No. It comes when you make the image darker and add contrast as well. The feature of the lens usually not seen.

So that's what it is! For a moment I thought it was meant to tow mother earth to a better place. :rolleyes:

Indeed. How on earth (no pun intended) can I compete with THAT???

I'll just do the obligatory view from my office window. Taken yesterday, 13th February, around 16:00. I was going home and noticed it was raining and sunny at the same time, so my immediate reaction was, "Rainbow! TMO photo competition!" I ran back upstairs to take this picture:

Pity I could not fit the whole rainbow in a single shot. I had considered merging the two shots into a panorama but then I noticed a smudge in the corner caused by a droplet so I decided to leave it be. Here is the second shot just for reference:

The shadow of the building is seen in both shots but what can I do :o

EDIT: Both pictures taken with Jolla 1.

The ring in my entry is wrist thick, so not just a close up illusion.

Sorry @Maemish! My choice of emoji wasn't really mine (can I blame the cat?) ;) was my real choice.

@ Maemish: Great shot, nice colors!

Actually, this is the "real" rendering of the n900 camera.
I personally end up by liking it a lot.
Then, when the pic is made into the stock app, the vignette is removed and the image is corrected to become "flat" and normalized.

I really would like to build the same correction filter. We could use it into darktable, playing with the amount to apply it more or less. I studied it a bit but it is not so simple. The vignette is affecting not only brightness but also contrast and color balance.

Very nice! A most literal definition of "earth".
