One of the things I love about squares is that not every photograph needs be a masterpiece. This challenge is about being kind and having fun with squares. It also means I can display those photographs I can’t quite convince myself to delete, but would otherwise not get a show. Such as this one I took in September of Mars and the moon early one morning.
It kinda doesn’t really work! However I’ve always been one for the expression ‘If at first you don’t succeed try, try again‘. So try again I did in early October.
I was feeling quite proud of myself until I realised looking at Margaret’s post that this shot was in fact of Venus not Mars! I’d done that human thing of forgetting that both we and the planets are all moving. I really must remember to use the fabulous website Time and Date for determining the Night Sky. Still, I still love it as a shot and best of all that moment of realisation made me giggle to myself. It also enables me to add on the W C Field’s addition to those words of wisdom ‘If at first you don’t succeed try, try again‘.
Then quit. No use being a fool about it !

My kind of quote there. I mostly fond the best thing about trying to get night photos is that it takes me outside and I appreciate how beautiful the night sky is. Here’s mine today: https://grahamsisland.com/2020/10/26/kinda-twisted/

In a way, that’s something I try to remember about photography in general. I don’t want to get so caught up in taking a photo that I forget to look around and appreciate what I’m seeing.

Exactly! I watch tourists sometimes with taking videos or constant selfies, and do wonder how much they remember of their visit.

Venus. Mars. I would never have known the difference either – still beautiful shots. And I love your last quote! That may become my new motto for these days. 🙂
