| ©2018 Barry Smith - Tuesday's morning moon - appears to be hanging in a lead grey sky (about 6.15 am) |
At times I find the camera (Canon Powershot) can just decides to do its own thing when on auto focus mode. As I zoom in I find the lens can pick up different aspects of the image and so if one takes the photo at that split second one ends up with some unusual shots.
A few different images follow with a bit of info in the captions.

| ©2018 Barry Smith - The same moon as above but with the focus actually on the moon - interesting that it shows up as rusty whereas the one above shows no detail as the focus of the camera flares out |
 |
| ©2018 Barry Smith - The camera picks up the morning foreground and reflected light ion the clods - leaves the moon as a silver-gold disk |
 |
| ©2018 Barry Smith - Focus is on the setting moon so the foreground is a dark |
 |
| ©2018 Barry Smith - Virtually the same photos as below but the camera again picks up the foreground and its soft dawn light |
