45 second exposure resting on a windowsill which is why it's not sharp. I don't care I like it anyways.
Left to Right:
Yaesu VX-6R (2-meter, 1.25-meter, 70-cm bands [144/220/440 MHz})
TYT TH-UVF9 (2-meter/1.25-meter)
Baofeng UV-5R (2-meter/70-cm)
I was awarded my Technician Class amateur radio licence on December 18, 2015. I have had a fascination with radios, including ham, since I was a teenager in the 1980s. I have owned a number of scanners over the years; the impetus to finally take the leap and get my ham license (at the age of 47) was my successful bid on the Baofeng at right. I paid less than $35 for it on eBay.
Is it not amazing how, after you get involved in a hobby and learn more about it, you suddenly "need" additional items? I decided I wanted to operate on the 1.25-meter band, so I bought the TH-UVF9. Quality-wise, it is a step up from the UV-5R; I paid roughly twice as much for it.
Soon, I came to the conclusion that it would be much more convenient to carry a single radio with all three bands than to juggle the two dual-banders... I got the Yaesu secondhand on eBay for roughly half the normal going rate. It works great and is quickly becoming my favorite.
The UV-5R is shown with the optional 3800 mAh high-capacity battery and an authentic Nagoya NA-701 VHF/UHF antenna tuned for the 144 and 440 MHz bands.
The TH-UVF9 is equipped with a Nagoya NA-702 tuned for 144 and 220 MHz.
The VX-6R has a Diamond SRH320A tri-band antenna.

I took this photo of the moon tonight because the night sky is so clear. I handheld shot this and stacked it in Lightroom.
This tiny Damselfly landed and posed on the shade side of this backlighted leaf. Its pose was wonderful, and it stayed there for some time. Unfortunately, it seemed to like the deep shade very much; the camera not so much. When I finally 'prompted' it to move, it did...but left the area completely.
(the shooting information tells the exposure story.)

Whenever I leave for a shoot I stand in the front doorway and check I have everything before I get into the car. This evening I did exactly that and guess what. It’s not fool proof! I managed to forget to take my tripod!
To most people it’s no big deal but I can’t shoot without one. Or that’s what I thought.
When I got to the location I had one of those frozen on the spot ‘Oh no’ moments and remembered that I never put my tripod back after cleaning it earlier that day.
So what do you do? Soldier on or, pack up and go home? I decided to stay and make do with resting it on rocks, stones and sticks. After making a stack of stones and trying different techniques I decided to set the camera to 1/3 sec and shoot handheld.
I didn’t expect wonders but some came out quite well.
What do you think? I appreciate your feedback
