A photo montage of a recent ISS flyover. Tech: 800/5.6, 1/1600s ISO800. Maximum elevation angle was 60 degrees, and there is no motion blur.



It looks much cooler as an animated GIF, tho...

The constellation Cygnus is in a favorable position now, and I took some interesting images of the galactic plane using my normal and wide-angle lenses- here are 100% crops.

Beautiful, Andy - I especially like the second one, it's so sparkly.

Afraid I don't have enough imagination to see the goose though :redface:.

Thanks,but it was the sunset in the 2nd picture so I think it should be called "fare away sun" or something like that :p

Thanks, guys. You can't see the constellation because it greatly overfills the frame using either the 85mm or 400mm; the brightest star in the 15mm is Deneb. The 400mm shows NGC 6910 while the 85mm is near HD 193702.

On Saturday I went biking - and saw these people:

EMT_training2.jpg


Nothing extraordinary, but berkeman was on the EMT shift during SWAT competition, or he was training as a part of this competition, or he was doing both at the same time - so it was hard to not think about him :smile:
