@chenliangchen, you forgot to mention the phone you used to take that picture. I am really impressed with the moon. All the pictures I made of the moon even with real cameras ended up burnt out. No chance to see the maria like in your photo.

This morning I was watching the last 1/2 hr of the lunar eclipse had to just tell myself to enjoy the spectacle and not bother taking out the Jolla phone..

But your picture shows clearly that with the old but mighty 808 Pureview, a lot is possible as you got the full moon captured with nice detail retention.

Next one is not due until 2018, so there.
Missed that as well, it was just ten minutes...

It was taken by 808. The moon was quite bright in night sky was trying to avoid over exposure. I turned ISO to the lowest (125 on 808) and exposure to the lowest as well (-4) ND filter on. but since 808 does not have option to adjust shutter time I turned on flashlight. (That looks weird, I know...) to reduce shutter time and I got that picture. (And no need to use tripod)

Tried same setting with Panasonic CM1 the same time but I never got a good picture as 808.

I'm not happy to say that this month there won't be any voting. I appreciate Casanunda's, ste-phan's and chenliangchen's efforts but the last photo is disqualified because it's not really what the theme says and two entries aren't enough for voting. So I guess I'll just make an open theme competition next month...

I'm not pleased at all with the response this month, and I can't find a way to interest people anymore.
This competition was created to have a little fun on the forum and I can't offer any prizes either so help me, suggest something that could improve the competition. Any suggestions and talk will go to this thread. Thanks.

I've gotta admit that I was never in a position this month to take a picture of a sunrise or sunset; either the sun wasn't there (cloudy), or the cellphone wasn't there (I find that I don't carry mine around much at those times of day), or I wasn't there (indoors during that time ). This subject demanded a bit more preparation on my part than others...

That said, I think it was a fine topic, and I don't think it didn't interest people (at least not me).

Yeah, I'm guilty of that one as well. I bring my camera with me and shoot some stuff in the morning or evening but all of a sudden I forget that I have a phone in my pocket. If it weren't for this competition I probably would never even shoot with my phone now after I've bought myself a new camera.

I went and tried a few times when the light was good and other responsibilities were at least briefly lifted, but just couldn't get a good subject and shot in the limited radius I'm allowed to roam in at those times of day. I liked the theme, but still failed . . .

But thanks to the posters of the entries that were received, and I'll try harder next month.

BTW, my wife -- not a member here, but rather an iPhone user -- accidentally got a pretty good pic in the theme of the month. I probably should have gone ahead posted it in the "non-adjudicated, exhibit-only" category

There might be more entries join on the last day. But even with 2 entries we can still have a vote, as last year "Imperial and Commonwealth" topic just had 2 entries as well. I guess it happens sometime.
