Night

Thanks to everyone's tips yesterday, I've improved on my moon photos. Still not perfect, but a definite improvement. Popup Link

This moon is a combination of two photos at ISO200, f/11, 1/125th second, with a bit of sharpening.

Continuing the night theme, on Australia Day (Jan 26) we went to the South Perth foreshore for the fireworks (along with a few hundred thousand other people). Popup Link Perth at Night Fireworks! More fireworks!

Popup Link Sunset at Fishing Boat Harbour, Fremantle, on a warm summer night when there were big bushfires in the hills. As we walked down to the harbour there was ash falling from the sky, despite being 40km away from the action.

And finally, the Popup Link War Memorial at Kings Park.

Steve, your photo of This Moon is exactly why this group works. We give constuctive critisism and positive feedback to our members, in hopes that it will enlighten the photographer to use it and profit from it! Great job!

you might want to try opening up your apeture to an f 2.8 or f3.7 that would allow you to go to a much faster shutter speed which should help negate camera movement and vibrations on your moon shots i loved fireworks and memorial

the memorial shot was my favorite--followed by the last fireworks shot, which looks like you caught it at just the right time!
