Photo of the day- March 2023

[bondr006]

How'd you get the moon so dark with an 13PM? Every time I try to photo the moon with mine, even with nightmode off, and the exposure slider all the way down, the moon still is so bright all detail is hugely blown out.

I use the ProCamera app. Gives you a lot more latitude than the built-in camera app if you want more manual control. I love it!

Halide Mark ll is also a good pro manual camera app.

Of course, it also depends on the time of day and how much ambient light there is when shooting the moon.

I agree that the right glass for a specific drink makes it more special. I cannot drink a glass of wine if served in a paper cup and of course a real Margarita needs a salted rim , I’m with you 100%
A fake beads Martini could be served in any glass for photographic purposes 😎, the only exception.

Interesting you see it blue and not green . It’s a sRGB photo converted from Adobe RGB , what I usually use for all my photos.
Is everyone seeing it blue?

Bondr006 hit on the right description: "aqua blue" -- definitely blue, with a hint of green. Not as green as some shades of teal, but not as blue as, say, cobalt blue or pure blue. Since my iPad was sitting nearby, too, just to check and compare against the computer and monitor screens, I pulled the image up on it as well and again the color was aqua blue....

Is your monitor calibrated? Also, more recent computers and monitors seem to have a wider gamut of colors, too, which might not be apparent in an older monitor or computer.

Yes it is, iMac, I'm not 😅

Teal is more appropriate at this point and I guess it depends more from a personal view
For me teal is more green than blue. Asked 3 people and I had 1 green and 1 blue and one undecided LOL
The beads are green and in the water and bubbles become teal probably
Seen from the top

And I guess we can move on to more urgent issues 🙃

I actually have both of those... will try using them instead the next time the moon is being boastful!

Sailboat in San Francisco Bay w Alcatraz, 2010

View attachment 2180648

Years ago my younger son rented a sail boat and took us on a trip around Alcatraz. Although the water looks fairly calm in this photo, I can guarantee you it is not. I was amazed at the turbulence caused by the incoming tide and the outflow from the Sacramento and San Joaquin Rivers. The water looked like it was boiling and very loud. Although it looked and sounded scary, we sailed across it without a problem.

Ahhh! the first robin of spring. Better known around here as the harbinger of yet another big blizzard.

It’s overlap season, the robins arrive and the juncos haven’t left yet. Maybe that is the key to spring.

Daffodils seem to grow wild in the mid-west (at least in Arkansas and Missouri). But they're bulbs, so not sure how that could be.

Like any other plant, they spread by seed!

You mean to tell me squirrels might actually do something useful in my backyard?

🕓 Around 4:00 AM, Today, I woke up with a horrified dream...
I was anxious, terrified, and left completely lost for words
I remember, It was a normal day and I was serving food to my family
While dreaming, Suddenly, I heard the 📣 loudest train horn ever in my life
It instantly caught my attention and I rushed, grabbed my phone, and stormed outside
I saw the big train engine passing by in slow-motion first, I also heard a train sound going back to back 💥
Suddenly, I caught myself running and trying to catch up to the train, trying to chase this lost train
It instantly dawned on me I couldn't keep up with the train anymore
I saw it passing by and I was left behind in the dust ❌, I was tired, exhausted, and disappointed... 😔
After it was all over, I remember waking up subconsciously, terrified, and completely in total shock.

⌛️💭 Was I Racing Against The Precious Pastime That No Longer Exists In This Real World? 🏃🏼‍♀️💨
