Are Dave and Tommy HT members? Or just personal friends?Last edited by MyopicJoe; December 5, 2008, 07:37 AM."By concealing your desires, you may trick people into being cruel about the wrong thing." --Steven Aylett, Fain the Sorcerer

Re: HT's Photo Sharing Thread - Chapter 4
DaveB and TommA don't have time for forums. I get emails and photos from them once in a while. DaveB is staying with his sister in North West Yorkshire for the Christmas time. He sent me a lot of photos of how the rain there was melting the snow.
I don't want to bore you all by putting them on. Like I mean, who wants to feel cold in Hawaii ?

Re: HT's Photo Sharing Thread - Chapter 4
I was at the Honolulu Zoo when I had a case of serious lens envy. A daddy was taking pictures of his kid with what looks to be a Canon 1D MkIII and a 70-200L f/2.8 IS lens. I love taking pictures of photographers, so I snapped one of him:
By chance does anyone recognize him? Is he a news photographer or something? He's got some pretty buffed arms (from swinging all that glass, no doubt).
Alas, with just my Nikon D40, 18-55mm kit lens, and some ingenuity; I managed some decent astronomy shots later in the week...
The moon:
Mars:
Take THAT, Tattratt!
;_D

For all you fellow amateurs out there, here's a guy who beat out 55,000 other contestants...with a consumer grade point-n-shoot camera and a $20 plastic tripod. He saw something which looked interesting to him, and spent the time to get the shot just right. Practicing photography is more important than the gear you buy.

I thought Menehune Man would have gotten it, due to where (I think) he works. Or maybe he's just holding back.
Oh, and I was mistaken by the second planet. It's not Mars, but rather Venus."By concealing your desires, you may trick people into being cruel about the wrong thing." --Steven Aylett, Fain the Sorcerer

It's the "Science on a Sphere" exhibit in the Planetarium lobby of the Bishop Museum? If so... how'd you black out the rest?Life is either an adventure... or you're not doing it right!!!

If so... how'd you black out the rest?
For the curious, my camera settings were: 1/30 sec, f/4.2, ISO 800
For Venus, I used a spot removal tool and an exposure reducing brush, to get rid of pesky background clutter:
For the Moon, a simple crop did the trick:
If I researched the SoS website correctly, I believe the Moon images came from the Clementine Spacecraft.

The SoS globe is rather bright, compared to the rest of the room. Apparently you just have to meter for the globe, and most of the room disappears into blackness. I didn't really expect that to happen, when I took the pic; it was a pleasant surprise, when I got home. Oh, and I happened to have positioned myself so that none of the lighted displays were right behind the globe. Many of my favorite pics turn out to be accidents. I try to learn from my luck.
