Capturing a stunning photograph can be a daunting task, which is why many people often feel the need to rely on the latest technology to achieve great results. However, it’s important to note that impressive mobile photography can also be accomplished with older devices. This week, our Photo of the Week initiative showcased just that. Among the submissions, we received remarkable photographs taken with older smartphones.
One standout image comes from Mohamed Sabry, who shot a captivating photo in Colombo, Sri Lanka, using a Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra. The city’s landscape itself is intriguing, but the dramatic lightning striking over the sea brings an exceptional contrast to the scene. The long exposure technique used captures intricate details, illustrating the beauty of this stunning nighttime moment. Additionally, an honorable mention goes to J2017, whose street photography exemplifies the strengths of smartphones.
Utilizing the vivo X100 Pro, J2017’s photo captures the vibrant colors of a downtown scene, complete with neon lights and warm hues. The clarity and detail of the image convey the excitement of city life. For those interested in sharing their photography, we encourage submissions for future features.
