As the adage goes, the best camera is the one that you have with you. For some photographers, it’s their mobile phone, capturing inspiring places, faces, and moments while they’re on the go.
Plus, early today, Apple just announced the upcoming iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus. It got us pretty excited about the enhanced capabilities of these iPhones’ 8-megapixel cameras, like optical image stabilization, faster autofocus system, and many other improvements from previous models.
You can shoot and submit an entry of any subject, from landscapes to portraits to still-life, as long as it is shot on a mobile camera phone. So grab your phone, start shooting, and tagging now! For inspiration, you can look through these photos shot and processed with an iPhone:
