Also, amazing that somebody would abandon a structure like this.

Probably already mentioned in this thread, but do check out http://www.derelictplaces.co.uk/

It has a very big community and the whole subject is fascinating. Fits in completely with the whole Hauntology theme, which I dig a lot.

welp i did it, ordered a new telescope and mount. Right now I have the camera set up outside on the tripod taking a picture of the night at 30 second intervals. In a few hours I'll try and put the shots together and make a video out of it. Always wanted to do that
Got more moon shots earlier, still have to go through them

[andyman]

One from tonight, made it greyscale instead of color. I think it turned out better this way

Trippy shit man. You should try and go somewhere where there is very little light pollution like way up on a hill or something and see if you can't snag a more detailed shot.

[andyman]

Thanks, I plan to do it soon.. and some place with less airplanes! If I was closer to any mountains I'd definitely head up there

[andyman]

Little bit tighter crop tonight for more detail. The mosquitos tonight were no f'ing joke... over the next week the moon will be directly overhead later on in the night, around 2200ish and when it's full it will be overhead around 0200 but I'm going to try to get pictures of it every night for the next couple weeks to have a full cycle in the books, just for the hey of it. With any luck, the new telescope will be here when the moon is full.

Damn that's super cool man... I wanna try this now I have lots of mountains where I live too so I could probably get some decent shots... *adds to todo list*

Nice post andyman ~ Posted: 05-08-2011 03:15 PM

I miss the moon like that and all the light pollution about

I remember years ago out in the sticks (Aussie for in the bush far from any civilization, and there wasn't that many people about then) you could see the moon just like that.... those were the days....

[Yeahso]

Wait, so Yeahso = sysop? haha, shows how much I keep up to date with this forum now.

Superb shots sir, really in a class of their own in this thread. Hope all is good

lol, yeah, 'tis me, all is well, thanks a lot for asking.

Glad you like the shots, man.

Really great moon shot. Nice work.

[andyman]

thx, more to come!

[andyman]

little tighter still... i don't think this one came out as clear as the last. focusing with the scope is hit or miss



I'm trying to play with it in photoshop and it's coming out much clearer, just have to toy with it some more. That one above wasn't edited in PS

[Yeahso]

Went away with my girlfriend some weekends ago, and on the drive back we saw a sign for a monkey sanctuary. Took this photo of a seriously depressed monkey. They were all like this.

I also witnessed a monkey-rape, and photographed that as well, which I will also upload, in time...

[andyman]

that monkey looks sad... also beat up




moon is getting bigger, still toying with adjustment settings. My friend said he can get me photoshop for free, that'd be nice.

Nice moon photos andy.

A storm just rolled by a few minutes ago, and I shot a few pics:

[andyman]

holy crap man that is badass... i like the lightning one a lot, would make a cool shirt

[werldhed]

Heh... thanks. I caught that lightning while just snapping with a handheld p/s. Pure chance that a big bolt flashed at that second. It was a huge lightning strike, but I only caught the trailing end of it.

Unfortunately, I wasn't trying to catch the lightning, so my camera wasn't set up for it. That's why it's a lot brighter than the first pic.

[shaft]

Thats the same one that rolled past my place.

[andyman]

That's a trippy storm...

[Yeahso]

Whoa, those clouds are seriously weird. Amazing moon shots, Andy.

Mammatus clouds.
