Mobile photography.
Mobile photography is the phrase used to describe photographic images taken with a mobile device such as a phone, iPod or tablet computer (e.g. iPad). The invention of more sophisticated camera lenses for mobile devices, plus the amazing variety of inexpensive applications (apps) available have created a rich and diverse culture for photographers and editors.
More than 250 million iphones have been sold and the introduction of apps such as Flickr and Instagram means that millions of people are creating and sharing mobile images . There is even a competition called the iPhone Photography Awards .
So many people take mobile pictures it is quite hard to find particularly famous photographers to look at.

“I believe that, more than ever before, photography is about a community and a culture, rather than the camera.” - Oliver Lang
Oliver Lang is one of the founding members of the Mobile Photo Group. He shoots street photography in streets of Sydney with his iPhone, using the Pro Camera application and capturing phenomenal light and moments in his images. He shoots every single day and even processes his images in the iPhone with the Snapseed application.
I like the way he has created a frame from the alleyway and you can see the contrast between the shadows and the sun light.
I like the way this picture is backlit from the sun giving the .The black and white effect in this photo makes the picture "stand out" more.There isnt a focus point on the image because it
This picture is very effective because the raindrops relfect the light making them visible in the dark image.
Adam Smith described himself an amateur mobile photographer who's main subjects are his family.
"I photograph my kids a lot because they're basically the extent of my friend base." iPhone only

This picture looks simple but is effective.
It has been taken from a birds eye view with the subject probably lying on the floor - you can tell this because her hair is sprawled out and it looks like a solid concrete background.

This is another simple but effective picture.
The positioning of the children is natural looking even though they have been placed in height order and are wearing animal masks and are all facing in one direction. This works well with the diagonal pattern of the wooden planks in the background.

I like the simplicity of this photo. The picture has captured the personality of the child and his creativity - using a twig as a sword and a bin lid as a shield.
I like the way he has made the child the main focus in this image , he could have done this using the circle focus tool on a variety of iphone apps.

I really like this photograph as it reminds me of experimenting with light photography techniques while on the photography trip to Anglesey.
The colours blend well together - I like the way the sunset in the background complements the darker foreground and the light effects.
At first I thought he had used a slow shutter speed to capture the firework / sparkler / light streams. However the man's arm above his head is not as blurred as I would have expected for the amount of light.

The brightness of the firework in this picture is due to the photographer using a long length exposure (shutter speed 2-10 seconds) . This requires using a tripod as without one the picture would show camera shake and the streams of light would not have been as crisp and clear.
The ISO setting would probably have been 100-200 because the higher the ISO the more noise there would be in the image.

Mobile pictures taken on visit to the centre of Manchester
I was pleased with the quality of the pictures taken on the ipad and I experimented with different viewpoints. It was also easy to crop and enhance the photos. My favourite photos were of the big wheel and the rock path.
Other mobile picture's - experimenting with filters
Original images - taken with an ipad
Edited Pictures - After rotating the pictures I chose different filters and levels of brightness to add more emotion to the original pictures. For example in the corridor pictures the edited versions looks more mysterious.
These pictures were taken on the ipad and edited with the split pic app where picture formats are selected and effects applied and merged.
