[Amaterasu]

Nice, sky!  Wish I has such a delightful toy!

[A51Watcher]

Very cool! 

Now I can't wait to see some night stuff!


Woot!

[The Matrix Traveller]

Much UFO activity can be seen at night in your "Zenith", (A good reason for this) and up to 22.5°
from the Zenith, 360° around the Zenith, especially between the hours of 11pm and 2am,
because your Zenith is in the Earth's Shadow, so there is NO light from the Sun reflecting off objects
in this area.

At this time one can only see objects emitting light, rather than reflecting light.

The Earths Shadow as you know extends way beyond the orbit of the Moon.

yeah and there is a lot to see here....
so far the only thing i've been able to 'capture' is the blinking satilite..and i blurred that

and using the flashlight to see the dials and settings every other shot
has everything out there crackin up
hubby had to come inside  he was laughin so hard

but just you wait..

[burntheships]

Cant wait sky!

[A51Watcher]

Cant wait sky!

Me either!

She's been shoppin around for a few months now, and if one caught her eye it must be a doozy!

[The Seeker]

ok otter, be patient and practise; am waiting to see you post up some cool shots of the area you dwell in...

care to share what the toy is?

[sky otter]

hi seeker

it's a fujifilm finepix S8200.. 16 megapixels 40 zoom
and all kinds of dials..lol

i was going to do a garden thread the other day but thought it was distracting to the running distracts we were having

got it on sale..they're probably dropping it..lol....i seem to buy orphans

here's a few test shots.. i've been really happy with the daylight stuff
good thing..took me two days to figure out where the flash was..sigh




one of our feral cats we call 'pretty'
..using the zoom..they aren't petable..but they eat well..lol





sky shot..just to see the color



the poddle..for a close up


the beagle-st bernard mix..biggley
he was impressed




buck in velvet..long shot..last night there were 13 deer in the field 8 were bucks
great population control ratio


wow that took forever.. hope not too long

[A51Watcher]

Well sky -

If you don't capture anything interesting around your place, you might want to consider a road trip somewhere, like say maybe NW Utah. 

I hear the star gazing is pretty interesting around there these days.      








 

[A51Watcher]

Excellent sharpness and color sky!

You say does movies too huh? Nice!

[sky otter]

yep 51  movies and can be sent directly to you tube or facebook or other stuff
i have no idea how..yet..
hopefully i will learn in the daylihgt hours..
cause the peanut gallery laughing and my flashlight fumbling is not helpful

and i think i'm pretty much stationary (geeze do i need and a or an e for that..sigh)
i ain't leaving home no more.. worked to hard to get it the way  it is

but if i ever do get a movie  it will go to you first and you can give instuctions..hows that?




phew.. got it right
a in for staying and e is for paper...lucky me..yeahhhhhhhhhhhh

nice camera sky.i really liked the closeup of the plane.the others were very nice too.

[Somamech]

What camera did you get Sky ?

The plane pic at 40x is pretty awesome if I am thinking you got a small point and shoot style cam!!!

[Shasta56]

Nice pics.  Pretty is very pretty.  The deer has that "deer in the headlights" look.  Maybe you need a miner's hardhat with a headlamp.  Or maybe one of those little headband flashlights.
