The Photography Thread

That moon was moving pretty fast last night.

You are not kidding one minute it was in the front garden then suddenly it was there in the back garden.

The problem I have with photographing it is that it just looks like a bright ball in the view finder so I can get a proper manual focus on the details. So I was taking pictures in burst mode then looking at the preview and adjusting the focus and iso etc that way but it isnt very accurate, I am sure there must be a better way but I dont know what it is

Try and keep the iso as low as possible, I try shoot between 100 and 800 iso, but you do need a very steady hand(or use a tripod)
if your iso is to high the moon will just look like a bright ball in your picture.

I actually went for a ride on my bike last night and came across this bale of hale determined to be different to all of the other bales of hay:

Found this beauty hiding in my strawberry patch, 3 inches long and as thick as my thumb. It's an Elephant Hawk Moth, http://www.ispotnature.org/species-dictionaries/uksi/Deilephila elpenor

A couple of camera phone snaps from our trip to Coombe Abbey today, unfortunately I hadn't got my camera with me.
