space station go by in the photo.

I'd probably capture that by accident. I can see that go by in maine, certain intervals have it reflecting the western sun after dark.

On Facebook; "Blew an intake gasket. What can I do to clean this up? Only ran a minute after gasket let go."

I'm thinking that with the liquid level that high that every cylinder is full to the bottom of the pistons and starting to push UP past the rings.

Another Facebook mechanic...."My dad started putting it together while I was at work." Then he got upset when advised to keep dad away from it.

I saw somebody do that after fighting 16 spirolocks in. After he put one in the block, I asked him if he was going to put the heads on upside down to make up for it. At least it was only one side. Pfffft.

That looks like an awfully long minute.

my first at 200mm. through a window pane, gutter and trees..and an outside lamp.
but I like it.
warmer inside.
I do not know what I am looking at out there. I guess venus shows up in the morning. Maybe that is mars or jupiter.

the bright one is moving past a star at its topside or tree branch.. hard telling.

Where's the shadow, it is true they never landed that space station on the moon.

I just bought a digital SLR camera off EBay Germany, a Canon EOS 500D complete, 240 USD.
Itīs in excellent condition, just worn a little where it has been held.
I then scored a Canon 75-300 zoom lens on Amazon Spain for 120 USD, a saving of 54%.
To round it out I bought a grip that will hold two batteries.
Around the garden today.

some pro looking shots. that vette and person contrast to surroundings..vivid. I thought I saw that one already..but I go through thousands browsing.

that is where big lense does something amazing for what would be shrugged off as up close point and shoot..
I first saw that in relation to models and clothing.

I am still self learning. You tube has had some very friendly videos to find on this DSLR stuff





Today was max fstop for a given scenario . Gather as much as possible, as for a landscape.. no set object is this photo (the house has the focus).

f14 is about as far as I have gotten. I could guess the oceans or desert with a distant mountain could go all the way to f32 and look great.
my biggest photos ever... as in data size written.
6.5mb.

here the goal is the old briefcase. The f10 shot is my keeper.

f32 - a bit too much, kills it.


f10
just right to me. kept the edges..

almost ready to go out and about.
