Twenty- five Seven

Personally speaking

A smiley face in the #Mumbai night sky

It was the end of the week and I was looking forward to the weekend after a bit of a hectic time with the grandchildren.

R and H were home and we were unwinding with some good 12 year old Yamazaki – a single malt Japanese whiskey that I was having for the very first time. We also had a good meal ordered in from Royal China waiting for us when I heard the wail of Baby G. I quickly got up before the wails became uncontrollable and was giving her the last feed for the night when I happened to look up . I  saw a young crescent moon surrounded with a cloudy halo which looked like a smiley face in the Mumbai night sky.

I just had to take a photo and as soon as Baby burped, rushed to click my handy iPhone. Sadly when I clicked the snap it was far from the dramatic reality. What looked like a smiley face in the sky turned out to be one big blob!

But not one to give up easily, I took another shot and this time I was more successful. Here’s my smiley face in the Mumbai Night Sky.

But what I really liked was the lights across the bay with the stadium lights ablaze.

But I wonder why my pictures are so grainy? I thought the iPhone 6 camera was the best bet for faultless photos.

  1. I too have grainy night photos but I don’t have an Iphone. Maybe there is a way to take better ones but I haven’t checked into it. Nice try though. I always try to take night shots too ;-) Enjoy your weekend.

  2. I also clicked the crescent moon with my iPhone and yes it was blurry like yours. You still got a better one. My shot ended up in recycle bin!

    1. Oh! I thought I was the only one with blurred photos with an iPhone 6. So I wonder who gets those shots in the ads?

  3. The second shot captures the smiley moon very well! I’ve learnt the hard way that night shots taken from an iPhone6 will always come blurry!

    1. Oh dear. That means I will have to use the regular camera ?
