It was hot, humid, windy & the seeing was poor........
.......but I loved it!
Hi all.
I have not had a session for over a month so when I awoke & it was clear I set up in record time for a morning session. The Sun is in an awkward spot for me at the moment so I was perched on one of the benches out the front - not the leisurely spot on the back deck. I used my usual imaging kit - LS60 & DMK51 - I did have to play with the settings to get a good pic on the screen - exp 1/182, Gamma 45 & 231(for the proms) plus a bit of Gain - I suspect there was some funk in the sky.
I hope everyone else gets a Sunnyday.
