That was the best out of 80 or so shots; the rest ranged from "it's just there" to "where the **** did it go?!?!"
Had to really push the camera to the limit to get that pic, cos it's a v simple low tech one. Settings: 400ASA, "cloudy", "centre spot metering", and lined up the camera lens with the eyepiece by pushing the lens into half a 35mm film cannister and then placing it against the eyepiece... The view thru the eyepiece was SO much more impressive... I'll have to try simulating it with Photoshop or something. -------------------- |
