Apple Announces Macro Photography 'Shot on iPhone' Challenge

Are you entering?

I might. Still thinking about it. I’m not too sure. But the whole social media kicks me too.

Not just me that sees the irony in Apple offering a macro photography competition whilst not allowing manual focus (or manual anything else) on their camera app?

Shame that Apple can't receive submissions for their own promotion directly.

In response to @3rdiguy

Fair enough but I believe that was added after the fact in an edit.

“Apple is also accepting entries via email at shotoniphone@apple.com.”

I love Macro photography and am really looking forward to seeing the top 10 pictures Apples’s judges choose.

Apple is worth a Trillion dollars, you’d think they’d have nice cash prizes for the winners.

I think having one’s name on the winning photograph would be worth a lot.

Anyone notice that Phil Schiller is no longer a judge this year as he was in all previous years? (He got replaced by Kaiann Drance).

Really says a lot about the quietly changing leadership at Apple.

BRING BACK GOOD OL' PHIL

Another Shot on iPhone campaign! Apple will be getting many submissions.

And you win…?

Exposure bucks. Even as a massive Apple fan boy I’m still not working for free.

They pay a licensing fee for the 10 images selected, plus the photographer retains the rights to the image, whilst the agreement of the licence (to which they are paid) gives Apple the rights to use the image. In black and white on the promotion page.

Macro-mode! One of the best feature of the iPhone. This is a fun challenge.

Only for those "Pro" users than can play.

Mini tears over here are NOT so small 🙁

hehe.
