Images taken with the 1MP 7610 cameraphone

Handset maker Nokia promoted the release of a new phonecam/PDA with help from renowned British fashion photographer Rankin, and a bunch of hot nekkid fairy chicks.

Rankin was given an advance trial of Nokia's latest and highest-resolution cameraphone, the 7610. With it, he crafted six huge A2 sized photographs and 60 other shots, inspired by the legendary Cottingley fairy photographs. By running the images through software filters, the former co-founder of the legendary Dazed & Confused magazine managed to conjure up incredibly sharp images of beautiful women posed as woodland fairies. All this from a one-megapixel cameraphone with 4 x digital zoom, and a very sharp colour display.

Hey, I think I can see a nipple!

That's a good quality picture though! Mind you, it says it's been run through filters and such like - I wonder what the original photo's quality was like, before being touched up (no pun intended) or run through filters?

Agree with Sammy_boy. It's not fair if you've used filteers afterwards. There's a lot of amazing things you can do with Photoshop.
