Theme: Your favourite photo from 2024.

Hey Community!

Whether you participated in one of our Monthly Photo Challenges, or even had your photography featured at the Phone (2a) launch event in Delhi, it’s been a pleasure to see your images over the course of the year. Here’s a small selection of great photos from @AndreaFanelli, @Michael Photo and @Rahul.

My favourite photo from 2024:

I took this photo with the Phone (2a), codenamed Aerodactyl. It’s a fun nod to my prehistoric nerd brain, with the Jurassic Coast and its history, as well as Aerodactyl being a fossil Pokémon revived from Old Amber. The Phone (2a) itself was brought to life from the initial concepts of the Phone (1), making the connection even more meaningful to me.

I went on a day trip to Durdle Door and Lulworth Cove, hoping to find some prehistoric fossils. While I didn’t find any, I realised I had my own “Old Amber” in hand – the Nothing Phone (2a). Naruto, representing my journey, was the perfect companion for the shot.

Everything about this photo speaks to me: the character, the location, and the phone. This shot is straight out of the camera with no special settings.

That’s my one of the favourite photos in 2024.

I shot it by NP 2a Plus.

I shot it at the time when one afternoon I was coming back to my home from my school via Metro on 25th of August.

Sorry I just don’t remember which camera filter I applied while I clicked it.

But I can do say this, that it is a shot which will give you deja vu vibes

My favourite photo this year was taken in Milan. The photo was taken during my 1st time travelling to another country as part of my birthday celebrations. Having worked so hard for a few years it was a significant milestone in my journey as it was the first time I’ve been able to travel to another country.

I took this on my nothing phone 2 using one of the stock camera filters.

The photo was taken in March 2024.

This is my favorite photo of the year. Snowflake.

There was a lot of snow in my country recently, and I wanted to check out if the phone could handle the closeup photos.

I took the photo at November 27th, 2024 with Nothing Phone (2), stock camera app 2x telephoto lens and used image enhancing Python code which I coded by myself for better quality of the photo.

Shot on Nothing Phone 2a, 05.11.2024

Shot it when I was going to my night time job at Malbork Castle. It was a dark and foggy day and the lights illuminating the whole castle area made this moment beautiful.

This exact photo is unedited besides slightly lowering the brightness in the camera app.

I love this picture, because of how the 3 duos of subjects are layed out and how they seem to interact with each other (the elderly group reacts to how those pidgeons “hijacked” the table for some french fries, and that girl in the poster seems to take interest in the spectacle happening next to her, instead of enjoying a meal with her mom).

Shot on Phone (2), no adjustments, special equipment or much preparation before shooting. Thought it was the right moment, just pulled my phone out of my pocket, and shoot. That day I was on a photo taking spree for a college project.

I took the image on March 25th

NiteshJK yes we can

This was few months ago in a car show. There was raining a few minutes ago so the road is wet. My favorite image, because the car is nice and i just got a good quality on it. I love Phone 2’s camera.

Shot on Phone (2). I used the cameras depth effect option. Love the rainy road there. Had to remove the license plate.

Taken 20 July.

Taken on my canon 70d + sigma 17-50 f/2.8. I took it outside my local leisure center, saw some runners coming past and the sun glare through the trees, accommodated with the autumn orange leaves.

Edited using lightroom, but not much.

Natalie ✨ What camera or device did you use?

Does this mean even pictures clicked on a DSLR will also be considered in the challange?

This photo was captured at the Thames in Wandsworth with a long exposure technique, turning the usual light reflections into an ethereal aurora-like glow. Walking past the bridge daily, I often admired how the lights glittered on the water. Inspired, I set my Nothing Phone 2 to manual mode with a 6-second shutter speed and tilted the camera upward on the sixth second to create the aurora effect. Shot on November 13, 2024, this image transforms the everyday scene into something magical, blending the city’s lights with a touch of natural wonder.

Used Snapseed to process the RAW image and a bit of blur in foreground for depth.

Shot on: Nothing Phone-2

Manual mode: shutter 6 sec

Image: RAW

ISO: 200

Mi foto favorita de 2024 es la siguiente. Principalmente me impactó que la tomé en movimiento con mi Phone 1, con los ajustes por defecto y, sin embargo, resultó una foto fantástica.

La foto fue tomada en mayo de este año, en una plaza en Tres Lomas, Argentina. Me gusta la interpretación del color, el buen rango y la precisión de la captura, además de la combinación de colores. Ha sido una gran foto.

Tengo varias fotos más de este año que han salido muy bien, pero la mayoría son de paisajes. Elegí esta foto por la manera perfecta en que tomó a los nenes en movimiento sin que salgan desenfocados

Oxytocin✨

This is Oxy…my pet dog who died during an accident …this image really holds a lot of memories and feelings for me as this is the first photo i took of him when i met him in a park roaming around searching for some food.I captured him with my phone(1) while he was gazing at the glyphs…uff what a day it was🥹😭

I really miss him and there’s no other pet who can take his place for me♥️.

I was experiencing the camera module of my phone and tried to get a close shot of my eye and it turned out so well I was amazed 🥹
