Will do when I get more time Horus busy doing photos on a theme for college at the moment, my chosen theme is "wood" old & new, I love all textures/grain/colour of wood, was a visit to our museum today & got permission to take some photos but not artifacts & no flash, got some of the beautiful old staircase leading up into the museum etc etc ........oh & I did get 1 photo of a big stuffed beast with horns ...not sure what it is the lady following me around turned a blind eye at that one.
Lucky you bigken - I was out looking at the moon earlier but we have too much cloud cover here. You are right it isn't pin sharp but better than anything I've managed so far.
I recon that you have done a reasonable job there Ken even at 300mm you are going to struggle getting a good picture and of course any atmospheric aberation is going to take the edge off the photograph. If you have not already done so why not give it a quick sharpen in one of the photo programs
I have just popped out for a look and was hoping to report that like Brian we had cloud cover No such luck! it is as clear as a bell, but as cold as the Arctic ........ brrrrrr
Now the question is, should I done my coat and go outside taking pictures? or say "bugger that for a game of soldiers" and stay inside where it is nice and cosy?
Ken, have you tried the bracketing techique I described above? although I don't think it will improve what looks like a pretty good picture to me.
Great MOONS! All of 'em are really great. I'm like Kiya and have yet to try bracketing. Am still trying to come to grips with some of the lesser features and mostly am not understanding the concept of 'merging' the photos. I understand in theory what it is but technically I do not know how to approach it.
The moon is bright here right now too but it is sooo COLD out there I haven't even gotten close to the door let alone go outside.
Well I was tempted by Kens post, so I wrapped up in a big wooly dressing gown (even though I was still in my day clothes) wrapped a scarf around my neck and put a wooly hat on, yes I know it was not a pretty sight
I took quite a few pictures and was freezing my prawns off anyway, none of them were any good and none were even near to some of the worst ones I have taken So it just goes to show that it does not always work out, either that or it was because I could not wait to get back indoors again.
Anyway no problems, with any luck by the weekend we should get a chance at some nice snow scenes.
It's been persisting down with persipitation all day so haven't been able to take any new pictures of spiders etc. So as not to disapoint Kiya here's a cambodian spider together with a few other...

Oh crumbs! at this time o' night I'll be having nightmares seeing that critter...........all nice pics I love the lion :)
Temple priests in many countries used to watch the sky at night for the first sighting of a new moon. I was at the temple of Stella this evening. The New Moon was less than 31 hours old shortly after...
I was doing too many things at the same time with the TV on for hours. Chose to free myself of two heavy bags of memories and when I carried them down to the container, it started raining. Who cares...
