This amused me, on holiday in Madeira Mrs Ed was taking a picture of a reconstructed galleon and didn't realise till the evening she'd been photo-bombed

Hehe, the only one not taken locally. That one was taken from the ferry leaving Harwich for the Hook of Holland. Or possibly from the ferry leaving Newcastle for Ijmuiden. Done each one so many times I can't remember now.
<edit> Actually Harwich to Hook left in the morning and arrived late afternoon whereas Newcastle to Ijmuiden left in the evening and arrived the next morning, so the pic is almost certainly leaving Newcastle.

A mate from work gave me an old telescope a few months ago. I took this shot with my iphone up against the eye piece. A pita trying to keep the phone lined up, everything focused and track the movement of the moon to keep it in view.

Just because I'm a luddite: taken with a seventy year old camera on 4x5 film. Had to shrink this like mad to get it onto the uploader; the original scan is around 12,000 by 9,000 and these days I can scan at much higher resolutions: about 40,000 by 50,000 for an equivalent of 8 gigapixels
@JKD - the large format camera has its uses for car photography but generally you need longer lenses than I have so you can shoot from further away and reduce the distortion - probably a 1000-2000mm range. Which makes the camera just a bit unwieldy...
Also, the lenses I do have show every speck of dust, every dent, every ripple
