Do we need to provide EXIF metadata, or how will you verify that the photo was taken with a smartphone's sensor?

CMDR Henckes 9/6/2024, 3:29:57 PM

I don't think it is mandatory, but you can share yours in your submission

I've taken thousands of photographs of Iceland over the past decade and it is very challenging to pick a favorite, but I think this specific photo of Jökulsárlón might be my favorite. It was taken back in 2017 with my Apple iPhone 6 plus and is three photos taken from the same spot and then combined in photoshop to create the landscape.

CMDR Henckes 9/6/2024, 2:54:58 PM

Great photo!! I wish some day I'll be able to visit Iceland. This country has amazing landscapes

Because I live in a tropical, coastal city, my love of the sea is immense and I have the pleasure of being able to see this view every day. In this photo I made a point of showing how colorful the sky and the sea can be during a sunset (and notice the moon up there, I think it gives a different charm to the view). I hope you like it!

Last year, I took over a vineyard that had sadly been neglected for nearly 10 years, growing wild and uncontrolled. This spring, I gave it a heavy trim to help it develop the proper canes (or shoots, as they're called on vines).

With about 85% of its greenery gone, the massive roots responded by producing enormous leaves. To give you an idea, they're about the size of my hand, which isn’t small—10 inches across.

Humans and grapes have had a long, intertwined history, and any vineyard requires careful upkeep.

On a side note, since no one in my family drinks alcohol, we use the grapes to make compotes and juices, which the kids absolutely love.

One of my state's main claims to fame, the Mackinac Bridge (Pronounced Mackinaw, by the way). Connecting the Lower and Upper Peninsulas, spanning the Straits of Mackinac between Lake Michigan and Lake Huron.

Now that the geography lesson's out of the way, this is one of the few pictures from last summer when a friend that moved out west came back to spend a week chilling with the rest of the gang in person rather than just on voice chat. He brought his fiance who'd never been to Michigan, so we had to make sure to show her the sights. The bridge itself is damn pretty imo and it's a cool bit of engineering.

But man do I not enjoy having to drive over it.

This was a tough choice because I have a lot of great photos on my phone. This one is not the best looking one I have, but it's one of my favorites. I have a Galaxy note 8 so it's kinda old, but it takes surprisingly good photos at times.

For a moment, it was fun, but then I really got scared. This fog completely covered everything up to the treetops, and it was so sudden. It crawled out of the forest in like two or three minutes. I watched as it consumed buildings, cars, trees, abd people...
