Nokia N900-Captured Picture

From more than 200 photos, around 40 were chosen, and from those, only one could take home the mobile phone tripod set as the prize for the competition sponsored by the N900 accessories store. It wasn’t easy to choose, and some might not like the outcomes, it is not easy to choose from so many breathtaking photographies.

It wasn’t only amateurs who entered the contest, the quality of the exposures submitted demonstrated that some of the photographers likely had at least some experience at professional level.

And then from this smaller selection, we began eliminating until there was only one image per category. No criteria for selection, photography is art.

It is time we reveal the top three Nokia N900 pictures, from the selection of entries submitted from all over the world (click on the pictures to view at high-resolution):

Third place – Love is in the air, by Phage

Looking from the nature point of view, it is obvious why this picture is so beautiful. It’s the miracle of reproduction, captured in the “wild”. Of course, having a mobile phone in the pocket allowed the rare action to be captured in time, but it’s not easy to find such a moment, and that gives uniqueness to the picture. Another aspect, now more photography-related, is the “bokeh” effect at the extremities of the image, which shows the delicate capture, given the high aperture of the N900 at that time (f/2.8).

Second place – wow by 5he 4EaL W04LD

This picture has a very appropriate name to it, “wow”. Ancientstructures are really amazing, and with a exquisitive field of flowers and clean blue skies, it only gets better. An amazing view, which makes me jealous of not being there.

First place – n900 flower shot by _ Jai _

The photographer in question did realise that his image fit well in both nature and colours’ categories, but I decided to place it in the latter as there is a nice contrast of colours, as well as an interesting glare from the photo in the foreground. There is exceptional use of the bokeh technique, with the flowers being close, yet smoothly fading away into a blurry background. The colours of the flowers, lively pink, gold, and white, are well represented, and contrast against the light foliage on the ground. Further, the wide lens provides some real dynamic to the image, making it one of the very best entries in this contest.

The winner has been contacted via email and will be sent his mobile phone tripod as a prize for his great photograph.
