Germans have been known to invent strange little contraptions of which nobody remembers their names and are just called thingies or Dingsbums, so Hans-Joachim Dingsbums might be an option as the originator.

PS: Except for HaJo Dingsbums all names come from Good Omens by Pratchett and Gaiman.

Original – a rather hazy view of a stretch of the Akamas coast, the peninsula on the northwestern end of Cyprus.
Heightened contrast. I darkened the photo and upped the contrast.
Stark black & white. Monochrome with a stark contrast.
Colour intensifyer. The water turned gold instead of silver.
