I like #1 and #4. I think the candle pic would look better if the candle was more toward the bottom of the frame and maybe a little off center.

cheers

I have to agree that #2 is beautifly done. Very charming in all the best ways.

The first 2 are nice. What is with the blurry moon?

HI!

I'm wondering if the blurr of the moon comes from the quality of my lens.

I put my timer to 2sec so the camera won't shake. Maybe I have to put it to 10 sec.

Did you use mirror lockup on the moon shots? If not, that might be the reason for the problem. I really like your candle shot, and your street scene also is nice.

I like the second one. The first one would be nice with a different crop. The moon shots are too blurry.

Hi Jerry!

That's why I love this site.

I know that most Canon had MLU and no, I did not use MLU, because I could'nt find it on mine. Then I sat down, went to each menu and found it in Custom... what the ???? That far. Anyway. I have to wait for the moon to be nice again and try it. Thanks a lot!!!

You are right, Now I see it, I could've cropped it a little bit. Thanks!

Thanks for all comments. It helped me a lot!

Today we had a perfect clear sky here. So I decided to try the moon. It did not came right AGAIN , not sharp enough. Took around 100 pictures of different settings. I think it has to do with my lens. This time I was aware (thanks to DP) that I have to use MLU, and also that sunlight is the WB. Plus, I used a remote control...
