First attempt at sunsets:

I've been wanting to try to take some star trail pictures, and finally had a chance to give some practice shots a try last weekend. Conditions weren't ideal, so they're not exactly stunning, but they're a positive to me as a first try.

A quick test shot to get the exposure calculated

Since the moon was really bright, I decided to try a landscape shot

(yes, that's really a night shot, lit by the moon...for 480 seconds)

And one more just for fun

I need to work on the focusing, but I feel like it was a successful first attempt, despite room for improvement.

It's because they're south of the equator. Just like a toilet bowl swirls the wrong way down there.

Went out last night for a friends nephew that was graduating from their pyrotechnics school, they had to put on a fireworks show. Granted it wasn't as big time as major holiday fireworks or anything but it was something to get some camera time with.

We were almost 1/2 mile away on another small ridge. Camera is Sony A550 DSLR, lens is Sony 18-135mm and cheap tripod. Nothing special. Images were about 15 second exposures.

This thread needs more hummingbirds! Shot these today during a shower.

Took these yesterday on the Deschutes River Trail (a former railroad), Oregon. This was a gravel trail run on the MTB.

Amazing scenery and a good test for my new wide angle lens.

Very nice. Looks like a fire recently went through some of that area.

Quite possibly. This is in the central northern part of the state, just east of the Cascade Mountain range which probably prevents much of the rainfall from the Pacific. I just love the terrain.

Gathering acorns on a 90F degree October day is rough work.

Great shots, Humps! A real test for the camera as well as your skills. :rockon:


This weekend I headed back to the Deschutes River to finish the trail. Near the end there's an abandoned ranch that has been spared demolition. Oregon is nothing if not scenic.

 

[Humperdinkel]

Great shots, Humps! A real test for the camera as well as your skills. :rockon:

Thanks mate :thumbup: I was immensely happy with the results for a first attempt & the fact that they were all shot at 2000 ISO

 

[Humperdinkel]

3 brilliant shots but this one is a KILLER :rockon: :rockon: if you get a chance to head back there with a stormy sunset one day it may well be a money shot :thumbup:
