Iconic images to be auctioned for charity online from June 14 to 19th
TORONTO, June 15, 2015 /CNW/ - The new LG G4 smartphone delivers unprecedented photo, image and viewing quality. Jayscale, Canadian daredevil photographer and social media sensation, puts the G4's camera to the ultimate test in a skyscraping photographic expedition across Canada. Using only the LG G4, Jayscale has captured breathtaking images of Montreal, Toronto and Vancouver from dizzying heights – taken with permission and safety precautions from rooftops, helicopters and iconic sites. The LG G4 features a leading-edge camera with outstanding low light capabilities, making it the ideal device to create spectacular cityscape photos from dusk till dawn. The resulting images will be sold to the highest bidder in an online auction benefitting Make-A-Wish® Canada. The auction is accessible to all Canadians online at LGG4Auction.com.
Unprecedented features
The LG G4 – which officially launches in Canada on June 19th – features a 16 MP front facing camera with advanced photography features for brighter, more detailed images, superior colour contrast and a manual mode offering more creative control than ever experienced in a smartphone. The camera is complemented by the world's first IPS Quantum Quad HD display providing a beautiful viewing experience on the 5.5-inch display and an elegant, optional leather back design or metallic back design (both included in box, and a curved form factor that fits comfortably in your hand).
"When I'm on the top of a building or snapping photos from a door-less helicopter I only have a few seconds to capture the perfect shot," said Jayscale, a Toronto-based photographer. "The advanced camera features in the LG G4, which include the option to output raw photo files, have allowed me to take my photography to new heights. I am excited to partner with LG to deliver a series of photos in the style of this new emerging art form taken from new perspectives. I'm happy the photos will raise money to help grant the wishes of children with life-threatening medical conditions."
