Geeter - Soft Focus Related to Low Lighting

This image should have been posted Wed., Nov. 9th, 2015.   My neighbor's dog, Geeter.  I am going to say this is a soft focus image, but in reality, it was a low lighting situation.  Taken at dusk.  I have been trying to capture an image of this dog for awhile. The dog had just had a trim, so not much texture to his fur. I just have to keep trying.  I was lucky to get close up as he was in a howling mood about my presence.  It was shot at ISO 100, 1/30th of a sec.  iPhone  6, Camera+,  Edited with PSE 11.

Halloween Visit by an Alien

Last night was Halloween and I tried to take some pictures of halloweeners that came to my door.  I am not good with this iPhone taking pictures in low lighting situation It was not something I could really use a tripod as these "creatures" are all about getting to the next house for more loot.  Aso bad that I cut off his feet and part of his helmet.  Lighting was with my porch light.  Taken with iPhone 5C.   I did send this one on Instagram.  I think I used the Hudson filter. Definitely need more practice.  There is always next year. Just found out about an app that can tell me the metadata in detail on my iPhone or iPad --only 99 cents.  It is a deal for when you are out actually taking the photos to see this info.   ViewExif   It will also work with Google Drive.   I don't know about Google Photos as that relatively new feature.
