Mobile Photography: Weekly Photography Challenge
This week your photographic challenge is to take and share a great photo using your mobile phone camera. Of course this builds upon the release of our brand new eBook on iPhone Photography but is a challenge open to anyone shooting with an iPhone or any other mobile device be it an iOS device, Android or something else.
We’ve done this challenge twice before over the last few years and they were both really popular challenges and unearthed some great mobile phone photography so I’m looking forward to seeing your results this time around again!
Feel free to use your mobile to take any kind of photo – portrait, landscape, street, action, abstract, architecture, sport – whatever you’d like to have a go at we’d love to see.
Once you’ve taken and selected the ‘Mobile Photography’ image that you’d like to share – upload it to your favourite photo sharing site or blog and either share a link to it or – embed them in the comments using the our new tool to do so.
If you tag your photos on Flickr, Instagram, Twitter or other sites with Tagging tag them as #DPSMOBILE to help others find them. Linking back to this page might also help others know what you’re doing so that they can share in the fun.
Also – don’t forget to check out some of the great shots posted in last weeks challenge – Wide Angle challenge where there were some great shots submitted.
I’m looking forward to seeing your shots!

This is the photograph that made me start photographing anew. I used to shoot film, many years ago, but I stopped shooting with the advent of digital cameras. Film became too expensive, and a good digital camera is also too expensive, here in Brazil. One day I took this picture with my cellphone, because it needed takin’.

Then I bought a digital camera (a superzoom; I haven’t had money for a good camera yet, but someday I will buy one), and I’m shooting again.
In my flickr page you can also see a whole set of pictures I shot with film, 30-20 years ago.

While I think the iPhone 4s takes great photos for a phone, I only use it for that purpose when my DSLR isn’t with me or handy. That said, I took some photos recently on a hike in Alaska with my phone for a quick upload to Facebook and Flickr, creating a panorama in the process.

I’m really glad you did this challenge. I’ve actually created a gallery of iPhone photography on my site. I’m attaching a link for a shot I took yesterday of some lights behind glass and I’m attaching the link to my gallery if you’d like to see other iPhone pictures I’ve done.

Taken on my way to a soccer practice. Had called to verify that is was still on, guess noone at the location had looked out the window. Surprise, surprise when I arrived practices had been cancelled. Good thing too as moments later the skies opened up with a loud crack of thunder and a bolt of lightning.
This was taken with my old, out of date, crappy LG VX-5600 flip phone. I might be last person not using a smart phone.
