A day out with a vintage Nokia Asha 300, with images cropped to the 16:9 cinematic image aspect ratio.

I am not into movie-making here, just the fun of having a few images cropped to the 2.4:1 cinematic image aspect ratio and a visual storyboard of a Sunday outing with the Nokia Asha 300, the camera phone I have been regularly using for the past few months.
The 2.4:1 cinematic image aspect ratio or anamorphic format is a cinematography technique that shoots a widescreen picture on standard 35 mm film or other visual recording media with a non-widescreen native aspect ratio.

When projected, the 'distorted' images are again stretched through an anamorphic projection lens to recreate the original aspect ratio on the viewing screen.
While we do have mobile devices that are starting to use the 21:9 format, these images are not. They were shot on the Nokia Asha 300 at its native 4:3 image aspect ratio, post-processed, and cropped to the 2.4:1 image aspect on Olympus Viewer 3 (OV3). Final print sharpening was done on Google NIK Sharpener Pro3.
