I took this on my old LG Nexus 3 that I dragged out of retirement whilst my superdooper 20mp Sony phone was being repaired.
The lens flare/backlighting was intended but I didn’t expect to get a good shot as I was on a very excitable horse that would much prefer to canter forward/sideways than stand still, reins and whip in one hand, gloves in teeth and the other hand holding the phone and at the same time trying to tap the shutter button 🙂
My Moto G is defo the not best phone but its been pretty solid, surviving being smashed around cycle touring Sweden and Norway so I can live with the average camera quality.
Heres a pic of where I live
I love this photo; I’d been staying with friends who live not far from where it was taken, and for three days the cloud-base was 100′ lower than their house, with strong winds and drizzle, so I didn’t leave the guest accommodation I was in, except to drive down to the pub in the evening, and this was the first day with clear weather, although there were showers, and you can see the ‘cat’s paws’ on the sea surface, the little yacht had just weighed anchor and was heading back towards Dartmouth on the other side of the bay. I’ve got a fairly big print of this on my wall at work, and I could look at it for hours, given the opportunity!
Start Point lighthouse on the right, Hallsands, then Beesands, then Slapton Sands on the left.
Not quite a smartphone, but not a DSLR. Took my GoPro up to the quarries on Portland but we had too much fun to be bothered with it. When the post ride beers started though…
