    Astrophotography

    For those of us who have cameras full spectrum converted (recording visible & IR) an H-alpha can be fitted to the lens (considerably cheaper than another conversion) but the hot mirror in standard cameras generally blocks nearly all the H-alpha, adding a filter to the front doesn't do anything...

    Astrophotography

    I seem to remember exposure in a single exposure is very tricky whatever the magnification. Jupiter itself is MUCH brighter than it's moons, anything that gets the planet right won't see the moons. The result I got through my celestron was fairly similar to yours just with the moons arranged...

    SHOW Lighthouses

    There's no light house at the Walton near here (UK) We do get the cliffs & a shot tower, but it's very rare to get lovely blue seas like that so it just can't compete ;)

    Show your panoramas

    Most of my panoramas are far too wide to display sensibly. But I've found a related pair that are of more useful proportions... The same B&W view of Oban in visual light (top) & Infra Red - both taken as close together as was practical. merged oban view bw small by Mike Kanssen, on Flickr

    Pareidolia (Faces in Things)

    Well the pterosaur head jumped out at me almost instantly, but with a bit more looking I saw 2 good human faces as well (smaller & below the first).

    I guess Americans have a different perspective of old, My house is probably around twice as old as that yet I don't think of it as old.

    I can't say that I'd heard of it, but it's now firmly on the list for places to visit when my wife & I drive across to wales next month!

    I always see a partial white face (nose & cheek) in an old open face helmet when I look at this shot (in the red portion ahead of the wheel): Flash with ghost by Mike Kanssen, on Flickr What makes the shot a bit more spooky is I subsequently found out a distant relative died at this race track...

    Astrophotography

    No (unless you're seeing something I've missed) It was fairly transitory, just a shooting star. I've never managed to make out andromeda. My brothers place would be an excellent spot to try - I'll have to remember when Covid finally allows me to go off & visit him again (it's 9+ hours drive once...

    It was actually being built the last time I walked along that part of the Thames (makes me feel old). Most of those international tourists would have also seen the Tower of London which is about 900 years old IIRC so perhaps we can let them off. :)

    A very dramatic selection Mel, that shows me an area of Ireland I've no familiarity with at all. I think it's worth adding as an option for when Covid finally dies down to the point we can travel freely again. :)

    Fog Image Thread

    Thankyou! I was lucky to have the chance to go home, grab my camera and long lenses, yet still have the fog bank remain. In my experience such views are not only fairly rare but also usually only seen when there's no chance of stopping... The other two shots you refer to both seem to benefit...
