The Photography Thread

[paul04]

@paul04 That's a nice picture Paul. I have tried and tried to the point of pretty much giving up, but why is it so damn hard to get a sharp picture of the moon?

I did the above shot hand held,( the moon was just in the right spot that I could rest the camera on the shed roof and get the right angle to take the picture)
but most of the time I put the camera on a tripod, and use a remote shutter so I don't shake the camera.

Camera setting, F5.6 Speed 1/320 and ISO at 800.

New idea for a soul song - A Rainy Day in Gloucester:

University Homecoming this weekend, and these pipers were in the parade. Quite the cold, raw day for this, and nice of them to come out and play at the parade.

Love the two of the bridge... and the aerial one is stunning! Where is it?

It's on the North Yorkshire Moors, looking southwest into the valley indicated. Google maps says the curly stream in the left of the photo is called Great Fryup Beck - nice name !

How about a shed photo?

How about a shed photo?

That is a fabulous shed and I've been admiring the pictures of the old Ariel. Is it going to get done up?

Cracking shed, Gromit!

It's the old man's shed (and Ariel). I remember going on the back of his Square 4 when I was about eight years old. I hope it gets done up, but I fear time may have marched on too far. He has a couple of them in bits and I recall him heating up the cylinder head in mother's oven until it expanded enough to drop onto the main block of the engine. He used to keep maggots in the fridge, too, for fishing. Engines in the oven, maggots in the fridge. Them were the days.

The moon tonight, I normally used the 300mm lens, but just had the 200mm lens with me tonight.

Here's one of my Hennessy, taken this summer.

I'm getting a 'proper' camera for Christmas (apparently!) So I'll be taking lots of much better quality photos!

Still, I don't think it's too bad for my Samsung Galaxy S's crappy camera!

I went to Springfield today, saw the State Capitol from a distance,

and a bike rack at the grocery store,

Lincoln's Tomb(a short walk from where most of my wifes family is buried)

and the neo-neolithic tomb of Governor Tanner, a governor of Illinois around the turn of the 20th Century.

Next May, they will stage a re-enactment of Lincoln's Funeral here. This graveyard is the only one I know of with a souvenir stand near the entrance.

I was passing through Springfield that day as well, on route to Chicago. Small world innit!
