Used a Vivitar FD 24mm f/2.8 and a Soligor 21mm f/3.8 lenses for the star photos and a Minolta Rokkor 200mm tele for the moon shot.
Got a lot of stars, considering how light polluted the skies of the DC area are, however, I'm not super-happy with these pics.
There seems to be a lot of distortion no matter what combination of settings I use. Could simply be a matter of using cheap lenses.
Ah well, I'm still learning, and any advice would be gratefully appreciated.
Indeed as the title says, I'm back to school.
First time in like 5 years I'm studying.
So that means not as much free time like I had before and there for I can't answer comments or mails as fast as before.
I am truly sorry about it.
Studying comes first, you know.
Also working on a small project right now, should be done at the end of this week :)

We didn't get the brilliant weather for doing the Dragon's back, and as well as haze and greyness affecting the views, we were often between high vegetation. However it is promoted as one of Hong Kong’s best urban hike, so maybe we did not see it at its best.

The holidays have gone so quickly. And my girl has a tough year ahead of her with lots of exams, but I truly hope everything will go well. Fingers crossed!
Some information on this house from The Burrage House Study Report:
"As the only fully executed chateau in Boston [modelled after Chenonceaux, in the Loire Valley of France], the interior of the Burrage House
has achieved major significance for its design, workmanship, and materials. It is a
largely intact example of a turn-of-the century decorative design that has few, if
any, rivals in Boston. Utilizing themes and motifs from the French and Italian
Renaissance, the interior scheme used lavish materials on the first and second
floors, including wood paneling, elaborate stone and wood carvings, intricate
stained glass windows, mosaic tiles and bronze. Although the interior has been
renovated several times since the Burrages last occupied the house in 1947, much
of the design, workmanship and materials are still intact."
"The Burrage House was built in 1899 as the winter home for attorney,
businessman, and philanthropist Albert C. Burrage and his family. It remained in
the Burrage Family until the death of Burrage’s widow Alice in 1947. At that
time, the house was sold and converted into doctor’s offices. The building
underwent a subsequent renovation in 1959 to house the Boston Evening Clinic,
which relocated from nearby 396 Commonwealth Avenue. In 1990, the building
was purchased by Boston Back Bay Board & Care Limited Partnership and, using
historic preservation tax credits, was renovated for use as a nursing home and
elder care facility." [The house is now the site of several condos.]

and I’m not sure what it means, but I assume there’s a tale to be told, if you asked the right chap…
Love those Visible Panty Lines. I like the bloomers in this stencil, which has gone up in quite a few places around Sheffield. This was on Sharrowvale Road
Distant, but fantastic to see my first male Red Backed Shrike at Cley Marshes Nature Reserve. Apologies for the background noise of a plane, people and the breezy weather.

A car park in the Haymarket area of Edinburgh that I had no idea existed until earlier this week. I'd never seen a sign like this before, and it was just a shame there were no older vehicles there to make the discovery that bit more interesting.
After filling the spur to Escue Wood Preserving in Millwood, local CC1 starts its way back east to Cecilia. They packed the track full with the three cars they brought here including leaving one tied down across the road just short of the derail.
Our short chase west following this local was an enjoyable time and certainly left hopes for a return trip to the PAL. With rain moving in and plans to chase the WTNN the next morning, we broke off after this location and proceeded on our way across western Kentucky.
the gristone outcrop of Back Tor is an impressive jumble of rocks situated at the northen end of the derwent edges where they run into the howden moors. It's typical dark peak country: boggy moorland, pools, rocks, and a great feeling of wilderness...
