I watched the moon for a long time last night from the comfort and warmth of my window seat. It was awesome!

Thanks Bob for sharing that pic! Mind if I borrow it as a desktop background?

It was completely overcast for us. We were really disappointed.

They say out on the prarie you can see the milky way, might want to head that direction.

I like film but I already know my next camera is going to a digital SLR.The prices are more reasonable than they were. Nearly every image I make these days is heading for the web or email.

It's pretty crappy for getting night sky shots here too since I'm in the city.

One of these days... I'm hoping early next fall, we're going to take an overnight trip out of the city, once you get out of KC there's not another large city for hundreds of miles to the east so I'm hoping we can find a good spot 100 or so miles out if not more, that we can really get a good view of the night sky. I figured we'd rent a SUV and take the dogs, get out in the...

Thanks.

We had some haze too so it softened everything, we got lucky it cleared up as much as it did. At 7 pm I wasn't sure i would get much more than a dull glow. This part of the country really isn't good for night sky, too many light from cities close by.
I should've dragged the tripod and the film camera out.

That is a beautiful shot Bob!

Though not centered, it doesn't matter, you got stars and I think that is Saturn on the left. The one I found that wasn't centered didn't have anything much showing in the picture to the left, the person was obviously trying to get the stars, but they didn't pick up. Like I said, the aperture had to be closed too much, the camera probably wasn't designed compensate for night photography very well.

I found one on a Google search. But it's a little off centered and the camera's aperture wasn't open enough I think. (Obviously digital as it was up pretty quick so I wouldn't expect it's got an aperture control) as it was a bit too dark on the one edge.

Don't even get me going on photography, Bob. It was one of my first loves.
I'm so old fashioned my favorite camera is a Pentax ME... I loathe auto focus cameras and like the ability to swap lenses...

I have a very good 35mm also, I know what you mean about film.We can chat about photography
some time, if we can get ChrisW to shut up.

I'll have a pic up in about 10 min or 11:30 est

I know... but I have a thing for film. I'm old fashioned. I know digitals are as good, but I just think film is better. I'm crazy, I know... I know...

I've have a halfway decent digi, film will two weeks before the pics come back, and the quality of the digital scans you can get from lab won't be any better for displaying on the net than a digital cam.

Oh my God! The eclipse is soooo cool!

I hope you get some good pictures, Bob. I had film in my camera, but for one it's not digital, and for two, my shutter is sticking. It shouldn't make too much of a difference being it's night and hopefully I didn't move the camera too much to blur it.
I need a new camera... it's just so old it isn't working so well.

Moon over Parma....

We used to sing that one when we'd drive to Parma or Solon when we lived in Cleveland. We couldn't help ourselves
Then of course I couldn't help but singing Cleveland Rocks while driving down I 90 after Dead Man's Curve (the opening credits was shot on I 90 west... I think it was west... right after going by Jacob's Field)
