Up early in time to see Venus before it becomes too light. Had to do a liitle 'doctoring' to the image for clarity.

Impressive shot Droffarc.  Considering Venus is 40 million kilometers away the Pocket 2 did really well.  

Not bad,  and you can just make out the colour too.

Yeah!
With my other camera I could even make out an ant walking on Venus...... Oh wait a bit! the ant was walking on my lens

How are you finding the pocket 3? I don't think it is worth the expense only to find that within a year or two there is bound to be a pocket 4 and more.

I agree, it is a lot. but you don`t have to upgrade everytime. Still rocking the OP1,  and My Air 1 just got upgraded to the air 3.  I think t6he OP3 looks so good.

I agree it does BUT my wallet disagrees intensely.

yeah, mine too.  If I was a bit better off, i`d get the OP3.  
Got the air 3 secretly, counting the days till I get caught.

Good luck - I hope you don't get caught. They might take away your t shirt.

Pretty Clear for a planet with a pocket camera.

I didnt have a pocket before hand and Ive been waiting for this for some time,  so far Im quite happy with it.   If I had the Pocket 2 I think it would have been a bit disappointing though.

You're certainly getting the cloud breaks there Droff. Nicely done.

Hand held at that, no tripod or monopod used

As long as you are happy, that is all that counts

Today we have high level cloud and a cool sea breaze, tomorrow cloudy - 24 deg C and 9 m/sec wind.
The weather is like a woman - what is forecast for today may not actually happen.

It's a lot more portable than my Osmo Mobile and I can use my phone at the same time as doing Timelapse shots which is an added bonus.

I must agree - my mobile 3 gets very little use, I have to specially make an effort to use it - sorry I bought it as it is nowhere near as usefull as the pocket 2

     Walking on your lens.....

I feel the same,   and with them always being behind the iPhone release by a year or so it was getting a pain to upgrade as Id always get the new phone.

Nice capture!
I remember when she was very visible then.
