Mfw I’ve been standing outside with a tripod for 6 hours trying to get an exposure shot and the wind blows my camera over

[–] eezeebee@lemmy.ca 11 points 2 years ago

6 hours is too long, the moon will have moved by then

[–] Empricorn@feddit.nl 3 points 2 years ago

So... now you have a picture of the wind! I think, I don't understand how cameras work.

That physically hurt to read.

Except when you take that photo with a Samsung. Then the picture of the moon is always perfect.

[–] Sotuanduso@lemm.ee 18 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Even if you take a picture of a blurry picture of the moon... curious.

Even if you take a picture of a white circle on a black background whilst half a mile underground.

[–] MaxHardwood@lemmy.ca 7 points 2 years ago

Because the moon is perfect; just like you

This effect is real. I had a friend in college who was so attractive that she could barely go anywhere without strangers trying to talk to her. Boys made embarrassing confessions. Old people felt inexplicably compelled to tell her their life stories. It was actually baffling.

In photos she was only beautiful in a normal, mortal way, not mesmerizing. She had an effect in person that could not be captured, at least not with our old phone cameras.

Have you considered she was actually magic? /s

Congratulations internet, you finally figured out I'm a dog.

[–] ElBarto@sh.itjust.works 11 points 2 years ago

If my dogs could talk, my self esteem would be through the roof.

If it’s the Quantum moon, that’s how you keep it in place.

I know I am ugly because cameras may lie but mirrors don’t.

You've never been to a fun house hall of mirrors?
