Photos from the winners of the eighth annual iPhone Photography Awards have been posted on the IPPA website, offering a look at some of the best pictures captured with an iPhone over the course of the past year.
As in previous years, the photos feature a range of different subjects, from people to landscapes to animals. This year's first place photo, by Michal Koralewski from Poland, depicts a man playing traditional Polish songs on an accordion.
The second place photo is an impressively clear image of a bird in flight, while the third place winner features a couple on a train. According to the contest, all photos were taken with an iPhone, and photo editing with apps like Instagram and VSCO was permitted.
Along with the top three winners, IPPA also chooses winning photographs from several different categories, including animals, architecture, children, flowers, food, landscapes, nature, panorama, and more. The image below, taken in Cairo, took the top slot in the "Travel" category.
Apple's iPhone 6, iPhone 5s, and iPhone 5 continue to rank as the three most popular cameras on photo sharing site Flickr, which is no surprise given the quality of the images that can be captured with the phones. Apple continually improves the picture quality in its iPhones, and rumors have suggested that the upcoming iPhone 6s could include the biggest camera jump yet.
Photos from all of the winners of the 2015 iPhone Photography Awards can be found on the IPPA website. The site is also now accepting entries for the 2016 awards.

(View all)Wow, these are… actually quite unimpressive.
What's unimpressive is allowing filtering software in a photography competition. Are we supposed to be judging the photographer's picture-taking abilities, or their ability to make their pictures more interesting by enhancing contrast, boosting color saturation, or adding a color cast to enhance the landscape they took?
Just appreciate the picture and stop thinking about it too much. :rolleyes:
I do like the iphone camera for quickie photos or documentation. I had to catch a fast photo of a drain pipe problem at my last apartment and the phone was "good enough." I consider it the digital version of the old snapshot film cameras with the 110 and 126 Kodak style cartridges of film.
