Hey Flying_Fox, it's been awhile since you've come around these parts :-) welcome back! You have some good shots here. I like the action in this shot:



Good composition on some of those tall building shots., too. The night shots need a tripod -- they are a bit fuzzy. Again, though, nice composition. Love the shot with the moon in the upper left corner and the sky has a tinge of blue.

I was just checking out your Kennedy Space Center album. Good job getting the launch! Where were you for those launch shots? We were at Jetty Park for the STS-111, but it was postponed at the last minute and our vacation was over before it finally went up.

I was at NASA Causeway 6 miles from launchpad 39 B. Thanks to 8x optical zoom! The real problem was the focusing - launch is too fast to refocus for the next shot, and C-720 does not have a manual focus. So, 20 sec before launch I set the camera to multiple shots mode and focused it on one of the big buildings on the horizon (near other launchpads) and turned the camera back to launchpad 39 B. I bet the shot would be better with UZI.

Yeah, with the shutter at 1/2 sec, without a tripod, add to it very windy and gusty conditions. I was placing camera atop of objects like a garbage can. :)

No, those are different pictures taken almost at the same time while I was walking along the Navy Pier.

I'm wondering if Chicago_night1 is a crop from Chicago_night2 or
just higher zoom?
