The Best Camera…
I am always telling people how great the camera is on your iPhone (or even a Droid). I get into quite a lot of conversations with people about camera gear and inevitably they want to know what sort of gear I use. I tell them and they nod having decided my heavy camera is why I get good shots from time to time.
I will tell you exactly what I tell people in person…not true! Sure the 5D Mark II is a great camera, but it’s not the one true camera. Much of the time I am taking pictures with my iPhone using Instagram or Hipstamatic. In fact…why do you follow me on Instagram! Great photography isn’t about the gear you have, it’s about finding beauty and showing that in the best light possible. You can do that with any gear.
I wanted to share some of my favorite Instagram photos of 2013. These were all taken with the iPhone, usually just using the native Instagram iPhone app. Get out there, have fun and take some more photos in 2014!
Which Instagram or iPhone/Droid photos did you take in 2013 you are most proud of? Post them below!
