I've been wanting to meet Strongman Mike et al for some time as he and I appear to be doing similar work. It seems the bigger names in AP only come to Ilford for the SPSP and I have been living overseas for the last three years so I haven't get a chance to meet them. 
If you are interested in coming up to Ilford any time sooner or later let me know. I posted some pix of my equipment at http://www.iceinspace.com.au/forum/showthread.php?t=65
While my focus (ha ha) is on Cooled Cameras I am really impressed with what can be achieved with DSLR's
Is there anything you can do about the internal reflections? Long term you may find them a bit frustrating. Apart from that great colours and composition. |
Thanks Monte, I like your setup
. Mike was repressed for the weekend because his new camera had just turned up, but he hadn't had a chance to play with it

Not sure what can be done with respect to the reflection, somewhere there must be a cutoff as to exposure and oversaturation of bright objects, the scope is F4 after all. My camera was completely untested and I was stoked to see the colour coming from the test shots. Yes and DSLRs for me are a very satisfying medium, you get "instant" gratification from them, although no where near as good as what you and Mike produce
. I do like to frame my shots, and make the subject a bit more interesting, but I am still learning that trade secret
