Photos from the winners of the sixth annual
iPhone Photography Awards have been posted on the
IPPA website, displaying some of the best pictures taken with an iPhone over the course of the past year.
The photo subjects range from portraits of animals and people to landscapes, with the first place photo depicting a close-up shot of a horse. The second and third place photos were taken during a Holi festival of colors and a snowstorm, respectively.
In addition to the top three photos of the year,
the website also displays the winners from a number of categories, including architecture, nature, seasons, and food.
According to the rules of the contest, all photos were taken with an iPhone. No external manipulation was permitted, though photo editing apps such as Instagram and Snapseed were allowed to be used.
Apple's iPhone remains the
most popular camera choice on photo sharing website Flickr, a title that it
has held since 2009. As the iPhone has grown in popularity as a point-and-shoot camera replacement, Apple has worked hard to improve its photo taking capabilities. The iPhone 5
introduced an impressive 8-megapixel camera with enhanced HDR and low-light capabilities and the iPhone 5S, coming in
September, is expected to offer
further camera improvements.
