A Spitfire was doing a tour of some Rolls Royce factories in East Kilbride and Inchinnan yesterday. Thanks to a tip from a mate who works at the airport I managed to snag some shots from a hill overlooking the airport and RR Inchinnan.

The Ceramic Poppies look spectacular in your photo thenry. I am looking forward to receiving the ones I have bought in remembrance of the members of my family who died in the war.

Had to go over to Brighton today to see a client, went by train (Car's US at the moment) and then yomped it from the main station up Elm Grove to above the racecourse (Kemptown) :breathless: and this was the view:

Client is in factory below reached by a 300 step stair. Easy on the way down. Going back up was a different proposition.

Curiously it's the bulblet that budded off from the one in front but it always seems to produce its leaves first.

Taken on a D5600, f/5.6, ISO-6400 Shutter 1/5. In Night Mode Scene option

Had to use new software to compress from NEF, output is smaller than it said.

Try lowering the ISO with much longer exposure. With a tripod if poss.

Here's an example of a long night time exposure I took a few years ago. (1988) Something like 30 seconds, F5.6 and 400 ASA film. Tripod with remote cable release. Note the stars in the sky are as small streaks:

https://www.cableforum.uk/board/atta...7&d=1548148544

Subject is Sennen Cove, Cornwall. Unfortunately fast film tends to be a bit grainy. Something that digital photography does improve on.

Just so I'm not completely destroying this thread.
I tried some moon photography (not of the blood moon) - but with pretty crappy results.

If you can wedge the camera onto the shot you want, set a 3sec timer so you don't move the camera when you press the shutter button. Do this with a tripod as well. Or get one of those cheapo shutter remotes which works great.

I'll start with his one from Iceland, Gullfoss Falls.

I couldn't quite stand where you were, but I wanted one of the rainbow. November 2015 and it was bitterly cold. Cold like I had never felt before, hard to describe but it was like the cold equivalent to the heat in Death Valley :confused:.

Fascinating Photos Cobby.

A tad random, and certainly not linked to the conditions shown in the photo, but the first one brought to mind your daughter and the photo of her in her wedding gown which has always stayed in my memory.
