Another moon, taken from outside the front of my house last night.

EF400 f5.6 lens, Canon 5DSR.
1/50 sec f7.1 100 ISO.

Love this! You use convertor on this for that lens?

Time to leave home, in my garden.

No converter used. The 5DSR has 50m pixels, cropping into the image still maintains a good level of detail. Would be interesting to see if a 2x converter would be much better.

Taken in my garden at the weekend looking at the clear skys above Heathrow and Gatwick, this busiest airspace in the world (by some measure). Such a luxury to be able to take star trails without plane lights cutting across!

And the Winner for April 2020 - as if you hadn't guessed is this amazing shot by Rob Dickinson.

Well done and over to you for May's competition.

Not that it really matters. But didn't they have 2 entries and never confirmed which they wanted?

[rst99]

To be fair, I think Rob's first shot might have won anyway

[NormalWisdom]

Darn - Missed this one, only comp I've got decent shots for.

Just seems a little rigged, rule breakers take the win. Just saying....

Probably you shouldn't post rules up if you aren't going to stick to them.

Not a biggy, I know this is only for fun. But does make a bit of a mockery of it all.

[rst99]

No, it's not rigged at all

I made a mistake by letting Rob add a second image and not sticking to the stated rules.

Apologies.

Anyway, let's move on to May.

Really? Jeez

[paul.deitch]

I have no problem with that but I don't understand why PH people love over saturated photos looking like someones acid nightmare!
The old masters didn't need to resort to that to create a great picture.
