    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Normally I try to stay under 800, and lower if possible. But I had just stepped outside, and didn't have the tripod. Actually never ran the ISO at max before. Worked OK.

Yes great thread and thanks very much for starting it. I don't comment on the fabulous photos posted here as much as I should but the overall quality of photos here from everyone is absolutely stunning.
 
The pics just posted are a consolation prize, and just filler while I was waiting for the moon. I was all set and waiting when a distant voice yelled "park's closed, if you dont move your cars, the gates will be locked and you'll be stuck until morning".
I moved the car and tried to find..... somewhere without luck. As I searched, a beautiful bright moon popped out from the clouds and made a wide perfect reflection on the lake. Then it disappeared into thick clouds for the night. I missed the moment.

I should have rode the cycle. I could have went around the gate as I have done many times in the past.
 
Just looked at this thread a couple of days back. I have a random photo it's one I took a about three years back.
I was standing on the back deck of a ship in the Kara Sea way up North just happened to have a camera in my hand and saw these flashes on the horizon. I knew that were no other vessels around that far North and by the time I had made it to the side of the ship realised what I was seeing the best of it was over but still snapped a couple of shots off. I've never seen a 'Green flash' only heard about them in a conversation about twenty years before.

Just to say that there are some amazing and stunning photos in this thread. What a good idea it is. Thanks to Marvinsc for coming up with it
