On the northern hemisphere it's dark outside and many people are stressing about Christmas stuff. Where's the joy in that? Or where's the joy in everything? It could be joy in your life or someone else's. Picture could be taken of a dog who brings joy to your life or something that brings joy to that dog. Lots of things can be photographed.

Same rules (copy-pasta from before):

Photos must be taken during this month (after theme is announced?)
Photos must be taken by the posting member
Photos must be taken with a camera phone
Users post only one photo per entry
Users can change the entry only once
Users must name the phone they used (software would be nice too?)

Last three days of this month are for voting. Have fun and enjoy.

Nice Theme. I am in again.

so sorry for not being able to participate in any way for November, workload was just to tense last month :/
I did not even manage to send out robthebolds reward. pitty pitty me. Done now finally and congratulatins again, also to shanttu!
My vote would have gone to you also, incredible shot.

So there is still one "clip one lense set" laying around here, which i would love to give away as prize for December.

Hopefully we will have many "joyfull" participants!

I always look at these threads and think: I should try this. So my old years resolution will be to enter a picture this month. No really good camera phones in house though.... My Jolla is dead, Jolla tablet is not a phone so will end up using the android one device that I use as my daily.

Happy shooting everyone.

Fun! Here comes my picture. Drinking coffee in the smooth light from the christmas star brings me peace and joy.

Taken with stock camera in N9.

Cheers!

EDIT: How can I change the pic to be vertical?

First, thanks for participating!

IIRC, tmo doesn't respect jpg rotation tags. You could try using another image host like imgur, flickr, etc. and post the link, or perhaps you could do a 'lossy' rotation with another image processing s/w.

For now, I'll just turn my monitor on its side

Went for a walk tonight and saw this. Not really an entry but thought I'd share. May all find Joy this holiday season.

Hi @brikmange. How's this

using convert on my linux box

convert -rotate 90 birk.jpg birk1.jpg

Is it too late? It's been a while since I entered one of these (my last one was one of the very first times this competition was held ) So here's my entry:



Not related to christmas but the beach will always bring me joy <3
Taken with my OnePlus X, no edits. Cheers.

I get a cold if i only see finnish joy.

Your entry makes up a very strange athmosphere which i really like. Some mixture of warm colors and cold topic. Very good effort.

Ok, finally I have something. I really try to participate every month on ANY subject, but it's not easy. Thank you for the competition.


A police station in Ribeirao Preto, Brazil. I was absolutely paralyzed when I saw those swings in front of the station.

Unfortunately and to my shame this was taken with an Alcatel 3XShitforMoney LoserV2. But I don't have time to go back there with my N9.
