Mobile Photography & Art – My Top Five Apps by Karen Axelrad – Berlin, Germany

Scroll through your camera roll for an accidental coupling then lock one or both photos and try various filters out. The results are fun and surprising. I also save…
Mobile Photography & Art Flickr Group Showcase – 29 October 2017
This week has been an interesting one, half way through it I spoke with highly talented mobile artist, Jane Schulz on the telephone.

It’s entitled “Women who run with the Wolves: Contacting the Power of the Wild Woman”, written and thoroughly researched by Dr Clarissa Pinkola Estes. This book was recommend to me by an incredibly talented Vogue photographer that I have…
Mobile Photography – Huawei Mate 10 Pro Reviewed – DxOMark
Just published by DxOMark, the Huawei Mate 10 Pro review makes interesting reading. “Featuring a dual-camera setup developed in cooperation with Leica, and which combines a 12Mp RGB with a 20Mp monochrome sensor, it achieves an overall DxOMark Mobile score of 97 points. This ranks the Mate 10 Pro as the currently second-best device we have tested, just a single point behind the Google Pixel 2.”, said Paul Carroll. Having explored this handset myself at a recent press event I can confirm that it was incredibly pleasing and I just love the Leica optics that Huawei install on their handsets.
