Starlit Sky

It obviously is spring since I didn't freeze my ass off out there. Huzzah! That does mean more photo opportunities for me due to the sheer fact I once again can face the elements outside.

I decided to go out and try to snap some pictures of the halfmoon and test if I could capture some stars on the cell as well. The moon pictures turned out ok but I do like this picture of the starlit sky on which the moon makes his presence quite clear without stealing the whole show.

For those interested:
Exposure time 30s
f/4.0
ISO100

The Frozen Waterfall

So it is officially spring here. Finally I might add.

At long last I got myself out and shooting some pictures. Nothing much since the main point of the walk was to just be outside on the glorious day but still. Some fresh material to post even if I shot only a 15 or so pictures.

And the weather seems to continue to be nice for a while longer too.

Happy happy joy joy!

Red

As I might have mentioned earlier I have participated in small community photo contests at the discussion forums of the Pelit magazine. This is one of them and propably the best of them too. And the only one I have put any effort in to building up to composition.

Most of my shots have been more or less just a snapped shot from here and a snapped picture there which is pretty much clear if you look at them. But then again that just seems to be me. I don't seem to have the patience to build up any settings. Propably because I demand way too much from myself. Perfection right away and no slip ups allowed.

And that is just the thing. If I cannot get what I want right away I just give up. I'll have to work on that and just train on making those setups.
