Phone Camera Competition March 2020: Leftovers in the twilight zone
 
So here is the theme for March: Leftovers in the twilight zone.

Explanation: People who are looking the picture should not look for the things that are in the light and well seen, but things which are lurking in the shadows, on the edge of light rays, in the twilight zone.

There was in one of the competitions here some pictures where I really loved to check what was lurking in the shadows. Things which were presented but not intended to be in focus or watched. But now those things are the ones where should be the focus of the one watching the image. So there may be something presented in good light, but what means is what and how something is captured in the shadows. Good luck to me as well on this one.

Anything goes, as long as it seems to be even trying to grab the theme and answer it.

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 March 29th at 23:59 UTC and ends at 23:59 UTC on March 31st.

Wow, that's specific! We've never managed to achieve anything anywhere near that precision. :D

This is not my entry and not the best example but at least something. The contrast can be much lesser and it could be maybe better to have a certain clear object where the focus is but then in the surroundings would have that thing that is actually more interesting. I myself am hoping to find some situation to shoot, where something is happening in the backround and yet there would be a target where to focus as it would seem to be a valid object to focus on.

Was searching with my metal detector yesterday morning about 8am. On saturday found from the same spot a lead grain sack mark with very nice two headed eagle stamp from the tsar era while Russia was still governing Finland. People find these all the time but for me it was the first one.

Unless I say something else, all my pictures here are taken with N900 with BlessN900 with adjustments for brightness and contrast plus downscaled to about 75 to get it loaded here.

Lost again camera on N900 after it got a bit wet while cycling in rain. Tried opening closing the lid and the little metal piece fell on the ground. Taped it on place and it did not work with that either. Restart the phone did nothing, neither uninstalling and reinstalling BlessN900. Neither worked, stock or Bless. Thought that maybe the camera is still wet and almost started to disasemble the whole thing. But followed endsos advice and searched the forum first and found install --reinstall fcam-drivers and viola - camera works again. I wrote viola on purpose. Too bad I had this problem while I spotted a target for the competition which I couldn't now shoot.

Not absolutely sure of how this picture relates with the topic. Or is it the absence of people? That would be a bit abstract angle but understandable. or is there something I missed?

Looked the image with N900 so a bit small screen.
