Contact John Taylor 0418 670 501 The Mobile Photography Awards were founded in 2011 to recognize and celebrate the talent and imagery of the mobile photo & art communities. Alongside the annual competition (October-December), it produces themed exhibits with international open calls throughout the year.
If it’s true what Henri Cartier-Bresson says, that our first 10,000 photos will be our worst, then mobile photography has given people an historic opportunity to quickly get past 10,001. The MPA is a showcase for photographers and artists who have embraced this decisive moment. The 9th Annual awards have been announced and you can see the full list of winners and runners up by following the attached link. mobilephotoawards.com/9th-annual-mpa-winners-honorable-mentions/ There are many awe inspiring images including one from our very own Joe Mills - "Sydney Harbour Bridge from Bus Window during Storm" , in the Water / Snow / Ice section. A great effort when you consider he is mixing it with the best in the world! Photo by Joe Mills
NiSi Switch 100mm Filter HolderWHEN EDITING PHOTOGRAPHS in Lightroom, Photoshop or Capture One, do you find yourself using the graduated filter (or equivalent)?
And do you find yourself using two different graduated filters from time to time, at different angles? For instance, you might darken down the sky with the first graduated filter, then darken down the foreground next, leaving the middle of the image lighter and brighter. You can also do this 'in-camera' with graduated neutral density filters, placing two filters into the holder, one 'upside down'. And the amount and area of darkening can be adjusted by sliding the filters up and down. The only downside of using a filter is that its straight edge doesn't account for bumps in the landscape, like trees or mountains that break the horizontal horizon. But what happens if you need to angle one of the graduated filters? No trouble in Photoshop or Lightroom, but what can you do when you're using filters on a camera? Hand-holding the filters is one answer, but now NiSi has a better one! The NiSi Switch 100mm Filter Holder allows two filters to be rotated together or independently from each other. It’s designed for photographers who need graduated ND filters positioned at different angles, plus allows them to be rotated independently and smoothly. The NiSi Switch allows smooth 360 degrees rotation, but also has a locking screw to fix the back holder into position. The holder has no vignetting, even with a 16mm ultra wide-angle lens on a full-frame sensor. The NiSi Switch is compatible with existing 100mm NiSi filters and works with the 82 mm main adaptor, included in the following NiSi kits: V6/V5PRO/V5. So, if you are an existing NiSi user, you can just order the Switch as an additional filter holder to add to your kit. Price is expected to be $159 and you can purchase directly from NiSi – https://nisifilters.com.au/product/nisi-switch-100mm-filter-holder/. iPhone Photography evening
