ok cause David has been urging us to be adventurous....I tried to take a pic of the moon the other night...

I KNOW to make a good picture in the dark I have to do something with the aperature or the shutter speed but I wasnt' sure what...( I DID know I needed a tripod or something steady to set the camera on)

so I stopped and put the camera on the roof of the car...here is the best pic I got...



which isn't really that good of the moon....but look at what happened to the cars going by!!!!

the lights stayed but the cars disappeared!! isnt' that COOL??!!

Tv (Shutter Speed)   10

Av (Aperture Value)   2.6

ISO Speed   200(Auto)

[injest]

so I went into town and tried to recreate it....but more...



Tv (Shutter Speed)   8
Av (Aperture Value)   5.6
ISO Speed   80(Auto)

(I never even heard of a ISO of 80!!)

this pic is a fully automatic picture but I like it..



it was taken at the Yamboree...a street carnival in Gilmer...

Those streaks are because you used a slow shutter speed Jess.

Nice pictures by the way!!

Do you have a setting on your camera called a "ND Filter"? ND stands for Neutral Density and it will help to filter out unwanted light. That should help your moon pictures look clearer the next time you take a picture of it.

If your camera has an ND filter, you should find it in the functions menu. If you don't have one, setting a narrow aperture should help (try f/7.1 or f/8.0). You may need to bump up the ISO a bit (200 or 400) and a fast shutter speed. Slow shutter speeds will only increase the halo effect. Try to keep the ISO at 400 or less, otherwise you will probably end up with some image noise.

*David hollers for Chris over the radio with a bunch of static in the background*

David calling Chris. David calling Chris. Come in Chris. Over.

Hi David

It's been ages since I've been here, but be rest assured I promised I wouldn't forget you guys.
Life has been going along at about a million miles an hour, as you may remember I met somebody called Jon back in June, we're still together, in fact we have plans to tie the knot late next year, but more of that later 
I see I have alot of catching up to do, plus those promised London pictures, which I shall post asap.

Look forward to hearing back from you
