Would make a nice card...pretty much sums up Christmas.....bahh humbug! ;-)

I would go for a tight frame like this too, up to around half full you really get the chance to krank up the power for more detail making use of the full frame...fine result, perhaps a little burnout in the brighter areas though. Maybe set your camera to spot meter and roam in RA & DEC with your hand controller taking some shutter speed readings for the brighter areas in P mode, if the shut ...

Agree ...I love the range of colour in the backdrop! I'm sure she'll go far....at least 30 miles to the gallon I should think. :oops: Mike

Could really brighten up a dull room...I feel warmer already, lovely image!:wink: Mike

Fed up... or polar bear cure for a hangover?? Like it! :lol:

Very nice image, I suggest maybe shooting at lower ISO for finer quality. The Moon is happy to be photographed at 100 or 200 ISO :-) Welcome to the forum ;-) Mike

Not a bad result but light pollution can ba a real nuisance! Even with my K5 I don't shoot at 6400, 3200 has a little too much noise on dark starry night shots but is quite useable on nights with moonlight or aurora. 800, 1600 with absolute maximum 3200, better pushing levels in photoshop rather than shooting high ISO in the field for smoother results.

Pretty much sums up two big problems with Britain....the weather...and petrol prices! All doom & gloom! :lol: Mike

Great bold composition, for me one of contrast between a seemingly timeless location being invaded by the wheels of progress. Would make a great construction magazine cover ...or the other contrast a conservation publicaton. Mike

Really like this though not sure if you slanted the horizon on purpose. Anyway strong and exciting composition. 8) Mike
