Photo of the Week 23/2/22
After a short break, our Photos of the Week are back! Following the reel we posted on Instagram last week featuring some of our favourite sky photos (check that out here if you missed it!), we’re starting with this striking photo of a summer sunrise. Being able to photograph sunrises is definitely worth the early start, and their relatively delicate colours provide a nice contrast to the equally beautiful sunsets we so often see featured in photos. Below are a few details about what Phil used to take the photo:
Camera Details:
Camera: iPhone 12 Pro Max back triple camera
ISO: 25
Shutter Speed: 1/710s
Aperture: F2.4
Focal Length: 1.54mm
As you can see from the camera details, this photo was taken with an iPhone 12 Pro Max. While Phil most frequently uses Olympus cameras, this really shows what we so often say – phones really are capable of taking some great photos, as long as the subject matter is there, so don’t avoid taking a memorable photo just because you only have your phone with you. Of course, professional quality cameras are going to be the best options and, for certain types of photography like macro photography, you’re probably going to need a camera and a macro lens to get a properly good photo, but for things like landscape photography, phones can do a great job of capturing the moment really well, and can still produce a great photo.
The only editing Phil did on this photo was to drop the black point and shadows to enhance the silhouette foreground – the rest of the beautiful colours in the sky are as they appeared at the time.
Keep an eye out this time next week for our next Photo of the Week post!
