I caught the bug in 2014. I'm on a steep learning curve and take the camera with me everywhere I go - to work, random drives deep into farm country, wherever. My equipment is a Canon 70D with an image-stablized (IS) 18-55mm lens and a 55-250mm IS lens. I have a heavy duty tripod and monopod. I use Photoshop for cropping and minor touch ups, and Canon's utilities to compensate for the lens' characteristics. I plan on slowly acquiring various accessories as I grow into the hobby, much as I did for the astronomy hobby. I also have an adapter to connect my camera to my large refractor telescope, which is essentially an 820mm f8 lens. My other "camera" is my LG G3 smartphone with a 13 mp sensor. I'd like to hear about your gear, see your shots and discuss tips, tricks, and knowledge. My camera attached to the refractor via a T-ring adapter.

I was looking for decrepit or abandoned buildings and landscapes. I like black and white as a medium.

I miss 35mm but digital is nice for instant results. This first picture has you in mind Astronomer. I took it in December of 2007. Something caught my eye in the night sky so I took a 20 second exposure of the stars with my camera balanced on a fence post. The end result is a small smudge that turned out to be comet Holmes and I've added an arrow so you can see it. Here are just some random shots that I took over the last few years. reddog955i, Trasheur123, Merlin007 and 18 others 21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

Nobody remembers now what it's like to develop, fix, and print pictures from film, but it still brings back a passion. Still have my dad's old Argus 35mm. Have to scan some prints take by it, but here's a few pix I took w/a vivitar 2.3mp while we worked in AK. Always fascinated with piping & horizon shots. That's me, wedged between crude lines.
