Thanks for voting for my bee picture, but frankly, i am out of ideas for a specific topic and discarded many too narrow ideas in the last days.
So i thought why not simply ask you to do the best with your given setup to show off how good you know your camera and its strong points.

Just do your thing!

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 June 29th after 08:00 UTC and ends at between 08:00 and 23:59 UTC on June 30th.

I noticed only recently that phone cameras can be good at macro photography, so I gave this a try (you really need to see this at a large size):

Not my entry, but after I damaged my screen I decided to order some protection for my precious. So when the new screen arrives it's in a warm and save home:


@nosuch: Amazing shot

You're right about that. Here's an oldie up-close with a purple coneflower, shot back in 2010 on my old Sony-Ericsson K550i, so doesn't qualify for this month's contest. That old candybar really did take nice closeups in good light. It would be retired in just a few months when I finally got my N900.




Full album of some old favorite closeups shot on phone, including the K550i, N900 and N9.

What is that? Is it some kind of succulent? Fascinating plant and lovely photo, too.

yes, orbea speciosa. Quite easy to keep and likes to flower a lot during summer. Easy to propagate but takes a few seasons to grow and start flowering. Also, occasional replanting is best to do after flowering period because then you have better chance that it will settle in new pot and flower next season.

Ok guys, please stop posting further pics. This isn't to outmatch. Pichlo is the winner! He is exactly doing what I really like.

Yammi, yammi who is now still interested in photos. More beer please!
