Ravages of time really show here – Collected these leaves 2 weeks ago to compose a colour collage for the previous challenge. Using a collection of old clock faces and gears from a still life kit make this collage more interesting. 2 point lighting with LED flood lights. 100 mm macro lens at f/8 on a tripod. Camera at ISO 800 – Sharpened and denoised in Photoshop Camera Raw. Histogram normalized with Photoshop Levels tool
Got a shot of the comet today (Oct 14). Processed in Photoshop Camera Raw, multiple sliders. 10 sec, f/8, ISO 800, taken with a 100-500mm zoom at 100mm. Star trails are noticeable.
This was a 2.5 sec, f/5, ISO 800 exposure that was quite dark and had to exposure pushed. The 2.5 second exposure has less star trail but the higher contrast loses some quality in the light transition from bright to dark.
Way to go Henri. And thanks for sharing your settings for those u
s us still trying to capture the elusive comet.
Well done, Henri! Thanks for sharing all of this. Joe and I tried earlier in the week when we heard it was possible (on the 12th) but there was no success. We might try again this week……it is suppose to visible again tomorrow and the next night, I think.
The hardest part was locating the comet. It is quite faint for the naked eye. I used binoculars to find it, and even then it was somewhat faint. Once I knew the location I could point my lens in the general direction (at 100mm zoom) and up the ISO to 6400, then it really showed up on live view (at 5 sec, f/5). After that I refined the settings for good quality ISO 800, 2.5 Sec, f/5)

Gorgeous landscape Paul. I love the mist, and the leading lines of the fallen trees.
A mystical shot…

Wow, a bunch of gorgeous photos in this section!
I wanted to practise asking people if I can take their picture. I’m very shy about asking. I prefer street photography where I don’t ask, because I’m not that interested in posed photos and I like to capture facial expressions. Inside a business, the owner or manager has to give permission if you don’t want to ask people.
My husband and I went to the grad lounge at the U of C, where he spent a lot of money in the ’70s. I was struck by the diversity of this group, so I asked them if I could take their photo with my Ricoh, not for social media! It’s so tiny, I always have it in my purse. They are all grad students in quantum computing. I looked it up and still have no clear idea what that is.
ISO 6400 (very dim in the lounge), 40 mm, f/2.8, 1/30 s
