A cup/mug of coffee (or tea or hot chocolate or hot water or hot milk...) with a confusing custom palette.

A mug of tea or coffee, handle pointing away from the camera.

A short candle that has been recently extinguished?

A bowl of soup.

... With a swirl of cream.

Either that or something freshly stirred.

It's a class of tea with a spoon. I guess that pallette is really useless here and it's locked to yo fade out the surrounding.

I like to watch fluid with thermal activity. It's better then tint in water because it never ends.... I wonder how they looks with a 150k research camera with high framerates full HD resolution and high thermal resolution with no noise.

Thanks for these, it's been fun.

A christmas decoration (star made of straws), on a (rather cold) window. Window because of the reflection of Vipitis taking the image.

This concludes this event.

I am not really happy with how it turned out. I took more then 300 images in the last two weeks and had my camera always with me.

I planned to do more then I did in the end, but I suffered some issues with my device to transfer files from my phone to my computer for post processing an effects.

It feels like some images were far to easy while others where to hard. It's difficult to find the balance of a nice riddle which one can solve in 24hours or a group can working together.

Some things I planned included: custom pallette, rotating/flipping images, inverting palettes, limiting the Platte range, using different pallette scaling options. Videos, pip, overlays, confusing msx, stacking, stiching, photogrammetry and more. I didn't find the time due to common school and Christmas stress. If I redo this for next year I plan to prepare images and not shoot them on the day before and take them straight outta camera or just minor effects with mobile apps.

The target should be thermal phenomena like Amorphophallus titanum or lightning, clouds, meteors and not objects shot in thermal to look good.

I sadly failed to make a nice pallette that looks like the visual equivalent with red and white.... But here is me with my Santa hat wishing all of you a merry Christmas!

And thanks to everyone for participating.
