2013 iPhone Photography Awards showcase some stunning photos

pic1

There’s an old adage in photography that it’s about the photographer, not the camera. By phone standards, the iPhone camera is a decent one, but it’s not the most obvious choice for creative photography. The annual iPhone Photography Awards show just what can be achieved in the right hands.

I’ve picked out my three favourites, above and below. Think you can do better? Post some links in the comments …

All photos entered in the awards have to be straight from the iPhone – no manipulation with external software allowed – though you can use camera apps like Instagram.

    First Place = AMAZING.

  2. Pretty awesome photos! As I always say, I don’t need a huge camera to make a great photo, all I need is an idea and my iPhone :)

    Here is a small selection of some of my iPhone photos. Some are from an iPhone 4 and the one of the watch is from my iPhone 5.

    The other old adage that applies here is: “the best camera is the one you have with you.”
