Warren,
Thanks!
With the atrocious weather of late, astrophotography has been out of the question. The last image I took was in August, I think. It's driving me nuts having all this new high-end gear and no chance to use it. It's sitting there depreciating in value. Oh, well.
I guess the upshot of all the cloud and rain is that we're getting some darn nice sunsets.
Hope you get a chance to use the DSLR. It'll be a big step up from any old point-and-shoot systems you've been using.

Marc,
Thanks! It's one of those more intimate works, unlike the grand vistas I usually post.

Ian,
I can guarantee the tree is sharp. It had just stopped raining and I had my circular polariser in my pocket. It was actually getting quite dark and so I just slipped the filter on without looking at it. It was quite fogged up. It's helped to diffuse the scene somewhat.

Troy,
Thanks, mate. I'd have included more, but, there was nothing else of interest in the immediate area. Would have completely killed the composition altogether.
Have your filters arrived?

Shane,
Nice pick-up on the 'V'.
Cheers.

Cheers, all.

I cancelled the order of the ones that were holding things up. I've order Hitech ones instead, 3 stop hard GND and a 3 stop reverse GND. I did get a Lee 2 stop soft GND. Seems to be a world-wide shortage of Lee filters.
