I'm jealous of your guys' weather. It's all been shitty over here in Canada. Right now it's freezing rain. It's crappy. I definitely don't want to get my camera fucked with freezing rain and such.

[MrFishcake]

Thanks. This one was all taken within two days. The sets I usually post are from 1-2 days because I am not very patient and bad at selecting.

Tried a Brenizer, got plenty of distortion from my little X10. Still kinda neat though.

Also crazy at 100% crop (despite not quite pegging the focus, no peaking:

Do you have a guide on how to hook a camera to a telescope? I've looked online but never ofund a true beginners guide and I'm just like "ahhh what's all this crap"

I'm probably going home for a week or two - maybe I could finally put some use to that telescope that my dad never used..

This one is nice. I am always a sucker for hard shadows and I like how the picture basicly consists of rectangles (besides the shadow of the tree). The muted colors work well too.

I feel like the way I edit my photo's makes them look a bit bland.

Heres an example, Something about it makes it look really flat and boring to me, can somebody give me a few editing tips so it doing look so boring, or is it just a bad picture? I dont know.
