Camera phone competition January 2014 "Water"
 

Hello! A new theme, finally.

Water. Ranging from ice to clouds.
Here's what briest has to say about this subject: "Water? In all forms and shapes, from snow, icicles and igloos thru rivers and seas up to rain, blizzards, clouds, and steaming locomotives."

So you should start planning what to shoot, gonna be a long winter.
For me, it is sunny here in Croatia. I don't know when it will snow. :)

Rules!
Photos must be taken during this month.
Photos must be taken by the posting member.
Photos must be taken with a camera phone.
Users can change the entry only once.
Users must add a link to the original photo with EXIF.
(If possible, name the phone)
Last three days of this month are for voting, as always.

Have fun in the snow, or perhaps rain. And I strongly advise you don't have fun in the clouds. You will ether be falling or stuck in the Cloud storage... :)

Out of competition, but I am positively amazed by the photo quality of the Jolla. The depth of field is what I like about it.

Now I could argue that the Auricularia auricula-judae largely consists of water, but I won't. I will just share the photo. Hold your monitor sideways for the sake of it. No clue how to rotate it.

This is a pic that took on my christmas holiday to Istanbul. It's from a ferry ride from the European part of Istanbul to the Asian side. Water in picture is the Bosphorus strait separating Europe from Asia. Land on the horozon is Asia. Taken with my Jolla.

Personally i'm dissapointed with Jolla pic quality, but anyway you should be able to rotate the picture on the phone:
1. Open the pic in Gallery app.
2. Click on pic.
3. Menus shows up.
4. Drag down to show options.
5. Choose edit.
6. Choose rotate.

Note that my phone is set on finnish language option and above I'm using most likely english translations for those functions.

Geat shots both of you! The horizon seems a little crooked Rauha.
Briest will be happy with this because it has a fliying seagull in it. (only he and me know what I'm talking about :) )
rob_kouw the photo looks OK like this actually.

Re: Camera phone competition January 2014 "Water"
 

Today it's rainy day...rare occasion..i took a pic...original uploaded

Taken with Nokia N9.

Re: Camera phone competition January 2014 "Water"
 

What a good start for this year! :)
Today it is quite rainy and dull.
I will be working the whole day on my PC.
(P.S I'm learning about web design and graphic design)

Re: Camera phone competition January 2014 "Water"
 

i am not sure if my pic a valid choice for this competition...if rain persists i will try to take another shot..

Re: Camera phone competition January 2014 "Water"
 

On the phone the rotation is no problem, it's fine like it is. Somehow it uploaded on TMO like this.
Photo quality: must say I mostly like the pictures at close range from the Jolla. The camera app is by far not versatile enough for normal work.

mmm.. Camaro

Re: Camera phone competition January 2014 "Water"
 

I had the same problem with my December submission. It looked fine on the phone, but rotated upon uploading to TMO.I tried rotating on the phone and uplloading again, the same result. I assume the phone obeys some EXIF metadata telling it what the orientation is but TMO doesn't.

Re: Camera phone competition January 2014 "Water"
 

Dave, great shot! And nice colors and composition. Rule of thirds ;)
Where was that shot taken? Beautiful view BTW.

Re: Camera phone competition January 2014 "Water"
 

OK, sorry.
Could you PM me and tell me which country? :)

Re: Camera phone competition January 2014 "Water"
 

Here is my entry. Not as dramatic as some of the others, despite the UK having been under 2 ft of water last week - but by the time I managed to do some "flood tourism", most of it had gone. Still, this picture contains water in all three states (if you count the heavily overcast sky at the background).

Taken on 2014-01-12 with Nokia N900, camera-ui2, standard auto settings, no flash.

Re: Camera phone competition January 2014 "Water"
 

Not a bad shot. :)
I don't really have any ideas for this month but I will come up with something!

Re: Camera phone competition January 2014 "Water"
 

1.1.2014, sunny 1st day of new year. Taken with N9, no resize.

And 2 other images from same day:

I also find close-up images from Jolla to be exceptionally good. "Normal" images have a lot of noise.

Re: Camera phone competition January 2014 "Water"
 

great thought ...:)

Re: Camera phone competition January 2014 "Water"
 

Went skating today on a nearby lake. There is an iceway cleared up for skaters, and next to it tracks for skiing.

Re: Camera phone competition January 2014 "Water"
 

Really liking your pic Juiceme.

Also kicking my own head for wasting my entry on liquid H20 when I got just tons of solid H2O in my vicinity.

Re: Camera phone competition January 2014 "Water"
 

You can change your entry any time Rauha but only for once. Remember, you have only two more days, last three days are for voting!
I will go out today probably and get a shot of the snow (I actually already got a few shots but I need more!)

Re: Camera phone competition January 2014 "Water"
 

Here is my entry. Taken today but not with my N900, with a Huawei Y300. Good cam for a cheap phone, besides, I mostly use it for snapping because it was a gift. Still use my N900 alot! :)
Pic taken on my back door-step. :cool:

D*mn. There was no single shot all month I'd like to share. At least, there is some ice on the photo...

Re: Camera phone competition January 2014 "Water"
 

I was about to vote for justadude new entry but then i read it was not included in the competition.Sunset and ocean waves looks beautiful.
Difficult to vote for a single one this time as each photo its great in itself but i would go for #7 for briest capturing water other than ground surface.something unique. IMHO.

Re: Camera phone competition January 2014 "Water"
 

I vote for #7

Re: Camera phone competition January 2014 "Water"
 

#6 Half-Life_4_Life

Re: Camera phone competition January 2014 "Water"
 

#6 Half-Life_4_Life

Good shot justadude, but I understand why you were not accepted. I too was too late......

PS , to elaborate on my choice: lighting quite lovely in #6, even with the powerlines (my pet hate as they get in shots all over the world).

Re: Camera phone competition January 2014 "Water"
 

#7 please...

Re: Camera phone competition January 2014 "Water"
 

#4, the boat is a nice catch....
