Ben Pilling<\/h3>\n

This week\u2019s photograph is by Ben Pilling, taken using a Sony Xperia 1<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\t\t

\n\t\t\t\"smartphone<\/a>\t\t\t

Sony Xperia 1, F2.4, 1\/50 sec, ISO 100<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n

“Normally, I shoot with Sony Full-Frame mirrorless<\/a> cameras and a wide variety of lenses and subjects. Owing to the restrictions in recent times, I’ve been photographing a much higher percentage of British landscapes and nature. During this period I’ve also really got into running, heading out early morning and witnessing some great scenes and while I would love to have my Sony Alphas with me all the time, we all know the saying – the best camera is the one that’s with you!<\/span>\u00a0With my Xperia 1 tracking my run and providing the soundtrack for it, it’s become the ideal camera to capture those stunning views.<\/span><\/p>\n

The image is of the Humber Bridge. I was out on another early morning run with barely a soul in sight. The fog was extremely dense and this leant to a great view from beneath the bridge. I tried to ensure that I was in the centre of the bridge with the lines running into the corner of the frame. I also wanted to include some of the fence at the bottom of the frame to add another element into the shot. <\/span><\/p>\n

The phone itself has 3 front cameras (26mm equivalent, 53mm equivalent and 16mm equivalent). Here I used the 52mm equivalent lens to get the best perspective. The image was quickly edited in Snapseed on the phone and came out just as I wanted. I also used an app called Instasize<\/a> to ensure that the whole image was displayed on Instagram as sometimes images taken in the vertical orientation are cropped. Needless to say, when taking the photo I made sure to pause my running app on my phone!”<\/span><\/p>\n
