Great shots! Was almost tempted to pull out the old K-1000 this week ..... almost. If I did, I sure as heck don't know who'd process the film. LoL.
Well done.

As I learned, it is hard to go back to the old tools.

Thanks, but shooting all this week using an old point and shoot (p&s) to show the kids what can be done with a simple camera is hard! We forget how spoiled we are with dslr's.Nice portrait
Even more exciting is that I have 3 more weeks to go. I don't figure I can tell the kids during the class that they too can make nice photos with their p&s and then pick up my multi thousand dollar equipment.

It was a P&S that got me into DSLR's
I was told that what I was doing with my P&S was really good, so I naturally went the next step. There is nothing wrong with most P&S cameras. They had reasonable zoom and mp value. It's the person behind the P&S that makes all the difference It's the person behind the P&S that makes all the difference
The hardest part is that DOF is huge and that most or nearly all functions have to be dug up in a menu. The quality is not bad and I'm shooting with a very old P&S. Keeps you on your toes!
Day 157 - Star Party
All this week I have been attending an astronomy class with Wendy. To conclude the class we did a star party (in the city unfortunately) with our new telescopes Orion SkyQuest XT6. Surprisingly, this ~$300 telescope is amazing capable. For the first time I viewed the rings of Saturn with my eyes. Watched the moons of Jupiter as they orbited the planet and could see the bands on the planet. As for the moon, I think I could see a quarter that fell out of one of the astronauts pockets. It was truly an amazing evening. Next... I want to look into mounting my camera to the telescope.

It's the Monarchs that like them over here. We get a lot of milkweed in the local fields. I have a couple of plants that I am keeping a good eye on. I've seen Monarch caterpillars on them but not a chrysalis as yet so I figure they must just all get eaten. It's years since I ve seen a chrysalis and there seem to be so few caterpillars about these days compared to when I was a kid. Too much pesticide use I'd guess
