Ok,friends. I'm doing two things I've never tried. Shooting RAW, and then converting to post here. And, shooting the moon. All the way home from work I saw that big bright moon and told myself to try it. So, here it is. Can you post RAW pictures here? I wasn't sure because the file size is HUGE!

No you can't post RAW images as browsers cant display them. You can only post jpeg, gif, png I think.

The moon shots look out of focus. Were you using auto or manual focus?

Re: Weebee's 365 thread

There was a very light fog out that was causing me issues. That was the best I could get in either manual or auto focus.

Yep! I found that out too! Cannot get good crisp photos of the moon if the sky isn't nearly 100% crystal clear.

Very good shots of the moon. Can you post your EXIF information? I am still trying to get a good shot of the moon. Thanks

I notice you have a battery grip on a d3100. How do you like it?

I like it very much. It's adds more room for you to hold onto the camera and adds stability. It's a Bower model#XBGN5100. Very nice. And it has a IR remote for remote shutter control.

As some of you may remember. I bought a Lowepro slingshot 101. Bad idea! Way too small for my needs. Today,my slingshot 302aw arrived. Much better. Plenty of room. I like how it swivels around to allow you easy use of grabbing your camera. I have my Tamron 18-200mm mounted on my camera and it fits just fine. I can also have my 300mm on the camera with no problem as well. Good buy at around 80.00 and I recommend it.

Re: Weebee's 365 thread

I picked up the 202AW and was thinking about returning it and ordering the 302AW online or maybe the kata 33 but then I picked it up with the stuff I could fit in it and realized I'm a wuss and if it was much heavier I just wouldn't want to carry it so stuck with the 202. 302 looks nice and roomy Congrats

I was looking at the 202aw as well. But I wanted to make sure I had plenty of room. I have a smaller pack I'll use if I'm going on longer hikes.

Anybody remember these radios? I had one as a kid. Now I pick them up if the price is right.

My new quick release system came in. Now my tripod and mono-pod have the same set up for easy switching.

Nice kit. Built solid. What do you have?

Re: Weebee's 365 thread

I have an old tripod that needs a service I think. I tried some HDR the other day and the photos didn't quite line up so I think it needs a bit of tightening or to be sold and replaced (best option) but I am low on money!
