Forecasts look good for Sun/Mon/Tue so you can make up for it Dave ;)

Hey Dave

I really like this one – it has an Ant-like quality about it that we normally don’t see, so the grass level perspective works for me!:)

You may have ushered in a new genre of astro photography with this revolutionary, low down technique!:whistle:

Cheers

Dennis

cant get too much lower;)

[h0ughy]

hope we can Mike;)

i also downloaded a program to extract the exif data - which i edited and posted in the thread. i deleated a lot of data out of it and just left a few lines as shown ^^^^^

I really like this photo, something about the grass combined with the movement of the trees next door, together with the planets and stars.
I dunno feels grounded, yet free at the same time. It's an entirely new perspective.

Awesome

Great fence Dave!:poke:

I like it! Everything from the grass roots up! Earth to sky so to speak. Very arty!:thumbsup:

Could start a new trend in very, very short tripods:P.

:)

i had actually though of doing this need the lake edge - risky business!! :scared: might try it with the Pentax - it least it has seals:D

[h0ughy]

thanks Mombat:thumbsup:

Nice pic Dave.
Looks like you stood still for this one for the duration of the exposure. :whistle:

[StephenM]

Like others have said, I like the perspective!
Nice one Dave!

[h0ughy]

you mean like these ones:lol:

[Mombat]

Lmao in the first one it looks like the lights are flipping you the little bird.
How immature of me to notice that.
Looks like the old Bipod is a little unstable to me. :P

David,

That is a brilliant photograph. Just needs to be straightened, a little bit. :P

I look forward to grabbing the trio on the evening of the 1st from Sydney.

one could say that I have achieve " Natural Perspectives" within the shot, and others will say the camera was on the lean - either way i blame the ground it was on LOL

[Octane]

David,

You could also contend that the camera was mounted on a German equatorial mount. Think, Paramount ME for pixies. :P

Humayun
