I just wanted to say, I feel for you. It's tough letting go of a faithful companion after a lot of years of tail-wagging and unconditional acceptance and love. I've been there. It's never easy, but the most loving gift you can give her is to let her go when it's time. She's done her job... and done it well. Now, it's your turn...
Peace be with you, cliff.

This is a shot I've been eying up every morning during my commute for about 2 months now. Every day I pass this point, look out the window and go "damn, that would make a great picture'

So this morning I grabbed my camera bag, got off my bus 2 stops earlier then ussual and finally grabbed it.

Fantastic shot Fett

Fett's last shot, I don't know how to put the thumbnail in.

Beautiful, simply beautiful :)

Went out to catch the moon rise tonight. All of a sudden it was there...

I started off shooting manual, at ISO 100 F8 1/40, but with the color of the moon, and the haze i guess there just was not quite enough light for that.

Anyway it was very red until it was well up in the sky.

Questions: When using a tripod should one use the lens VR or IS?
In low light situations when focusing manually, is here a trick to insure the focus?,

With my lens one focuses past infinity, which is not a good thing, especiall when added to my need for progressive eyeglasses,


F5/6 1/25 ISO 100 200 mm 4f-5.6f vr off, tripod

Click on the thumb to get a more accurate color rendtion, as the thumbnail is pretty dull.

Try using a higher ISO about 800, also a longer exposure would probably give you better results for low light conditions. As for VR or IS lens it probably doesn't matter, they pretty much give you the same results.

^^That's a nice picture (Love what the black & white contrast does for the mood). Did you know that man or was that a random shot?

I know probably absolutely nothing about photography, but, I like it (it struck something in me when I saw it) and that's a quality shot. Keep them coming.

Thanks I will try it next month if the weather cooperates.

Actually I was wondering if one should us it on a tripod
