Night one of vacation. Nothing like a beach sunset. I’ve arrived at my happy place.

Yet another attempt at a night sky picture using an iPhone. The clouds in front of the moon last night were to cool not to try again. -
Still trying to improve my night photography using an iPhone. Feels like it’s still eluding me. It might be the kind of thing that an iPhone is simply never good at. They always come out too grainy. Oh well.Shot with ProCam.

I still really struggle with night photography on the iPhone. Then again, in fairness, the iPhone doesn’t have the full range of capabilities that a SLR camera has (the iPhone has a fixed aperture, which can’t be changed no matter what app you use) and I’m always trying to take picture of the moon (a really difficult subject).I snapped this one using night mode on ProCam. The thing I like most is that it captured the beauty of the clouds and trees in the moonlight. And Venus. I think that smaller dot is Venus.
The thing I don’t like is that there was just no way to tone down how bright the moon was in the shot. It totally overpowered the rest of the sky.
I’ll keep trying, but for now, this is what I got.

This was the night of the snow storm, after it had all ended. We have some amazingly tall trees in our condo complex, and as I was standing at the top of our driveway, the lights from the next sets of buildings over, framed by the trees heavy with snow, struck me as a great picture. The sun had set and the last of the light in the west was making the evening sky a deep blue.I wish is was better at capturing night photos with my iPhone. It’s something that I’m still learning how do, and the results tend to be hit or miss. But, despite being on the grainy side, I really like how this one turned out.

Today’s photo was a tough choice. I had another picture I took this morning that I wanted to post, but, in honor of the first real snowfall in the Northeast tonight, I though this one would be a better fit. It’s kind of a blurry mess, as night photography with an iPhone is a skill I have yet to master, but whatever. I like it. So there.Taken with PureShot, cropped in Snapseed, converted to black and white with Black Cam.

I met up with a couple of writer friends last night so that we could go over our works in progress. It was a strange misty foggy night. The weather is changing, going from chilly and overcast yesterday to warm and rainy today. As the warm air came in, the fog came with it. Heading to my car, I was struck by the way the woods behind the pub looked in the fog with the sodium lights of the parking lot hitting it.The end result is above. Photo taken with PureShot, lightened with Sanpseed, and a layer of stacked filters applied from Formulas.
