    A question Joanne about the main theme of the contest: only real night shots are eligible or is a “Nuit americaine” processing allowed ?

    thanks

    Davide

    Hi Joanne,

    Can we use images taken with dslr cameras but processed with our iphone/ipads?
    Also wondering what Davide means by “Nuit Americaine” processing??
    Thanks much!
    Cecily

  • Cecily

    The reason I asked is because my iphone night shot images are just extremely pixelated!! I am assuming all images need to be captured on an iphone/ipad though.
