the #photofails / #FridayFotoFails is happening?

Here is a fun one.

so... LG's camera app reverts to autofocus when the phone locks up. and the phone does lock up, as northern lights photography is pretty much long waits in cold followed by quickly composing and taking a lot of shots... repeat.

Anyhow, quirky UX decision + distracted photographer =

Best out of focus shot, ever. (at least it sort of works in thumbnail size? :D)

Photo processed in darktable for denoising and being visible.

@eylul

There's more mystery implied by this photo than if it were simply crisp.

Good mood.

@Algot Thank you!!! (I actually do have several bokeh stars night photographs and love some of them.. this one through... I don't know I don't not like it, but at same time there is sadness at missed opportunity)
