Mundane Thread Photographic Edition

[Sporting]

I'm no expert but I do like reading about railways. The most recent one I read was excellent in its wide-ranging historical sweep of all aspects of Britain's railways:

On the way to work this morning:

[Sits]

Strewth. That’s quite something.

[Sits]

That didn't really work. The moon on an iPhone.

The sky was very purple this morning

[Moonlight Shadow]

Phwoar!!!

[Nocturnal Submission]

Uh-huh.

[Lang Spoon]

I'm not sure I want to know the context. It's like the start of an itv "gritty" drama.

[Nocturnal Submission]

My guesses so far are that:

1. There's something unusual in the photo, like a UFO or an albino fox, that I've yet to spot, though there does appear to be a large jellyfish floating in mid-air to the right of the lamp-post;

2. GO has a sideline as a low-rent private detective and the next photo shows the silhouette of a canoodling couple in the nearest bedroom window;

3. He's in trouble and the photo is a clue.

The rendering is quite strange, almost as if it's been put through some sort of deranged posterisation filter. Or it was taken on a phone with an extremely small sensor while running uphill.

I quite like it TBH, has a kind of grimy/painterly feel to it.

[San Bernardhinault]

Surely that's just a cheap phone in the dark creating graininess because its pushing the limits of the sensors?

And I suspect it's GO returning the thread to genuinely mundane photography and away from all you fancy photographers who take shots that are in focus and are nicely composed. But it might be the first photograph of the alien invasion.

Oh, well if we're doing genuinely mundane photos here's a poor picture that I took yesterday with the City looking a bit like a black castle of an evil king.

[Amor de Cosmos]

Surely that's just a cheap phone in the dark creating graininess because its pushing the limits of the sensors?

Could be....Could be. But that's a very unromantic way of looking at it.

[Sits]

I think GO wanted to post something which, like all great art, would promote discussion. Tick.

[Sits]

Some zooming and cropping and it’s even more painting-y:

[Amor de Cosmos]

I've never mentioned this before but back in the day I was First Prize in a Yucatecan beauty contrast:

Trying to persuade my daughter that no, today I didn't want her to stand in front of the tree and strike a pose took some time...

[JVL]

Couple of weekends ago... the phone struggled to fully capture what a lovely winter sunset this was over the harbour.

[Balderdasha]

Took a footpath past an industrial estate with my daughter yesterday and found a hitherto unknown seam of graffiti.
