AMERICAN COOT

 

@Daddykool .. did you see they're coming out with a nikon p1100 ?? I think I might have to try and get it, even a little more zoom than the p1000 it just replaced

 

I did not. I’ll have to look into that and see the specs. Looks like it's in stock locally to me for $1100. That's not bad. You’re getting some excellent shots with your P900. I know you felt like you were struggling a couple years ago, but you seem to have it figured out.

I’d also like to pick up a lens for my DSLR with maybe 500mm zoom someday.

 

I'd be stoked to go from 83x optical, to 125op,.. or somewhere in that ball park...absolutely nuts for a point and shoot

 

First photos I've taken since October. My 300mm lens (which I usually use when on my deck) wasn't enough to get decent shots. But it was nice to see these guys. Two adults and their juvenile. Or maybe not theirs, since they weren't really together. Saw 5 eagles total today. Plus a red-bellied woodpecker, I think.

 

Still good shots, insanely jealous of seeing the eagles, I didn't see 1 today.... were getting wood peckers like roaches around here AAAAALLLLL over the place now lol

 

Big question: are you gonna photograph the eclipse tonight?

 

God/ weather permitting..absolutely lol I'm usually awake till then anyways

 

From a trip to Crater Lake around 2008, a stereogram of the Pirate Ship!

Cross your eyes to merge the two image panels into one!

 

Hope you get some cool shots, bro.

 

Lol, thanks, member too lol

 

Well it was cool to see the lunar eclipse, but I couldn't get shit for a good pic... oh well maybe next time

 

Thanks for getting pics. It was cloudy where I am

 

Very Cool!

 

Those are good. What don’t you like about them?

 

Seems like after it went red, it was lower light, I couldn't get it to focus right

 

Repost,I forgot a couple pics, srry

 

Those are good. But I see what you're saying about the red. In that shot, I see the stars streaked (camera movement or earth rotation), which makes me think the shutter speed slowed down to compensate for the large decrease in light. Assuming here that shutter was set to auto. I got the same results a few years ago when photographing Jupiter. In that event, I had the camera on a tripod and used a 2-second delay to allow camera shake to stop after the button was pressed. Incrementally sped up the shutter until the streaking stopped.

 

Yeah, I think I'm deff going to have to play with it a little more.. when's the next eclipse lol

 

Yeah that is streaked. How was this shot? tripod? was mm? how long was the exposure?

 

next eclipse is next week. solar, not lunar.

i'll see your moon and raise you this one.

 

I'm out of moons. So I'll use birds lol
