“Take 100 pictures with your iPhone. Or your Samsung phone. Or your point and shoot. Whatever camera is the closest to you right this minute. The best camera is the one that’s with you.”
- Chase Jarvis, commercial photographer
Feeling inspired by this statement, I took this photo at the fresh produce section of Tesco Hypermarket this morning, ignoring the curious looks of other shoppers. Photo taken using my Nokia N82 phone, landscape mode, flash turned off, auto white balance. No editing other than addition of this site’s URL and resizing for the web.
So this weekend, I urge you to go out, see the world with a fresh, new insight. And shoot photos with the best camera — the one that is with you. Blog about your experience, linking back to this post. Let’s wow the world with what we can do with our phones, point-and-shoot’s, DSLR’s and everything else in between!
Enjoy your weekend everyone!
Hi mimi, i agree, the best camera is with me. I have a point and shoot, and i don’t bring it with me always, but i still love to shoot pics and i would love to do this challenge of yours next week.
I have the same (almost) photo subject, minus the chillis. I took while in the supermaket. I agree with that statement. The process and timing of capture is more important. Also, there are some subjects that will always be captured greatly whichever type of cam we use.
salam…ni yang buat sangat-sangat bersemangat…walaupun takde DSLR,tapi bile baca kenyataan di atas,membuat rasa tidak “kecil” walaupun menggunakan kamera-handphone…best-best!…syukran!
Should start getting used to taking pictures now that I have camera:-)
Hey, your phone camera takes really great pictures, the colours are so vivid.
sheng: i can’t wait to see your pics :)
witsandnuts: yup, certain colours, certain patterns — they do catch the eye. that’s why certain things become common photography subjects.
jabbar: wa alaykum salam. you should read chase jarvis’ article (click on his name). it really inspired me!
lola: yes, you should! you may have a point-and-shoot but it’s a very good one!
a-moms-diary: i’m quite pleased with the nokia n82′s camera. i guess the carl zeiss lens does make some difference. http://bit.ly/9vmgW
