Samsung’s old champion grabs Photo of the Week

This edition of Photo of the Week is again dominated by older devices, which you’ve put to a good use. Without further ado, here are this week’s top photographs.
This week’s best photo

Shot in Downtown Mahnattan last summer, Athanasios Palagkas took this photo with the telephoto lens of a Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra. It captures a New York City scene that’s both iconinc and rather mysterious. The choice to take this photo in black-and-white adds a cinematic touch to the moody atmopshere. The steam rising from the street vents and the high-contrast pavement make for an intriguing juxtaposition.
This week’s honorable mention

Shot with an unspecified Pixel phone, this is dominated by the soft, warm colors of a beautiful sunset. While not braking any new ground, Huy Duy Anh Lê has captured the serenity of the golden hour and that’s often a challenge.
