Phone Camera Competition July/August 2021: "Hot"
 

The topic is almost too obvious for this time of year (northern hemisphere; but I'm sure down-under people can make something out of it as well).
But let's see how you manage to visualise it.

Oops, sorry, mindless copypaste - now fixed.

Well...
The sun is the hottest thing I can imagine...haem
and...
Isn't it really hot to dare posting a sunset picture on a forum :D?
Boah... tonight I saw the sun, I thought of TMO... perhaps the orange color :)

Taken with N900 CSSU cam app, in RAW mode (iunrc: SHIFT-r).
-So, no maemo software correction on the image given by the cam (see the color vignette + green). Camera far from being perfect (but not dogsh1t ;)).
-Tried to keep it as RAW as possible colorwise.
-Then, almost done nothing in Darktable to compensate bayer/matrix effect, very few white balance.
-Pulled a bit the mid tones with the curve.
-Added grain
-No cropping
-Darkened the dark blues to get real black.

Actually the opposite. The plan for this month was to get some pics from the Dead Sea, but got good deal for mint BRZ, and now stuck with all the hassle of new car - registration, insurance, selling the old one, etc..

I vote extend to next month.
We had the worst flood since ages instead of any day above 25°C :(
The pool i set up 1st of June has seen more chlorine tablets then swimmers as of yet :D

I'd second the extension for another month.

Here in the middle of the US, our unusual weather has been . . . nothing extreme. No torrential storms, rather little super-hot weather, I'm watering my lawn for only the second time this year today. Not a complaint, just wondering what we're being set up for . . .

+1 to extend for another month
