Recently i had to be schooled into now knowing that water is and can not be wet, but only things in contact with water get or are wet.
And i learned to not trust my daughter without search engine recheck :D

reading the science article, i think it is not impossible that water is wet itself. At least, if it is frozen. :p

Re: Phone Camera Competition, August 2022: "wet water"
 

There has been a lot of discussion here on the "is water wet?" topic. It was fun. Could we start again, please?

Re: Phone Camera Competition, August 2022: "wet water"
 

I know there is a water shortage this summer. But that it is that critical, that there is not enough for a picture....

Damn, I nearly forgot about the competition. And now it's too late, we are going away for a week.

Xperia XA2, sorry for quality (in the name of Jolla ;))

Re: Phone Camera Competition, August 2022: "wet water"
 

Jolla 1, Scotland, 27 August 2022. No editing but opened and saved in Paint to get rid of the rotation flag because TMO displayed it sideways otherwise.

Attachment 41642

Its hard to say if its a female body without having a male to compare :D
Females are usually longer and can exceed 70cm while males stay smaller than that.
From the relatively small fin, i gather its a male when comparing to photos of females.
Anyway, this european eel was still wet. As was the river rhine bank where i saw it washed a shore from a freak-bow-wave caused by a passing container ship.
Saw it from some 50 meters away. When i got there, the scene had mostly dried up from the glaring sun and 34°C.
I mean to have seen it twitch while approaching.
But no sign of life anymore when i took my wifes Xperia X for the shot.
Forgot my prawn eggs in the car sadly.
I am most proud about the legal use of portrait orientation :p

Taken on Xperia X 5121, no edits.

I'm late! But here's some "water" I guess http://matland.be/transfer/water.jpg

It's mostly water... Taken on F(x)tec Pro1-X, no editing.

Re: Phone Camera Competition, August 2022: "wet water"
 

@netman Maybe there is too much water in my eyes, but i cant see any picture.

Edit: I found the reason. Your pic is not on a https site.

Re: Phone Camera Competition, August 2022: "wet water"
 

Ok, I don't know if there are still pictures coming in. If so I will add them here.

Here are the candidates for August:
#1 Fellfrosch - Pro1 Stock camera app corrected white balance in darktable

Of course, I wait with my vote and you will fur sure do as well until it is certain that no more entries are submitted.

Re: Phone Camera Competition, August 2022: "wet water"
 

For me its #2 Pentona!
From the photographic quality and composition.
The duck has great photobomb skills. Feels like the picture is all about that duck saying "Look, its all my property" <3

Re: Phone Camera Competition, August 2022: "wet water"
 

#1 Fellfrosch
It's very artistic... and mystic. Can you see the almost extraterrestrial face in the water, or is it just me taking a grog to much? :rolleyes:

Re: Phone Camera Competition, August 2022: "wet water"
 

I should vote for netman, because there is beer and a Pro1 on the pic...:D

If mosen would have not only shown the raw material, but what he made from it with his sushi magic. My vote would maybe be with him.

But the best photo is Pentona`s entry and so I have no choice:
Pentona

Re: Phone Camera Competition, August 2022: "wet water"
 

#2, I like shots taken in the afternoon.

Re: Phone Camera Competition, August 2022: "wet water"
 

I vote #1 Fellfrosch

Re: Phone Camera Competition, August 2022: "wet water"
 

I'm voting #4 mosen, i like the audaciousness of not even including liquid water while it's got to be mere inches away.

Re: Phone Camera Competition, August 2022: "wet water"
 

Ok, voting period is over.
I summarize:

Netman is the winner, because there is beer and a Pro1 on his entry.
Unfortunately, he just wins the special evaluation for shooting desirable items.

The win in the main category goes to Pentona. Well deserved for a beautiful photo. And thinking further on: A roasted duck is as well desirable, as well as a bath in the Baltic Sea (?) with these temperatures around. :D

Counted votes:
Pentona 3
Fellfrosch 2
mosen 1

Congrats to Pentona. You have the honour to start the September competition with a theme of your choice.

Re: Phone Camera Competition, August 2022: "wet water"
 

Right, the end of the story is missing.
Considering it was either dead, which makes it questionable how long it was dead or from what.
The twitches might have been a misconception.
Or it was barely alive with a sun stroke. I had to put it back into the rhine :cool:

First case, its food for tasty river crabs.
But maybe it even recovered and is still swimming now.
