I was actually sitting down like 30 feet from them and zoomed in!

actually it's no self portrait. my sister shot this one. my grandmas's 80. birthday. most of the time it was pretty much fun.

I had actually left my small tripod at home because I knew that the moon would be out in full during our time in South Africa, meaning star pics would not be happening. I brought along just a Gorilla Pod instead. However, on our last night on safari, as we were walking back to the tent to get to bed, I looked up at the moon and noticed right away that it wasn't normal. Turns out it was the longest full eclipse of the moon in over 100 years, and it was happening in South Africa, RIGHT NOW!

I got the camera on the Gorilla Pod, but it would not hold, So after coaxing it to at least stay still while resting on the ground and essentially using the Gorilla Pod to simply point the camera, I was able to get the best Milky Way shots of my life. Probably not as good as they could have been if I could ever figure out the secrets that other people use. But it was amazing!

And the fact is, this last shot of the Moon, Mars, and the Milky Way really is what you could see with the naked eye that night!

actually, a conventional bridge with bamboo finish

Actually, she "decked" herself. I pulled the garland out of a storage box and left it in a heap on the couch. Then I went to the basement for another load of stuff. When I returned here was Natasha. I'm not sure how she got it around her neck so nicely, but she got bored with it and extricated herself as soon as I'd taken the picture.

Actually, four things in three days! ;) This was number 3. Stand by for the other three!

Actually done with the little panasonic Lumix TZ60 .. it is cropped originally shot at 800m equiv, not very good but you can certainly see some details of the bird. Better than not having a camera.

Actually a quote from Super 8 which I saw on Friday. Also for my day which was long and hard.

But mostly - for all my friends in London tonight. Keep safe! xx

actually it's not that dark. there is lots of windows and light.

each cyclotron has 2 computers and 2 monitors per computer.

I found it difficult to light the screens so that it they had something displayed on them.

it could be too that I did this at 530pm there was plenty of natural light.

I choose to ignore it. mabey I should have done this at 10pm.

strobist info

Actually from my granny's button jar.

Actually another of my 'mini world' series. This time a sunset over a distant horizon. (see 'mini world' previously for link to 'how to do')

Actually all that remains of the A&P in the French Quarter. As of a couple hours before we walked past, it turned into a sushi place. 'Coz who needs grocery stores?

Actually, at this hour he could be the first...

Actually, I don't think this is a tit. But I'm not sure what it is. Kind of cute though.

Actually a Peregrine Falcon.

Actually they aren't even her flowers, she was just holding them while I had my fisheye out, liked the colors!

Actually the feathers are the same, but the beaks are rather unique. I don't see these guys very often. To be honest I don't even know what kind of birds the are but we had a lot of them in the park this morning.

Edit- based on the comment below I went Googling and they do appear to be Black Skimmers, the beak is pretty distinctive. It also appears that the reason I don't remember seeing them before is that they really are not native at all to this area; mostly South America and the Caribbean. Guess these guys were plain lost or just visiting the area for Spring Break?
