What can be more hot than Summer. It can mean a lot for different people. To me, it brings into mind fun under the Sun, going to the beach, having a great time at the pool, discovering the outdoors, vacations with family and finding yourself. It also means feeling hot from the scorching Summer heat , more time to enjoy daylight and higher energy bills from the almost constant use of the air conditioner. Those bills are too hot it burns your pocket.
For the past 2 days, me and my son were trying to cool down some of those hotness at the pool and my iPhone‘s camera captured images which I thought were hot. Hope you like them. Have a great Summer!
The exhilirating water slide.

I can sense the sultry and the cool in these photos. I love the third photograph-the orange slide, the orange and green ‘flying saucers’, such great colors. Something feels ominous. Empty life guard chair, too. Nice photographs, and from an iPhone!

Thanks for the visit. I was amazed of the effects too. I was just clicking the camera on I thought were nice subjects but the Sun was so bright and hot that when I stare at the screen my vision turns kind of dark and blurry. I’m glad my son kept telling me, ” take pictures, take pictures, dad!”

I used to go to a swimming pool, but I would rather have fun swimming against the waves at the beach. It’s just better that way. My siblings don’t even like going to the pool. The water is just chlorine water, and there’s nothing really great about that.
My pictures would never look as good as that. I would have to use a regular cell phone. What’s the resolution of your camera? Your pictures are between 900*607 and 900*406 pixels and I just wonder if you just zoomed it in to make them that way? My cell phone can capture images in 1080 pixels when I zoom it out, I think.
