Well thanks for the responses. And I realize the 'my own flair' part makes no sense. I was typing it right before I left work. I'd like to clearly add my own flair but since that's clearly going nowhere, I wanted some suggestions. No big deal, no worries. Thanks anyway, everyone. Edit: Also...

I know this is silly but it'd be greatly helpful. I'm in grad school for astrophysics AND have a full time job in an office (media). The office is amazing, the people are great. I've been here for about 8 months now. One of the most liked co-workers is moving and leaving us (she just got engaged...

Thanks. For the first shot, just me holding the camera (no tripod) with an 18-55 lens. Second pic, Nikkor 50mm f/1.8 lens with a neutral density filter - no tripod. Third pic, 18-55 lens, pol filter + UV, tripod and colour select setting. Fourth pic, same as above. Fifth pic, Nikkor...

I agree. Tesla is my favourite too. He was a national hero in my country and though I live in Canada now, I still admire him a great deal.

Kitty Pryde (adopted at 7 months old. Owners didn't want her anymore) Gandalf (adopted at 5 years old - he's 12 now - owners didn't want him anymore because they were having a baby. They scheduled to euthanize him because he was 'too old for adoption'. He was only 5 years old so that...

My friendly kindly posed for me in this one: My apartment! Meet Gandalf, my kitty and boss

You remind me of the babe... (I hope this counts)

This is awful...yet not surprising. We're headed in the Idiocracy direction.

Heh my mom :) Croatian genetics, what can I say?

Nice :) I took a pic of my brother in the exact same spot there last year http://a4.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/302104_10150347361449974_1282196_n.jpg

Thank you :)

Sounds good...for when I have the time. I can barely get a breather with my studies, job AND internship right now :/ I always wanted to try it but browsing endless forums ... well, let's just say I went ADD after 5 seconds. I did figure I'd need a different mount. Which I can't even afford right...

Thank you :) Everyone's asking me how I'm feeling - doesn't even feel any different as it's right back to school in Sept. Plus I'm doing an internship at TRIUMF. Seriously, it's like nothing changed. ETA: I just messaged someone else, but would it be possible to change my username to...

Hah sure thing ;) Nah that's my little brother (who just aced Science Fair!), my mother (chemical engineer), me and stepdad (also chem eng). Science fam through and through.

I just bought a Nikon D5100. I have an 18-55, 55-200 and a NIKKOR AF-S 50mm f/1.8 Lens. What else do I need? Can anyone give me any advice? I've only practiced at our local observatory but that was much easier. I'd like to do some astrophotography without the use of a telescope. Any advice would...
