The iPhone Photography Awards website recently announced the winners of their 2014 contest. You can view the winning images on their website.
The thought that struck me while viewing the gallery: there just wasn't a great deal of variety when it came to the images.
Sure, they were of different subjects, but they looked like they could have been taken by the same photographer. There just wasn't anything truly distinctive about any of the images.
The similarity in the images is caused by the limitations imposed by including camera technology inside a phone. Modern phones are extremely thin. This limits the distance between the sensor and the lens, and this greatly limits the type of images that can be produced.
Don't believe me?
Go through the galleries and find an image where focus is used to isolate the subject from the background.
That is what struck me when viewing all those iPhone images.
Not one was capable of producing a sense of depth.
Phone cameras will never replace DSLR cameras until they are capable of doing so.
