Cloudy here for the last couple of nights, and looks like continuing into the weekend. But I did have a practise a few nights ago. I'm resigned to being limited to off-the-tripod shooting with Canon 400D, and I've only got the 18-55mm kit lens. However, I'm reasonably pleased with the scale I can get shooting at 55mm - the 10.1 mpixels helps! Scale should suit a composite. Try as I might, I couldn't get better focus manually than with autofocus, so I'll stick to that even though it's not perfect (but it might be as perfect as you can get it?).
Have attached the following, all shot at ISO 200, with various F stops & exposures. Cloud came in and ruined further 'practise', before I could try ISO 100 and other settings. New camera, and I really need the practise!!
Cheers -
