On our final dog walk yesterday, I watched the moon come out from behind the clouds. I took two pictures with my cell phone, steadying it on a mailbox while holding Charlie's leash in the other hand. Realizing it was too dark, I tried to change the mode, but Charlie was out of patience and pulled me along. I'm afraid I left a footprint in the mud next to the curb.

Last Night’s Moon
Both pictures came out pixelated. Still, I like the mysterious look of the sky.
I made an attempt at improving the second shot using a filter, but it wasn’t a success. Then I noticed that my app was trying to identify a “bird.” Oh, good grief! That’s the moon, Siri, not a snowy owl!

ReplyDeleteMysterious.
ReplyDeleteGood job just catching the moon with mailbox prop...I tried getting my zoom on my old camera to work, and I think it's past help, just sits there with me pressing the button and does nothing. Won't even take a photo with the shutter button half the time. Back to the iPhone camera, where my moon shots are all over the place!
ReplyDeleteI like those pictures, even if they have technical issues. Moody, mysterious, and the app ID's are a riot. Alana ramblinwitham.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteDear Linda, the resemblance to a snowy owl is truly astonishing 😂 Siri always surprises us with her "knowledge" 🤣...
ReplyDeleteDespite the pixelation, I also find your photos beautifully mysterious...
All the best from Austria, Traude
