Default Sydney police horses - shot on phone camera

Looking through my old pics I found this one from a couple of years ago. I stumbled across a demonstration in the middle of the city and only had my Nokia phone with me (should always carry a camera).

I thought the horses looked amazing in their riot gear, like something out of Lord of the Rings.

wow, the horses look sharp too, geared up like that. Must be a very hot day wasn't it, judging from the overexposure

Yes, it was a hot day but the overexposure was more the limitations of the phone camera.

Cheers,

Gerard

Cool gear! Great shot from a phone too - nice angle. They do look like something from Gladiator or similar though!

Mad Max Trojans.
I'm amazed at the quality from a phone camera.
Perhaps it should called a Camera Phone as the photo performance probably does better than the phone side.
