I'm back - so what do you do when you are on holidays with the family.....

[h0ughy]

Yes thats right, you take astrophotos:thumbsup: :thumbsup: ............................... and the kids, birds, water, and all things holidayish.:D :)

in this eclectic mix there was me trying to get a shot of the sunset, evening star venus, the crescent moon in the morning (the wife had pups when I said at 4am I was going to go to Fingal bay to take some photos), got the moon with mars and Jupiter, some smoke, even a pelican for striker, some evening shots to try and get the thin crescent moon and venus, but the low horizon cloud beat me on that count and the last night, the crescent new moon and Nelson bay.

had a great time, next time I will take family photos:rofl: :whistle: ;)

oh and I snuck a dolphin in too

[h0ughy]

and following on

I tried to get artsy and take the reflection of the crescent moon off the surf life saving clock tower at fingal bay SLSC on the Tuesday morning........bugger didn't work

I did. look at the second last image. I am trying to covince myself I have actually captured a very ultra thin crescent moon and venus. But I am not that convincing withmyself, just wishfull thinking. SNP said it would be there..........:P :screwy:

Hey H0ughy

You’re back. The H0ugh returns! I wondered why my on-line life had been, well…..so hollow, bleak, dull and empty the last few days.

Great set of photo’s and glad you and the family had a lovely time.

Wishing you and your loved ones a very Happy Xmas and a Peaceful & Prosperous New Year.

Dennis
