Phone Camera Competition June 2022: "Leaves"
 

Looking outside the window, it's definitely summer but also cold, windy and rainy. Conflicting.

Back in the day, Nokia invented a new definition of "leave" (plural: "leaves"). A custom made, Symbian only, exception handling. An absolutely appaling stuff. Symbian deserved to die just for that.

Here is my entry. Taken on Tuesday 14 June 2022 with a Jolla.

I find these bushes fascinating. Normal green bushes, with all fresh leaves bright, fiery red. No one in my family shares or even understands my fascination but I don't care. I love them.

First, a leaf detail (my entry):

And a picture of the whole bush for context:

Attachment 41598

Note:
I know the pictures are mangled on the page. That does not matter, the important bits are clearly visible. Linking to them in the summary post will straighten it up.

Pro1 stock camera app, corrected whitebalance with darktable.

pichlo, the detailed leaf is very nice. You should make that your entry.
Fellfrosch, for some reason your pic looks very sharp even though it's slightly shaky. I like it.

See how the seeds are leaving the trees?

Both XA2, minimal post processing with GIMP.

I had to switch away from Advanced Camera to stock Camera, so I don't remember which picture I took with which camera app.
Did anybody experience high CPU usage with Advanced Camera? If I forgot to close it after use my battery would be drained within hours.

I might change things around a bit or even add another pic to use as my entry, but I might also flee the country in about a week (first holiday since 'rona).

Summertime!

well, we're not getting any younger, are we? :o:p

Unfortunately I sometimes have the same behaviour with advanced camera. Not every time I use it, but still... That's why I use stock camera app at the moment much more than advanced camera.

At last here again. Was walking with the dog and saw these leaves. So dark green leaves yet when the light hit from behind they looked amazing. Like x-rayed.

Moto G8, Lineage Os 18.1, Gcam. Just resized the photo to get it downloaded.

Sorry but forgot how to post/link the image correctly.

Re: Phone Camera Competition June 2022: "Leaves"
 

I can see it.

Re: Phone Camera Competition June 2022: "Leaves"
 

I still can, can't I? I am allowed one change :D

I'll think about it...

Re: Phone Camera Competition June 2022: "Leaves"
 

^ The sun glinting around the edges of the leaf is amazing, as well as the see-through network.

The Jolla phone must have a pretty good camera.

Isn't it time to start voting?

Due to popular request (i.e one person suggesting it and no one objecting), I have changed my entry from the whole bush to a single leaf. The original post has been edited accordingly and here is the picture again:

Sorry, we are in a panic mode at work and I do not have the time to compile a post with all the pics for voting as is usually the norm :(

What, no more votes? Could it be? Am I winning again? :eek:

Don't worry, folks. I have a topic chosen already :D

But seriously, guys, please keep the votes coming. The last 12 hours countdown starts... NOW!

Ladies and gentlemen, voting is now closed. I stretched it for a bit longer than the 12 hours I threatened with, so I hope no one will accuse me of rigging the votes ;)

OMG, totally out I am.
Sorry for this lightness.
I had a lot of serious work these times; (aka SFOS took my whole phone/computer dedicated time) :D
