Handheld with support, Canon 300D 55-200mm lens at 200mm, 200ISO, about 1/4s at whatever the camera decided the lens should be on 'P' (Program).
A desperate attempt to be first for once!!!
(Second image is labelled in case Mercury can't be seen in this size file.)
Phew! Did I get in b4 anyone else?!?
Great shot Mike, hope you don't mind me adding my shot of the Moon et al to your thread. I just got home in Winmalee and spied the threesome near the corner of the house. Raced inside to get the 350D but needed the card and lens which were somewhere around the house so I grabbed my Contax P & S and put it on the tripod. The shot was taken at 6.55 p.m. about 1 sec exposure so you just beat me to it. Great evening here, must be around 20 C but the mozzies are bad.
Nice shots.
Just came in after showing the family the Moon etc.
Here is my shot, with my fuji s5500 on auto. Took about 100 shots some ok. Here on of the better.
Looked great with cloud (hopefully rain) coming in.
Great shots guys, this one that I got with a Canon Powershot A400
Got few more but haven't seen if I had anything better yet. Took a shot with alchemy as well but I will have to wait until I get it developed... bring on the 400D
After missing yesterday's event I decided to take the trip up to the top of the hill at Mapleton and cross the fingers. And lo and behold the cloud parted
A range of lenses and settings from 25mm ISO100 "P" settings to 600 mm ISO 200 and gradually upping the exposure to around 2.5 sec to finally 90mm ISO400 up to around 13 sec exposure. Even picked up Jupiters moons in the last to
Excellent shots guys, Paul in awe of your work mate great image scale.
I wonder if I can get the imagescale on my A610 if i go for a zoom lense add on.
Here are my humble entries for the day.
My last one if you zoom in for a look shows the 3 small objects near (right and up) Jupiter, are these Moons?
If so what are there names?
I see these in Paul's shots more clearly as mine was a 10s exposure and his is a 13sec.
