Well, earlier Fozzer alerted me to the fact it was a full moon tonight. Having attempted to get a good pic last night I thought I'd try again tonight and see what the results were.

So, taking over 70 shots and fiddling endlessly with the settings I got the following results...










Good eh?



The last shot is one of Venus taken with a 15 second exposure (the longest allowed by my camera) the fact that it's drawn out like that is due to the earths rotation.

Still searching for it here...hopefully I'll see it soon cos I'm getting tired.

Nice pics, especially the Venus one.

[Hagar]

Excellent.

It's not very high in the sky so you could easily be too far north. Try looking to the south/southwest in a couple of hours.

Nice... I took some pix of a blood-red rising  Moon last night- hope they come out OK.
You might want to try shooting objects like Venus at a shorter exposure setting- it's pretty damn bright, so you may not need such a long exposure.

Like so?

I got the effect I was aiming for in that first one. It's just a pity my camera only goes up to 15 seconds.

long exposures are good fun. I am going to take mine out one night and set it for 10 or 15 minutes and see what sort of star trails i can get.
Some really good photos woody. When are we going to get to see a tour of your town?

I'll take that photo tomorrow.

Let's all go out and howl at the moon at midnight, see you many of our neighbors call the cops!

Great stuff Craig, I think I'll go and listen to the Spong Monkeys right now

Cool shots woody!!
This was the best shot I got from Torquay, but then again I only took three shots (sponsored by Carlsberg last night) as I really just wanted to go to bed.

Cheers,

TSC.

LOL...!

P.S. Hi Woody...!

As you seem to have a high powered telephoto lens, how about a shot of the Space Station.
(It also shows up as a bright object in the sky each night).

[Ivan]

Should be today too...

Probably i grab my brothers digital, as i don't have a tripod for the FED and the Konica

Great Pictures! I wondered why I had grown hairy and started howling......


And in case anybody wonders what a "Spong Monkey is"......
