The Photo Thread!!!

[Plasnart]

My very first outdoor photo with the new camera. I reckon I should get better once more familiar with the camera, but nevertheless was pretty pleased with it. As shot other than a minor crop. Can anyone tell me what sort of boat/craft it is, I have no idea of it's purpose.

Well that appears down near queenscliff. Booms indicate fishing vessel (prawner?) but bargy hull doesnt match. Thats a weird one mate. No trawlers in port phillip since the scallopers were banned (and they didnt use booms). Also thought channel netting was now banned. Good question!

Have been playing around with Astrophotography lately & have had some good results so decided to to have a go at a multiple photo image. This one is 24 individual photos stitched together to form one image. The pic is a 180 degree view(NE - SW) from the lookout above my home town. The Moon was about 1/4 & lit up the ground.

The program I used to stitch them was Microsoft ICE (Image Composite Editor). The program can also capture panoramic images from video similar to the way some Smartphones capture panoramas(and it`s free).

Each photo was a 30 second exposure at f3.5 & 3200 ISO.

Naaahhh, they actually like each other's company too much..Common around here.

This Rosenberg's Monitor was just by their run two yrs back after a big wet period, must have come down from rough country up behind(followed the creek down).
Only saw this one once and think odds may have been different.

I have a monitor, but I think it`s a different breed to the ones you have @Bidja .

Have read there are 26 recognised species of goanna or monitor lizards in Australia. It is said the Rosenberg's are ground dwelling but sightings of these are also reported in the Namadgi Nat Park hanging out up a tree. Reported as vulnerable in NSW.
