Started off of the back of Sparkymarkys lovely shot of the crescent moon and rather than hijack his thread any more, I thought it would be better to start another for whatever photographs the members would like to show us?
Taking photos has been a bit of a hobby of mine for longer than i like to remember and I don't normally go very far without my camera. A couple of Christmases ag I was luck enough for Pére Noël to bring me a rather nice camera. A Canon 500D with a Canon 18/200mm stabilised lens, along with a nice big 16 gig SD card. That means that I can go totally stupid and take loads of photos without the chance of running out of 'film'..
Mark, mentioned above, took a lovely shot of the crescent moon the other evening and I would like to show a couple of the moon shots I have taken.
Several years back we were lucky enough to have a clear sky and an 80% lunar eclipse
Hudson asked if landscapes were my normal subject? No, just about anything that takes my fancy and I suppose that for every 50 or so I get one that I really like. That for me is the wonder of digital..
This was before digital times, taken at Kemble airfield about 10 years back. It isn't doctored in any way apart from scanning and reducing it for photobucket. I still have the neg and original photo.
this is through the lens of my microscope at X50 of a tiny bug on one of the leaves from one of our lemon trees. Taken with the my Sony DSC F707, the camera I had before my Canon. No special lens, just the big fixed lens it came with
If you don't try, you will never know I suppose
