Most likely low Earth orbit satellites. There has been a massive proliferation of these e.g. SpaceX's Starlink constellations which are often seen in a group. I've lost count of the number of satellites I've seen. Some like the now defunct Iridium constellation give a brief bright 'flare' glint as their large solar panels act as a mirror for sunlight.

Hi Gareth,

You don't need to worry about feeling mediocre, you are not! What you have is your own style which is just as valid.

Regards
Mike

That Welsh light is really helping you!

Is this a new project emerging?

Lucky you! A very nice capture.

The closest I've managed to get to something like is was years ago of a daytime Lunar occultation of Venus. I was using my first digital camera a 6mp Panasonic Lumix (very) compact camera. The image I got was not that good but the thing I noticed most was how much brighter Venus' surface brightness was compared to the Moon's. This was from the SW of England.

Cheers

Re the 18-135 lens:

Yes this is a very good general all purpose zoom lens, the autofocus is nice and quite as the lens has a build in motor and doesn't use the noisy 'screwdriver' drive from the camera's body.

On the APS body, like the K3 ii, it's equilvalent to 27mm to 200mm in full frame terms, a very useful focal length range.
