Photo of the Day July 2016

[gaswerks]

caught some noctilucent clouds this morning ... 24 mm, 800 ISO, f/5.0, 2 second shutter

@kenoh, my stormy sky shot was pure fluke, the best of many 2 second exposures during a very active thunderstorm.

Cheers

Probably the most common butterfly in my garden!

No more butterflies? Summer over already!
Well I still have a few.

Comments always welcome.

So same butterfly as yesterday (above) but this one shows the full wing, but less head detail.
I couldn't decide which I liked the best.

[doublepost=1469551099][/doublepost]This flower stuff is catchy...not a macro lens, just the 70-300mm at closest focus point. Comments always appreciated.

Well I like it. I've never used my 70-300 for macro. Maybe I should.

Excellent flower shot!

 

[georgeinnj]

the old steam locomotives always make for a nice shot.

Necessity, the mother of invention (or at least substitution).

Same lily as before with a bit of post - sorry if too repetitive. Comments always appreciated.

I think I prefer the other one. More natural look works better to my mind.

Nice moon shot with good detail. I have a few moon photos taken with my (currently broken) 8" Meade telescope that I'll have to share.

As promised, here's the best photo I got of the moon before I broke my telescope. Maybe some day I'll get it fixed.



Camera: Canon EOS Rebel T3i
Lens: Meade LX90-ACF 8" f/10 Telescope
Exposure info: ISO 100, 2000mm, f/10, 1/125 sec
Sharpened/de-noise/add saturation in iPhoto.
