I really liked the bridge shots. It's hard to find structures like that here in the states.

Has anyone taken any Moon shots through a telescope? Or deep space shots? Would be interesting.

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

Thought about it a lot. Just don't have the funds for that at the moment.

I think we must all have a touch of wier wolf in us
super shots GN

I'd have to go out to the desert to get any good planetary shots. Not worth the gas. Plus the telescope. 8)

Heck, just head up 18 a ways, you don't have to go far, perhaps Running Springs?

That should get you above most of the lights and pollution.

I took that moon shot from my garden which is the middle of the town, need to go further out for better shots, but I don't have a tripod, so try to avoid too long exposures.

Here are some more recent shots.

#1: Worker Bee in Flower
#2: 100% Crop of Bee in Flower
#3: Worker Bee in Flower II
#4: 100% Crop of Bee in Flower II
#5: Worker Bee in Flower III
#6: Cambus O May Bridge (I don't like the concrete in the foreground but the picture needs the bridge above it for balance)
#7: Clach na Ben - Hill nearby my House
#8: Clach na Ben - Another wider View (not a great fan of the light in this one)

Great stuff! The bee shots are super!

Cheers guys, that was the first time since I took the pictures that I had had a look at the bee ones. Was pretty pleased with the results.

[GrauGeist]

Most excellent shots!

I really like the one with Pompeii!

By the way, if you visited Pompeii, did you get a chance to stop by Herculaneum?

 

[Gnomey]

Nope, didn't have the time to do both. Which is a shame as it would of been good to see them both and compare them.

 

[vikingBerserker]

Beautiful shots!!

 

[GrauGeist]

Bummer!

I've read quite a bit about Herculaneum, and it's state of remarkable preservation compared to Pompeii.

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

WOW!! Great shots Gnomey! I really like the stadium shot.
