Yeah, well I had someone else tell me to, so I gave in

Erm..what does completely OT mean

That's good news, I use mine the same way you guys do....when I remember to throw the switch from "normal mode".

I try to always use AP. If I need to be conscious of shutter speed I tend to go for manual.

But,I have a bad habit of returning the switch to normal when I put the camera away, just in case I need to pick it up quickly and "snap" something. But, because of that, I often take a few shots before I remember to think for myself. That's all part of me needing to learn to slow down before shooting

Nope, the T mount fits the camera. The screw thread takes the tube which slots into the eyepiece.

Yep, you are on the right tracks, sort of.
The T ring adapter fits to your camera. The eyepiece tube screws into that and slots into the eyepiece holder on the scope and you can put different eyepieces into it, if required. YOu can also use it without eyepieces so the scope basically becomes your lens.

It is unlikely you'll be able to use it for any terrestrial ( wildlife )shots. The closest I could focus my telescope was on a block of flats about a mile or two away.
Let's face it, they are designed to focus on things millions of miles away

I'd have to argue with you over that point! I like your photos.

No argument there, though. I like that idea

Thanks Terry.

You're the second person to say that about my sig. so I might just do that. I heard it in a comedy show and stole it from there.

Glad you liked the shots

Ted.

A couple of shots I took at Christmas and only just gotten round to looking at. These are examples of the new architecture in Liverpool as a result of the Capital of Culture year.

C&C please

I agree.
I came here from a backround of no photographic knowledge. All I knew is I wanted to get more out of my camera. None of the guys ( and girls ) on here have been elitist. In fact you have all been very patient with me and extremely helpful and I think I have learned a lot. But I know I still have a long way to go to attain the standard of some of you guys, and I hope you will still help me on the way.

So, can I say "Fourthed"

Seriously though, Thanks Rob. Good idea.

What a wonderful debate

I had felt guilty in the past about posting in the gallery as I didn't feel I was up to scratch. The only reason I started was to have a "My Portfolio"

But, I do prefer to post in "Your Photos" as I like the feedback. Good and bad, I have always found the feedback respectful and helpful. Talking of which, time to pull my finger out and get some more pics to upload.
