Rio de Janeiro by my 5Mp phone camera

[Otavio]

Hi. Here are some images from Rio de Janeiro, all shot with my cell phone (Samsung Galaxy with a 5Mp camera). Of course they can't be compared with DSLR images but these toys have evolved quite a lot and they come in hand in many situations where you just happen to go to a place but without your "battle horse"! C&C welcomed, as always. Thanks for viewing. Cheers,

1 - A view of Copacabana beach, from Hotel's pool area.


2 - Saint Cristóvão Cathedral - Shot from a front building, through a glass.


3 - Atlântica Avenue


4 - Buildings in Downtown - Shot from the 12th floor of a building glass wall (sorry for the reflections).


5 - Port area, over Rio-Niterói bridge.

This series proves that gear is of no concern whatsoever when placed in the hands of a competent photographer.

Hahaha... Greg, it is the same here. Besides the selfies, they now use the front camera as a "mirror", to retouch make ups, lipstick, etc. I prefer shooting landscapes!

Thank you, Christina! Much appreciated. I am glad you liked the compositions.

Thank you! Cheers,

The only problem with that Otavio is, just when you are about to get that shot of a lifetime, someone would ring you lol

[Paniaa]

All beautiful images + what Mike said. Thanks for the inspiration

How do you use the phone as a mirror?? Maybe I'm too old, probably anyone over 35 won't get it, what??

I would not answer such a call, David. So, maybe that would not be an issue! LOL. Regards, mate.
