moonshot!
Back from a short moon-shooting session! Took about 20 pictures but only one was deemed good enough:
f/11, 1s @ ISO 100, 250mm
And that was after some heavy photoshopping. However, there's a thick red band around the bottom half of the moon that I don't know how to remove. Take a look at the original:
The secret? Unsharp Mask. I swear by it. (Thanks, A.net!)
My 55-250 can produce some decent moonshots but wait till I get my 100-400. I also want a fast, wide-angle-to-general-purpose L-lens. If only Canon would make an f/2.8L 17-85...

a quick update
Oh yay! Photographer's Corner finally says that I have 2 photos in the database! But the photo is still under 'X Y Foo' so Foxy still has 1 photo! Never mind, the most important thing is that I can finally have 5 photos in the queue! Now excuse me as I go upload more photos!

sunsets
I have a whole bunch of sunset shots taken from my bedroom window, but I'm just going to show you 3 for now. As my room faces the west and overlooks the Lower Peirce Reservoir, I get an excellent view and of course a good photography opportunity.
f/11, 1/160 @ ISO 100, 250mm, edited in Photoshop CS2.
I don't have the EXIF info for the other pictures because apparently Fireworks removes it after I resize and save my photos. Next time when I get my laptop, I'm not going to install Fireworks.
My mother went for a morning walk at the park this morning and she told me that the lotuses in the pond were in full bloom and that it was a photography opportunity too good to miss. I already have some composition ideas. I plan to go there in the evening, when the lighting is the best (another time is dawn, but I can never get up so early), and at night.
A.net is taking a very long time to screen my photos. It has been almost a week since I submitted them and there are still over 2000 photos in front of mine. Last time I used to get myrejection emails within a week. I'm kind of anxious because I want to upload my airshow photos before the site gets filled with other people's airshow photos of the same aircraft from the same angle.

Okay to start things off I'll post my latest accepted shot on A.net!
f/11, 1/250 @ ISO 100, 18mm
However, it's not recognised as my photo :( On my Photographer Administration page, it is said that I only have 1 shot in the database, when in fact I have 2. So I can only upload 2 photos at one go instead of 5 (photographers with 2-10 photos in the DB can have 5 pictures in the queue). What's more, the photographer of that shot is still X Y Foo, when I've since changed the name to Foxy. Apparently I'm not the only one with this problem, as can be seen from the forum posts, but it still sucks. I have a whole bunch of photos waiting to be uploaded but I can't because of the bug!
Oh well. I hope A.net sorts things out soon. In the meantime I shall wait for my 2 photos to be screened.
Let me show them to you:
f/11, 1/160 @ ISO 100, 18mm
Click for full size.
And that concludes my first post (not counting the one below) of my photography blog. In future posts, I'll show you people my older photos, and I hope that you can comment on them.
