side of steaming hot chocolate.
Although most professional photographers turn their noses up to mobile photography, what I love best about it is that you can capture any moment that you come across and of course, the fantastic filters that they come with are an added bonus!
While I have quite often posted samples of my iPhone photography, here are ten of the favourites clicked randomly over the past few months:
 |
| Sangria. Up close. |
 |
| Jaguar! And our receptionist in the background. |
 |
| Intricate. |
 |
| Those rare Muscat rains, and a fast car. |
 |
| The heavenly grey filters |
 |
| ♪ And the daylight ♪ |
 |
| I know I said random. But I couldn’t help myself with this one. |
 |
| Heart Muscat’s roads. |
 |
| Orange hues |
 |
| Chocolat! |
Happy #1020MobilePhotoDay !
