Photographing the moon

This weekend the moon is apparently going to be the closest to the Earth for a long time. So, I decided to try photographing it for my mostly365.com participation, this is day 26.

Using my Canon 1000d equipped with a Canon EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS I took a few shots. First one was just a white circle in the sky, so I adjusted the settings on camera and I ended up with this.

I cropped it and edited the curves a little using Pixelmator. All in all I am pretty pleased with how it turned out :)

The Sun...no wait that's not right

Projecting light

I recently read an article about projecting light to creatively light up a subject. So I thought I would give this ago.

I had limited time to try this but here are my first few attempts using different bottles. The first one was out of focus but was giving me some idea of what I could expect.

This one I tried a different angle, and a different bottle.

There were many other shots which don’t work but I am fairly happy with this one. Due to where I was taking these photos (En-Suite) the angle had to be this way but next time I plan on attempting this head on and with other objects ;)

This one will be my day 25/365 from my mostly365.com participation.

Day 24 of 365

Tonight I made a double chocolate cheesecake which my wife will take into work on Friday, something to do with Red Nose Day, anyway here we have the whisks covered in some of the milk chocolate layer.

It truly is a delicious cheesecake by the way ;)

Camera is BACK!!

As previously mentioned my Canon 1000d camera had developed a red hotspot as shown below which was getting in the way of my mostly365.com participation.

Camera has developed a fault

I emailed Canon about the fault and they said it needed to be sent in for repair and luckily for me the camera was still under warranty. So I boxed it up and sent it off last thursday and waited.

Well, today Canon have returned it. How about that for service :) . I have tested it using the LCD and so far it looks like it’s completely fixed no annoying red dots, I am going to test if further tonight when I take todays mostly365.com shot.
