This forum is about photography so let's share some pictures!

Here's a couple I took last week at the Proms, long wait for the day tickets. No camera, so I used my mobile. :)

Hi Nina

Thanks for sharing. The technical quality of the images is stunning, given that taking pictures is your phone's secondary function. The aesthetic quality is without question, of course. :)

The first is obviously a candid, but the three girls in the second shot must have been aware of you if you were using a camera phone, since you would have been quite close. Did it make it easier that you were shooting with something which does not look like a camera?

Undoubtedly I would not have taken the second one with my large and conspicuous 5D. What helped here was that the girls were wearing sunglasses so I couldn't see if they were aware of what I was doing or not. :)

They seem quite happily absorbed in their own conversation really so might not have noticed a quick shot. Nice one.
