Mobile Phone Photography Contest Round #118 // When the Phone in Your Hand Becomes the Eye That Sees Beauty


This contest reminds me that there is no reason for a cellphone with a camera that is not good for us to take some pictures so we can participate in this very interesting context and besides that, those of us who participate in this contest also do not need an expensive camera, do not need a lens of thousands of dollars, and with enough eyes that are willing to stop, feet that are willing to stop and also fingers that are not heavy to open the camera, all the moments are immediately captured by the cellphone lens.

Good evening, HIVE friends, wherever you are. As always, I hope you are all staying healthy and happy, allowing you to go about your daily activities smoothly, and I hope you all have a wonderful day.

In this simple blog, I want to share some images with this beloved community as I participate in the context of mobile phones, who entered the 118th round..

So, please continue to follow my simple blog to see some of the images, along with short articles from me.

This afternoon, I took a little time to enjoy the afternoon atmosphere in the countryside. As I began to enjoy the rural atmosphere in the afternoon, I took out my cell phone to take some pictures to show all of you in this beloved community what the atmosphere in my area is like, especially the atmosphere around the main road.

My friends...
My village is located a little far from the city, so the atmosphere is very peaceful and pristine. Furthermore, the weather in my village is often cloudy.
And in these few pictures, I think you can get a glimpse of what the atmosphere in my village is like.

Like most villages, the beauty of my village lies in the expanse of agriculture, especially the eye-catching rice paddies. But beyond that, my village also boasts pristine open spaces and forests, even alongside the roads people use daily.

And, as you might imagine, the plantations in my village provide a unique, rural atmosphere. I find the atmosphere of a rural plantation very different from that of a city.

Here, the silence and coolness blend together, creating a truly calming experience.

And here are some of the key images that motivated me to enter this round of the mobile phone contest. The photo is of the moment the sun begins to set.

My friends...
In this image, you can see the orange sun slowly descending behind the hill, with palm leaves and bananas forming a black backdrop against the sky, which gradates with the colors of the setting sun.

This photo also taught me that beauty doesn't wait for us to be ready. I think if I had been two minutes late, the ball would have already set. This moment reminded me of this contest, which has made me so sensitive to my surroundings since entering.

From all the images above, you can see that even a simple camera on a mobile phone can capture extraordinary beauty and moments. From the sun remaining orange even when shot with a simple phone, the village road remaining winding even without an ultra-wide lens, to the green garden remaining cool even without an expensive filter.

And so, those are some of the images I'm sharing at this meeting as my participation in the 118th round of the mobile phone camera contest. I also invite all my friends to join and take part in this very interesting contest. Because for me, what we need right now isn't an extraordinary picture, but what we need right now, is to take out our mobile phones and take some pictures. Tell a simple story because the world doesn't need perfect photos, the world just needs your perspective.

Okay, my friends, those are some of the images I'm sharing in this contest. I hope you all like and are entertained by what I share. I also express my sincere gratitude to all of you who have taken the time to view and read my blog to the end.

Leave your comments, support, and input, which means a lot to me so I can create a better blog in the future. That's all for now. See you in the next contest.
