077-2020 – Magnolia Tree and the Secret of the Universe


Today’s photo of the day, part of “a photo a day challenge 2020”, is a surprise capture which I can’t really explain. It is a photo of a Magnolia tree at night illuminated by the street lights or house’s exterior lights. What I can’t explain are the light patterns over imposed on the image. I never seen anything like this.

This was around a 10 second long exposure from my balcony, using the slow shutter app on my iPhone 11 Pro on a small Manfrotto tripod. These are the settings:

I did take another shot trying to replicate the light pattern and was in every picture.

Secret of the universe

I will call it for now “the secret of the universe” until I figure out what it is. I wonder if is a bug in the software when taking long exposure or I might have captured the fabrics of the universe. If you have any idea what it might be please leave a comment down below.
