I decide to take pic of my car with stars, but strange light appears to photo:

Sun already?


Closer inspection reveals that it is not sun after all:


This is where battery finally gets flat, it was fully charged when I left

Jani, your pics are awesome lately!

Great Pics there,
What lense did you use to take the picture of the moon?

Thanks guys, your comments mean a lot

Close up from moon is taken with Tamron 70-300mm lens, I'm not happy to sharpness of that shot, but I guess it was because of there was so much dirty air as moon was so low.

It can do far better than that:


Those photos I posted are pretty much out from camera, all have resized, first and fourth have been rotated (it is amzingly hard to get them straight in dark when you don't really see a lot from finder), fifth has edited most as it is built up from 5 images so it has total exposure time of 2 minutes 30 seconds, seventh has had it's levels adjusted a bit, some sky filter would been nice for that shot, surpsisingly last pic was only resized

Close up from moon was around 1/60th of second exposure time ISO 200 and F might have been 8, that is out from memory, so could be wrong too. Other shots are 20-30 seconds ISO 1600 and F3.5 mostly for wide angles and 5.6-6.5 for narrower angles.

So to take pic from moon one could perhaps getaway without tripod, even 300mm requires quite fast shutter speed it migh be possible if using large aperture, but that of course limits quality a bit.

BTW has anyone ever dismantled Nikkor 18-55 DX II lens? I have one with gears broken, so I thought that I remove autofocus from it as it should work manually just fine and I don't use autfocus anyway. I could get it open, but there is two metal rings that somehow hold backplate on place so I really can't get gears out from it.

Those wide angle shots were taken with Nikkor 18-55mm AF which is lesser in image quality than that type II

I get to post some again











Plus a random poncey picture that I stil can't get the hang of... if only arty things were as easy to take as technical things
