 night time in the desert, used a waterbottle stuck in the sand as a tripod, hence the low, low angle. still dig the shot.

One of these is from ages ago - I think I may have posted it somewhere but evidently not in this thread. It had so much potential, but I didn't have a tripod & the white balance is pretty terrible (and as far as i can remember unfixable in pp) And this other one was experimenting with a strobe, I really like the bright white (minus the fact it looks a bit kkk) and the blurred stars in the background whose array of different colours pop out. Again it would have been nice to have had a wider lens but other than that I can't complain  edit: what the heck this one is cool too, I love how fast the river looks

xzzy posted:Most of the western hemisphere is going to see a lunar eclipse this Tuesday (on the winter solstice! thanks for the heads up! I'm kind of keen to hear any tips as well. And you said prairies.. if you're in alberta you can check up on http://corona-gw.phys.ualberta.ca/AuroraWatch/ to see if there'll be any aurora activity - it's supposed to be really clear on tuesday (although at 6 days away I don't give the forecast much credence) Is a 200mm on a dx sensor long enough to catch good shots of the moon?

Ola posted:- Fogging up lens in low temp. Do I take them out abit early to chill? Leave camera in fridge over night? You'll only have a problem taking your lenses from cold dry outside to nice warm inside, put it in a ziploc before you take it inside to prevent extreme condensation. unless you breath on it outside.

Phew, thought I lost these because of condensation shorting the card, or something (it was freezing) - but I managed to recover them. So as an aside 'pc inspector smart recovery' is money. The 200mm fared okay, I think i was definitely more limited by the fact it was -20 and windy and I couldn't ever get it focused just right without freezing my hands
