The diversity of phones, and the fact that you’ve used older models to snap some of the best photos show that technical specifications aren’t the most important factor in the creative process. It’s also not mandatory to own the latest and greatest to create something beautiful. Using the available tools with imagination and knowledge, and maybe having fun meanwhile, is what’s important.
Thank you for sharing with us the amazing moments and stories you’ve captured. It’s now a tradition, so we’re again having not only the winner but also a couple of honorable mentions.
This week’s best photo

Snapped with an iPhone 15 Pro, the Photo of the Week is by Christopher Smith. He captured something rather mundane but in a way that looks and feels different.
We’ll be honest – this photo doesn’t require a $999 iPhone 15 Pro and it is absolutely possible to achieve similar results with almost any other device. After all, shooting a source of light is technically quite easy. However, you don’t need technical struggles every time you get a nice photo.
This week’s honorable mentions

The other honorable mention this week is for Young Kim and his photo from the Wallace Falls State Park in Gold Bar, Washington in the United States. He had used a OnePlus 13R for this photo, which is the company’s best flagship killer. It fits our selection’s eerie mood this week and impresses with the details in the snowy trees and the textures of the rocks the phone managed to capture. Young Kim says the photo is straight from the camera and he didn’t edit it.
