Hey All,
Just thought i would show you a couple of my shots from January this year of Comet McNaught, taken actually with my Old Faithful Minolta XD5 SLR, used print film for all my shots of McNaught as my Pentax 'digi' threw the towel in not long before the comet became visable to us Australia, still it was the first time i had ever taken shots of a comet and although they could be better i was pretty happy with the end result, the prints themselves are actually very nice quality indeed but lost a fair bit when scanning them onto my computer. The sunset shot was about a 20 second exposure and taken looking over the "lookout" over Junee and the other shot was taken through some trees out at Matong about 60 K's west of Junee and it was about a 45 second exposure. Hope you enjoy, as like most of you I'm sure one never gets sick of looking at there photos of this Comet for it truly was somthing to behold. Cheers and Regards.:thumbsup:C501
