Really interesting shots, George. The first shot actually took my breath away. Everything just works perfectly: colour, contrast and composition. Thanks for posting.

So did Jimmy Stewart in 'Rear Window'. :-D

It's not just about being sharp. It's about capturing more detail and reducing noise. The "seeing" is one of the most important variables in shooting astronomical objects. This is available in Affi ...

What mount adapter are you using? I have the same lens but can't seem to get an Exacta to Sigma SA adapter. I have a perfectly adequate Fujifilm adapter.

An exceptional shot, Baobob. One of your best. Hand held?

It's a beautiful scene and I'd like to see it without the T&O mode just to make the comparison. I really think you could improve the composition by cropping out the bushes on the left. They are so ...

Wow! Nice bit of serendipity, Steve!

... are getting very ripe now... If they were fruit ... ... we could eat them. Yum!

I gave it a tick, Mike. :-D It's quite an impressive piece, and I can see that a lot of work went into it. The only thing that bothers me is the haloing around the mountains. I can't tell if they ...

Colour. Mostly because of the lovely cloud colours. It's a nicely composed shot and looks regardless of B&W or colour.

Just gorgeous!
