Milky Way and Planet Mars taken a week ago while camping at Mareeba, Far North Queensland That's a remarkable image. We've lost a lot living in big cities where we can barely see the stars.

John Mitchell Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 I liked this one not because it's such a great shot but because it was captured with an inexpensive (I paid about $100 US) fisheye adapter that Sony made for it's 16mm E-mount "pancake" lens a few years ago. The results are surprisingly good with my new Sony a6000. No need to break the bank... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbimages Posted August 24, 2018 Author Share Posted August 24, 2018 Bali holds a special meaning for me, for the peace it can bring and the friends made there over the years. We always send the last couple of days in Sanur. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very kind of you to say so John. I hadn't planned the shot. Sitting there by my campfire by a river, I gradually saw the sky lighting up. Incredibly, the Milky Way and Mars appeared right bang in the middle of the treetops. I thought Timelapse! Out came the tripod, intervalometer. Thing is I hadn't done one for a while, I knew the settings but couldn't remember quickly how to set the intervalometer. So I used it manually counting in my head 15 sec. exposure then 3 sec. interval 175 times!! Plus aloud every 10 frames and counting on my fingers. For a 10 sec. timelapse. I hope the pic sells....

Avpics Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 Rupert the Bear, dabbing at the Bristol International Balloon Fiesta: This year's event was its fortieth anniversary and the iconic Rupert was at that first show. He's now showing his age and can't fly, and this was his first public appearance for many years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gvallee Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 Close your eyes everybody. This is what I found in my garden. The remains of a frog. I had to contact the frog experts at James Cook University to figure out what it was. Predation they said. A bird ate it then dropped it. It fell on my bush. I had feared a deformed frog due to a virus, but nothing sinister they said. It did send the local Facebook page into meltdown though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Mitchell Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 I've been playing with my fisheye conversion lens again. Here's one that I like for some reason. P.S. I probably could have removed the moiré patterns on the base of the dome, but I quite liked them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did the same thing with my old Corolla a number of years ago. The recycling guy gave me $100 CAN for it. Could have been worse... P.S. Didn't you have to give the license plates back, or at least remove them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW, there's a tropical ecosystem under that dome with hundreds of "exotic" plants and birds. Here's one of its longtime residents. I hadn't seen him for over ten years. He's in his 50's now. I have a feeling that he didn't recognize me. I've aged much more than he has. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
