Guess who I met again last Sunday – but with that ear position, I kept my distance :-).

Another chance to test out the SX1 for Moon photography today – but again, the source images were far away from perfect, because it was not quite dark yet and it took a lot of playing around with filters, brightness and contrast to get this result. This was again stacked from 10 photos.

This is not actually a flower, but an attempt of taking a photo of the wine leaves at night with the re-purposed christmas lights as illumination. Remember, these photos are still from the end of July!

The oak and the birch in the backyard, seen from the entrance.

Another cropped excerpt from a larger image of the geese flying overhead a couple of days ago.

A rosy Rose :-).

Finally a proper chance to test out the SX1 with the Moon – although I have messed this up a bit because I had the camera set to a higher ISO accidentially. I stacked ten of them together with RegiStax and the result is not great, but a good example how HUGE the Moon has now become – the larger zoom and the higher resolution let me get a lot closer now!

Another look down Oberhausen’s Mülheimer Strasse with the church towering in the background. Sadly I didn’t have time to walk over there or I would have taken some closer photos of the church.

Still more night Zinnias… I have so many flower photos left,
I think I can go on posting all the way through until spring!
