Phone Camera Competition May 2020: Superpowers
 

Hello fellow kiddos!
This month will have a juvenile influence.
Since i did not want to decorate myself too much with my daughters cake, it is at least her honor to send us into recent popculture with "Superpowers" as the leading line of the competiton.

She spoke about animals and their superpowers compared to us. Since cuteness is a superpower according to her, we may be able to again have a very broad definition of what our actual subjects could be :D

Rules are as usual:
Photos must be taken during this month (after theme is announced) and posted before voting starts.
Photos must be taken by the posting member.
Photos must be taken with a phone camera.
Post processing is allowed but you have to say what you did.
Users must name the phone and software they used.
Users post only one photo per entry.
Users can change the entry only once.
3 day voting period starts on May 29th after 08:00 UTC and ends at between 08:00 and 23:59 UTC on May 31th.

Is destruction a superpower? Because I have one Nokia N900 which doesn't boot due to not enough space on rootfs, another Nokia N900 which doesn't boot because of multiboot-something-something, another Nokia N900 which no longer detects SIM card (it was the last Nokia N900 I was using of the three devices mentioned), and now an Fxtec Pro1 which doesn't take photographs or detect SIM slots (because of how I broke it with Sailfish OS updates).

Anyway, sad jokes aside, there is still a lot of time ahead within this month. Even if I will have to dig out Nokia N900 in order to be able to take photographs of anything at all.

Thank you. Best wishes.

I lost my cam while making my sim work with N900 (and sim works!) but now I do not take pictures. Possibly gonna start using N9 for pictures as a pocket camera.

While visible to camera, the hue was lost for naked eye.

Thank you. Best wishes.

^^ Was it taken with a Camera Obscura, Wiki? (As it looks 180° rotated :p)

Just Fxtec Pro1 upside down, I guess - I didn't notice. But in Gallery it's the right way up.

Thank you. Best wishes.

The Pro1 seems to create images upside-down and rotate them with metadata; which means that anything that can strip the metadata (e.g. uploading to a forum) reverts to the hardware output rotation.

If you looking for the cam module, I remember the same is used in N97 mini.

Back in the day before -- I just Altavista or Lycos anything and have the internet at my fingertips, it took me an Imperial eon (aeon?) to find a copy of that novel. From what I've read lately, there's a newly available recently English translation that's been well-received. Maybe if our libraries ever re-open, I can get a copy of that.

My college physics building had a lab where the individual experiment rooms had light-blocking door sweeps and blackout curtains on the windows. I didn't need a dark room -- I don't know what experiments needed that actually -- but I pulled the curtain to see just how dark it could get -- very dark was the answer. But when my eyes adjusted a bit, on the wall opposite the window was the outside world, upside down! There was a tiny pinhole fissure in the blackout curtain! I'd read of camera obscura, so it wasn't a total surprise to me, but it was fun to see the effect for real and in person.
