Most farms just have a dog as a trespass deterrent.

For many village pubs lockdown really did end in tiers, this on never recovered.

Q. What happens when you put a a new smartphone in the hands of lycanthrope…

A. He tries to break it of course. I have used this example to specifically show the current limitations of technology and AI. The image below was taken by moonlight at 3.00AM on an iPhone 12 flagship. Look at what the AI has done to the areas it can not decipher – mush. Think I’ll call it the ‘mush filter’.

It’s a full moon, 2.30AM, I can’t sleep, restlessness, night sweats, hairy palms, jeez my toe nails… time for a walk. There are no street lights around here so it’s perfect for lockdown loonies.

Technical note: I had to photoshop all of these as the iPhone renders all images as daylight so, remove yellow, add blue, balance luminance, ignore AI, voila.

Starting to get the hang of this iPhone photography stuff now…

A few casual pic’s from the iPhone – not much good for open landscapes when you blow them up but quite pleased in general, especially hand-held in low light.

 iOS has updated and the iPhone 12 Pro Max now saves to RAW files in Adobe DNG format – woohooo! But, massive file sizes, way bigger than Nikon and it shows why Apple insist on processing the images in camera for HEIF and JPG. The RAW file shows that phone camera lenses really are rubbish. However, I don’t mind either of these as at least it puts the processing in my hands rather than some jumped up dumb algorithm.
