ICan Xperia 48 hour global phenomenon

Recently I was chosen by Sony Mobile South Africa to be one of 48 Instagrammers from 48 cities to be involved in the #ICan campaign.

Myself and the other 47 Instagrammers from all over the world were tasked with capturing extraordinary moments that occurred in our everyday life using our Xperia Z3/Z3 Compact.

The focus was on the following three features of the Xperia Z3/Z3 Compact:

A 48 hour battery life, hence 48 hour time period.

Waterproof capabilities.

A 20.7 MP camera that can capture images in low light conditions.

We had to post photos that focused on these three features.

Those in the campaign and the public were encouraged to share their images over a 48 hour period using the #ICan and #Xperia hashtags. Each city held an Instameet where Instagrammers met up to take photos that were then posted on Instagram. I hosted an Instameet in the Green Point Urban park and one lucky person won an Xperia Z3 Compact.

Here is a video of the Instameet, filmed entirely on the Xperia Z3:

These are the images that I shared over the build-up and the 48 hour period from the 13th to the 14th of June.

Over the next couple of days, become part of my world. See how I capture moments that make my life extraordinary. #ICan use my #Xperia to capture amazing moments and so can you! Join the #48hour #Xperia #ICan global phenomenon and start posting your pics today that highlight extraordinary moments for you.
