Taken with a mobile phone - who needs an (expensive) digital SLR these days?

[Gerard Klaassen]

While my wife had an eye operation in hospital a few years ago, I could either wait several hours with all the tension that entails or go outside and find some relaxation with - for the first time in my life - a simple mobile phone used as a camera! Photo is mirrored afterwards, horizontally and vertically. The saturated colors are as they were, no special editing is done.

Quite an intriguing photo composition, Gerard.

Great image Gerard. I am impressed with my aging iPhone's images and the more recent models are quite staggering.

 

[Pete Askew]

Wonderfully effective, Gerard. Did you envisage it mirrored like this when you took it?

 

[Stan Hesketh]

A great shot. I rarely think to use the camera in my phone, which is much higher res. than the DSLR I am currently enjoying!
You have inspired me to use my phone camera more.

As they say, the best camera is the one with you. Interesting modifications to the original image. I am also wondering when you envisioned the final image.

The position of this building is right behind the hospital and the view of the structure was quite limited, so I already knew that I had to do something with the cropping of the lower part of the photo.
In looking for a good cropping I messed around a bit and then I mirrored the building horizontally and at the same time figured out that I also had to mirror it vertically to actually get a weird effect.
