another shot

since i almost missed the eclipse i decided to take just another go for it

the eclipse

after waiting for half an hour i got a bit tired of waiting so i decided to come back to my room for a while and decided to watch some television show, unfortunately i somehow lost track of time and realized that i stayed down a bit to long and have to hurry up again with my gear and all ..

a much closer look

having set up my gear, i decided to play around with some setting in the menu and managed to see the digital zoom option, i gave it a go and check how it looks and this is what i ended up with...

closer look

the full moon seems to have a different effect on me that night as it entices me to really put mt Olympus digital camera to full test.... using my TCON 17 conversion lens with CLA 10, i managed to get a closer look of the moon surface.. i recon with a few more manipulation of the camera i will be able to take better shots in the future....

full moon indeed




it was really a nice time to give my digital camera a try having purchased my SP-550 UZ some 4 months back, i haven't had the chance to take good subjects with my camera, so the schedule lunar eclipse has afforded me the chance to get some good shot of the full moon

photo trial

the other night i was watching the local news and was surprised to hear that there was a lunar eclipse that will take place, this regular phenomenon has always fascinates me so i thought that i might as well try my few months old digital camera... so i went on our accommodation's roof top and have a shot at the full moon see the attached picture which serve as a photo trial for me
