Title: Mars, Venus, Mercury at sunset
Post by: Kenny on Jan 17, 2015, 03:35:10
Taken from just outside Stonehaven on my way in. I don't think I spent enough time playing with the camera settings to get the best picture - I was in a bit of a rush to get to Dunnottar. Canon 450D, 8 secs at 18mm, f/11, ISO-400. Wish I had zoomed in a bit.

Well done, I wondered who was going to get that.

There's certainly no stopping you now - are you on Duracells ?

Ha ha. Kind of. I bought a new Duracel camera battery for the DSLR.  :lol:

It does feel like in the last 6-8 weeks my 'hobby' has exploded in about a dozen different directions. Very steep learning curve as a result.
