This Award-Winning Image Was Shot On A Phone — Yes, Really! Is This The Final Proof That Mobile Cameras Can Rival Traditional Gear?

The Royal Meteorological Society has revealed the winners of the 2025 Standard Chartered Weather Photographer of the Year competition, celebrating the 10th anniversary as one of the world’s most visually striking photography awards. Selected from over 4,000 entries from 84 countries, the winning images capture the beauty, drama, and unpredictable power of the natural world.

And it might surprise some that this photograph was captured entirely on a Xiaomi smartphone camera – proving that you don’t need a DSLR or mirrorless camera to capture high-quality imagery.
