Turnbuckle on the HMCS Haida


Yesterday some of the members of my iPhone photography group went on a photo outing to the HMCS Haida ship in Hamilton, Ontario.  It was my first visit to the ship and I was astounded by the photo opportunities around every nook and cranny. In addition to photos of the ship, its guns, the crew quarters and the engine room, there will little gems like this turnbuckle.  The original photo has been edited in DistressedFX and Snapseed to give this result.  After I sort through the rest of the photos from yesterday I'll add more shots from around and onboard the Haida.

These shots are from last night's Sturgeon Moon.  I had the iPhone 11 Pro Max connected to my spotting scope and waited for moonrise.  Watching the moon come up over the hill, I thought there was a tall tree interfering with my shot.  A closer look through the spotting scope showed that it was a wifi tower and the photo turned out quite nicely with the tower in front.  Luminar was used to adjust the clarity and lighting.

Splash!
