Edit: The last pic of you is horrible.

I know. Had it been for the competition, I would have tried harder. A better camera (this one was taken with a Jolla, which, as we know, is rubbish at low light), more experimentation with the camera position... But as it was too late for the competition, I just took a quick snap to show off the shadow.

Spfoos picture is fixed.

You nearly got me: BEER!
But than I realized. the foam doesn't really looks like beer and the colour is quite bright. That must be something different. Is it a Radler?
Good picture, But the May topic for me is not obvious, even if there is a lot light and shadows.
8/10

You absolutely passed the test :D
I only had 1 0,5L Helles left and mixed it with homemade lemonade to stretch it over the evening.
How could i try fool you...?!?

Now that we have Radler in game let me explain for the others. A common urban legend is the term Radler being formed in 1922 when Xaver Kugler at his tourist attracting Kugler Alm was faced with an enormous amount of guests and feared to run out of beer. He is said to have come up to advertise the lemonade mix as Radler. (meaning cyclist/biker, as most of the guest came by bike). Considering Alms where not supplied daily but week or even monthly back then, it makes kind of sense that this was not a days event but went over for some time thus the term had a chance to spread.

My vote goes to #5 Pentona.
I really like the sun flare not killing the nicely crisp details. This shot was really hard for the camera and the photographer imo.
Praising the XA2 a bit more, since i got it i finally put the Nokia N8 to rest.

Frankly, i garnished my half knowledge about the Kugler Alm story with the 1922 detail from wikipedia and learned myself it is called shandy when mixed with ginger ale in english :D

When I discovered Bintang Radler in Bali I tried to explain the meaning of it to our driver and why a drink is called like this. I'm not sure he got my story...

Anyway, my vote goes to

#2 DDArk

BTW: my pic was shot with Xperia X not n900

Re: Camera phone competition May 2019: Lighting

Pentona. Beautiful shot.

Re: Camera phone competition May 2019: Lighting

This is so hard. To make one choice of so many great pics. But 2 of them made me thirsty so I'll give the power to my Pavlovian nature : #8 Fellfrosch

Your pic looks on the first glimpse like a copy of catbus' pic. But yours is real art.
BUT: This is not R2D2 :p

It's a R2D2-styled wall lamp which has 2 leds. One points up and the other forward. It doesn't stand on it's own so I'm supporting it with my hand and tilting it to get the front light beam on the soldier. I used a flashlight to give more light on the front of the R2D2 lamp. My other hand holds the N9 to take the shot.

I did some earlier trys a couple of days ago and gave up because it seemed absolutely impossible to get a good shot and light up both objects somehow with a similar ambiance. Just before the submission time ended I thought let's try this one last time. The one I submitted is "the one last time".

Re: Camera phone competition May 2019: Lighting

My vote goes for #3 fooxl
