Happened to have the long lens on at sunset this evening, but utterly failed to get what I was trying for. So ... full moon tonight! The good news is, the moon is still intact and won't be raining down on us in a hail of earth-burning misery and fire. The bad news is, photographically ... pretty much looks exactly like it did LAST time I took a picture of the full moon. Regardless: here's this very night's full moon. Shot with a 200-500 on a DSC_7715.thumb.jpg.7d33827cf083b6754dcf0e53e929080d.jpg D810. Share some photos!

I recently did a ride to SW Wisconsin for color, apples and roads. Turns out I could pick one! Cold rain rain rain, made colors dreary, roads wet and no fresh apple pie! I have to ride up there again...as usual my R1200GS performed flawlessly. D810 w 24-70 2.8 nikkor

Sorry I've been falling behind for a few weeks - health and work mean no pretty pictures. I had the excuse when my wife's family visited recently and we had unexpectedly clear weather.

 

Yuri Gagarin statue at Greenwich Observatory (plus a convenient aircraft). D850@ISO72, 1/1000s, Tamron 24-70@24mm f/5.6, polariser and mild sky tweak in post.

Yeah, work has a way of getting in the way of getting good pictures. I have just started working a flexible schedule where I get every other Friday off, so that has been helping me get out more.

I'd been using my lunchbreaks as an opportunity to go shooting (and lost some weight partly as a consequence) - but work stress is limiting that. I'll probably get fatter again until my deadlines pass...

 

For what it's worth, it turns out I wasn't an idiot about using the polariser at night, I just have a poor memory, so my descriptions were wrong. My Cutty Sark and Greenwich pictures didn't have a polariser on them after all (my wife remembers me asking whether her polarised sunglasses might be borrowable for shooting through, but I didn't actually do so). I hadn't remembered to bring the polariser until the later tree shot. Lovely morning today, which I expect to be cloudy by lunchtime and for the rest of the week; I've not brought my camera...
