Phone Camera Competition July 2020: "See through"
 

Thank you for voting for my photo in the June 2020 competition. I feel honoured!

My first idea for the new theme was "Water". But, as it turns out, we had that theme in January 2014. I briefly considered "Booze", but that would be a) blowing my own trumpet and b) too obvious. It can be a theme for some other time.

Then I had a brain wave. What is the most obvious property of both water and the containers water is usually stored in? That's right, transparency!

Anything transparent or see-through will do. Any liquid, solid or gas.
A bottle of gin. A net curtain. Even your significant other's sexy nightie ;)

Have fun snapping!

Rules are as usual:

• Photos must be taken during this month, between the theme being announced and the voting starting;
• Photos must be taken by the posting member;
• Photos must be taken with a phone camera;
• Post-processing is allowed but you have to say what you did;
• Users must name the phone and software they used;
• Users post only one photo per entry;
• Users can change the entry only once;
• The last 3 days of the month are reserved for voting.

Neither of those images are entries because one is from June, and the other is too ugly.
But both fit the topic perfectly!

Both taken with Xperia XA2, SailfishOS stock camera app. One is cropped, no other post-processing.

More "see through" pics; I have yet to decide which will become my entry for this month ;)

I like the third one. Hands down.

Here is another example. NOT my entry due to the lack of sharpness, but it contains not one, but TWO examples of transparency: the beer glass and the window behind:

Incidentally, the little girl inside comes from this family. She strayed from her sisters and found her way inside our house. The picture was taken just before reuniting her with her family.

The swarm had taken up residence in our plum tree. I called a bee keeper I know to come and collect them:

Here in Finland, and especially in southern Ostrobothnia ... If something is not available then we do it ourselves - like a rainbow or a double? :p
