Golden age for the 'everyday' photographer
As cameras get cheaper and smarter, and cellphones become more camera-like, it seems that everyone is a photographer these days.
You can see people capturing scenes of festivals, rainbows after the rain, smiling children or quirky behavior that surprises them, no matter what mobile devices they are holding in hand - be it camera, cellphone or tablet. No interesting, touching, or surprising moment goes unnoticed. The National Day holidays are coinciding with pleasant autumn - so are you ready for your own snapshots?
