That is what I as commenting on. The hole watching movies for 14 years trying to learn some stuff. I noticed that I can pick out a thing or two by watching movies. Sometimes useful, sometimes not.

Best luck!

Hi Gabriel,

I think this method is time consuming and slow learning. Anyway it is fun to watching movies as part of my job description. ;-)

Do you use filters on your camera? Or do you just do it all in post?

Nice work!

Hi Gabriel,

Thanks

Glad that you like it. ;-)

I always put a uv filter to protect the lense as I am not good at maintain the cleaness of my lense. I know it will degrade the quality of the picture. But I don't care that much. All photos are touched in post to reduce the size and most times to add color ;-) i.e. change the curve of the photo. I know that I should wait the right time to take the photo, but I sorts of lack of time. Time is simply not enough.

Regards
Leigh

Wow Leigh, Congrats!

Man, I just love those NZ trees you guys have!

Nice stuff!
~Gabriel

Hi Gabriel,

Thanks

I am amazed about these trees too. ;-)

New Zealad is a great place to visit ;-) There are lots of scene to visit. Plus the tourist cost is cheaper than USA. You will get better feeling if you spend one us dollar in NZ as one NZ dollar is just around 0.69 US dollar. ;-) Of course petrol price is dear here in NZ than in usa.

Me too

But the time to take sunrise image is too short. Several seconds delay, the moment is gone. I wish that period could be little longer.

Haha, its not bad! How did you get the bug on the lens?

~Gabriel

Hi Gabriel,

Trade secret ;-) Just kidding

The bug was not on the lens. Otherwise I can't focus on the bug. The bug was on the window glass live ;-) I just saw the bug while I was eating my breakfast yesterday. I thought that I never shoot like I proposed in the image before. It must be cool to show some dark evil lord wearing some fancy clothes. So I bring my 50 mm still photography lens reverse handheld mount to put in front of my nv-gs400 lens. I tried to bring 12x zoom, but this way the composition is really bad, it did not show the whole bug, only the head. That does not meet my imagination. So I just zoom a little bit to get the whole bug image. My hand shaked too much, so the bug was not clearly focused which cause the image lack of some sorts power. The good thing is the bug was outside of the room and I was in the room, so I did not need to worry about the lighting.

Regards
Leigh

Do you mean a bag? To protect my nv-gs400 camera, I use a supermarket plastic shopping bag which is basic free. ;-) And I carry it with another second hand leather bag which I bought from auction and I put some foam in the bag to offer some shock absorber. I store my camera in dark cool place and always put the lens cap on if I don't use it.

Leigh

Nice shots Leigh! I love the moon over the house, its very bright!
