I'll go and have a go when baby grips is asleep if it's still clear. What do you think about flash? Shall I aim directly, or bounce it off something? Venus perhaps?
Oh btw can you post the full images as well as crops?

Just out of interest, what focal length was that taken at?
300mm on a 450d, so a bit longer as its not full frame
Posted 1 year ago # -
I tried with a 70-300 lens handheld and it didn't come out very well
Posted 1 year ago # -
Gutted, its cloudy here, hence
Might try again latter.
RD, great capture, did you pick a spot away from city/town lighting?

Here's my effort - don't have a proper tripod, tried to lash the monopod to the balcony but not that good still, so I tried to sharpen it in PS.

Can you take some more general pics and post them up next to kit lens shots of the same scene, so we can boggle?

Boggle away

1000mm russian mirror lens. £100 on ebay.
You can come 'round tomorrow and sort the garden out if you like.

I saw this, 5e, and thought of you:
5200mm effective. Must be the longest available. And only £269. So tempted!

£269 sounds expensive to me. But I am cheap.
