Thanks Mark! The 500 is surely awesome!

I don't want people to think you can only get good shots with super high end glass however. This one was taken by my friend using my 1DIV and the 100-400 MKII, which is a lens that I by far use more than any other

Nice and sharp.

An hour in the life on an eclipse. One picture every 10 minutes.

Very Cool Mark!!!

M_Six · 09-28-2015, 11:10 PM

Thanks, Ed. The clouds and the strong wind made it challenging, but I also think the clouds added to the drama of the images, even though they hid much of the eclipse. Lots of time spent waiting for a clearing in the clouds last night.

Nicely done, Mark.

Ed, loving the new glass. You actually notice a difference in IQ, don't you?

Brilliant eclipse shot Mark.
I wanted to try a similar sequence myself, even set the alarm and got up specially (my wife thinks I'm crackers !), but we had 100% cloud

Still, we've another chance in 2033 . . . I'll be 88

C5driver · 09-29-2015, 10:41 AM

Great exposure!

Thanks, Alan. I learned a thing or two and would like another chance, but yes, 2033 is a ways off and I'll be 74. Maybe by then I can send my clone or droid out to do it.

Wow Ed, those images are sharp !

Tonight we've just been treated to an amazing sunset.
We went for a walk along our West Beach, and this is the view we had, looking west towards Inverness.

This is the moment of sunset this evening and, as is so often the case, the colours just got better and better after the sun went down.

Awesome sunset!

Itsed65 · 09-29-2015, 06:37 PM

Very nice Alan!

Itsed65 · 09-29-2015, 07:12 PM

This one almost jumped out in front of me before reversing and heading back to cover

Nice shots from the new big gun, Ed.

Alan, I posted earlier (I thought) but it doesn't appear to be here. I must have hit the wrong button. In any case, amazing shots. Hope you have plenty of wall space because they both deserve it.

Keeping with the "Sky" theme:

C5driver · 09-30-2015, 03:53 PM

Red Rocks NCA. Not a happy sky...

allachie9 · 09-30-2015, 03:55 PM

2 wonderful 'sky' shots.

Mr Tonka · 09-30-2015, 04:53 PM

More weird skies at Bryce Canyon..

Sorry for the larger pic, the sky is difficult to see in smaller versions.

Great range of colors and balanced composition.

You can go even larger.
