Competitions... I've entered a few in my time and even won a small number.
Latest one I've entered is more in the spirit of the thing and hardly for the prize-which is another photographer's secondhand and now obsolete i-phone 3G. The photographer in question is US-based Chase Jarvis who has held a photo competition to decide who will get his old apple phone after upgrading his own to the new 3GS.

I don't own an i-phone, although I'd love to upgrade my own Nokia N82. The irony is that much as I hate my N82 and it's tiny buttons and shiny reflective case,(which makes texting a nightmare), the camera in it is the best bit. It's 5mp as opposed to the 3mp one in Chase's new apple phone. My Nokia has a Zeiss lens too, which is a bit like putting F1 tyres on a Ford Anglia.

Sifting through the nearly 3,000 photos in Mr Jarvis's competition, one thing is certain. It doesn't really matter what equipment is used to take a photo, it's the creativity that matters. Like here for instance.

Flipping through the photos several subjects seem popular. Yellow lines on roads being just one. Perhaps they represent the boundaries of how far we can push things as photographers. I don't expect to win with my offerings on there, but I have enjoyed looking at each and every one of those images on Chase's competition.
