In my opinion, my favorite is the boats and hillside shot because the hillside and boats kind of fuse to make one geometric triangle that dominates the shot. Yes but the boats all have a blue hue from the sea and sky reflections, if I'm referring to the same one as you: https://www.dropbox.com/s/97rkfdp242k3eb6/_DSF0302.jpg Surely this can be corrected post-processing I have to agree, the boats do seem to be a bit too blue. As I have said elsewhere in the thread, I am still on the road in South Africa, and I pretty much posted quick edits using my iPad. That said, here is another rendition with a selective temp adjustment to the boats. https://www.dropbox.com/s/i3pv4venzqa88iz/_DSF0302e1.jpg You haven't got that vacation thing down right! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LwiIYoJx5Es Not exactly. ;-) With 10 hours difference between California, and Cape Town, I find myself awake at odd times. So what is a guy with a camera, and WiFi connection to do? Cruse? Geting that Southern Cross on file? I've got to understand that the opportunities for astro are amazing in southern Africa. :-)) The place to go to get the best, clear night Southern sky shots would be about 150 miles ( 242km) North of Cape Town at Sutherland. That is also where SALT, the South African Large Telescope (the largest in the Southern hemisphere), and the South African Astronomical Observatory are located. https://goo.gl/images/DrHiwx Sure, happy days! Spectrography is very interesting... The real Hubble killer would be this one though: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_Southern_Observatory#Very_Large_Telescope -- teleportation kills Until the James Webb Space Telescope comes online in 2019. Then it will be a Hubble killer still! "The VLTI can achieve an angular resolution of milliarcseconds, equivalent to the ability to see the headlights of a car on the moon." :-)) But there aren't any car headlights on the moon to see ;-P -- teleportation kills And you know that how? Things change you know... -- teleportation kills |
