Another hobby ..

[ZeroID]

I swear I'm gonna have to get another hobby. This non-stop persistent cloud cover is doing my head in. I've just about run out of 'projects' to do and I'm stalled waiting to carry on learning this mono imaging stuff with the new camera. :shrug:

[PCH]

Still doing the e-bikes?

[Boozlefoot]

Aotearoa! :lol:

[Atmos]

Just do regular photography like I do; photograph clouds on all those cloudy days hehe

[Visionary]

Adding insult to injury, there are good for nothing clouds just wispy nonsense.

[xelasnave]

I am in the same boat.

I have stopped work on my observatory box cause I have become demotivated cause of cloud.

When able I plan moving way inland.

Meteorology perhaps.... ;)

[DarkArts]

Make hay while the sun shines, make love when it doesn't ... :question:

[LewisM]

Meh, the Tak and mount can sit it out another spring/summer if need be - if they don't get used, they don't get used. Whatever.

In the meantime, I've got plenty of other things occupying me.

Nephology comes to mind


:cloudy:

[raymo]

As hobby, it sounds more like naffology to me.

A serious nephrologist must be a paraglider pilot - it's really the only way to get your head in the clouds, literally !

I'm taking up nudie runs as a hobby - my next mad dash will be through the ACT Legislative Assembly - will be funny to see Mike Sidonio chasing me through the hallways :P :) See who get's to Andrew Barr's door first :)

Would ya arrest me Mike? :)

[ZeroID]

Haha, nah, I got you guys to entertain me.
I have done photography for the last 40+ years, semi professionally in some cases, motor sports, weddings. The ebike thing comes and goes as customers come and go. Not a big TV fan, prefer practical stuff.
I'll keep busy, just a bit frustrated by it all at present.

[xelasnave]

What about drawing or sculpting.

I find both these very satisfying.

Then there is playing music and if you have never tried it will present a wonderful challenge.

Or collecting gold coins can be fun.

Tackle, anyone?

Best processed as RAW images? Will a field flattener help? :rolleyes:

[LewisM]

You'll need a focal reducer to fit all of me in. Add Mike into the image, and you'll need a hyperstar.

[Wilso]

Maybe a Barlow or two might be required!
😆

[Camelopardalis]

Just as well we don’t need an OAG in the optical train :lol:

[LewisM]

Only during Canberra winters :rofl:

But, you are right - a 3X Barlow for Mike's "equipment" may be required.

[ZeroID]

Well, I nearly fooled the clouds last night with my diversionary 'rant' but they saw me sneak out and managed to fling across a thin cloud screen as soon as I got the camera cooled down. I wondered why there were no stars on the first few frames then I looked up. :rolleyes:

Alex, my artistic skills are limited, I'm a 'Tech' man and drawing plans and diagrams works but anything else is just a waste of time. Musically I used to play guitar but my hands don't work for that anymore and the neighbours would complain soon enough.

Might end up having to do some more housework ... or coming back here to follow the fun. :thumbsup:

Cheers all

[xelasnave]

try the three string cigar box guitar ..its a slide so it does not matter the condition of your hands..but use ear phones.

I might take up the hobby of observation of cloud decks right now.
