Mobile Phone Photographic Competition 2010-2011

Taken on a Sony Ericsson W715. Slight adjustments to contrast and brightness.

taken on motorola LV, cropped and tweaked exposure

Is this the first month of the competition to be voided?
Can a competition have only 2 entrants, when there is a winnners' structure that runs from 1st to 3rd place?

More entries are required plase, and dont tell you don't have pictures of bicycles taken by your mobile phones.
I know you do, so don't be shy. Post a pic.

I can post another one if you want ;)

me too;-)

Added a giant hat.

Taken on an iPhone this summer

Entries for February competition are now closed.

*amazed at the low entry on images of bikes*

Quite bizarre wasn't it, considering the subject of the forum.

perhaps because everyone has so many pictures of bikes they found it hard to choose though i suspect fear is the real reason, fear of not coming up with the goods

I found it very tough to be honest. I did have loads of lovely ones of my old Mercian but couldn't find them last night, so had to trawl through to find the ONLY photo I had on my computer that featured a bike in it.

I very rarely take pictures with my phone and even more rarely upload them..

I think because the thread wasn't bumped as regularly as before people forgot about it until the last minute.

I just never take snazzy shots of my bike.

People's pictures of bikes are too private to enter them into a public competition.

The Winner of the February category of A Bicycle, or Bicycles, is *Wibble*. Congratulations to him, and the runners-up.

The new category for this month of March is:

Homage to (Image In Style Of) Classic Photograph or Photographer

This one is a bit different, so find a famous photograph, and copy it with an example from your mobile.

Good luck to all.

BIke was a tricky one, would have to be exceptional (beyond my ability, so fluke) pic for me to enter one. Well done to wibble - lovely pic.

Will try to get one for this month, quite a novel theme.

After Araki.

I found this very very hard, as I don't follow photography that well and I only know a few photographers, and they are all much better at what they do than I can ever be.

So, on that note, this may not seem up to Araki's standards, but it does contain several elements that he uses. The cat (his he believes to be the soul of his dead sweetheart if I remember correctly, mine was more interested in the light from my phone), the kimono, the semi naked girl, the yakuza style tattoo.

I took it on a htc legend, using the normal camera on a black and white setting. Gentle re-touch in iPhoto and a slight crop.

Holy shit.

A. Had completely forgotten about this months comp, planned to think about and enter - didn't.

B. Can't believe Nhatt is the only entry so far.

C. Great standard to set, Nhatt. I'd better my thinking cap on.

Thanks, it literally took hours of googling the three photographers I know/like before I got to this point.

Not sure whether to go into it with an image in mind. Or a photographer in mind, or go through old ones to see if something strikes me.

If in doubt. Google.

I actually felt this month would have no entries at all. I personally found the subject matter very hard. What do you do when you can't get Robert Mapplethorpe's most discussed images out of one's head? Surely I can't takes pix of coppiThat naked can I? It would seem apt, as he was the prime champion of this month's theme. Just desserts and all that. :D

Please, don't anybody tell me that coppiThat has already been exposed thus. I may not frequent every part of this forum, but I'm not blind or dead either.

Also found this very hard but ended up this photo which I like to think is kind of in the style of Ralph Gibson, only really in the sense that it is concentrated on a section of the female torso and has some very dark parts and very light bits.
I think I might be clutching at straws a bit though. Not reeaally sure that it is all that much like Ralph Gibson. Wish I knew more about photography.
I made the photo black and white and fiddled with the contrast a bit. Taken on a Sony W995.

So this is why we don't see sorethroat at South Easts any more. Fair enough.

surprised no-one's had a go at the classic Cartier-Bresson cyclist photo - too cliched?
