Mario! Great connection between 'meteor' and 'metaphor'!
Peter,
How I wish I could get across the Nullarbor again soon. I have yet to witness the western deserts in flower—one of my life-dreams. Sometime in the coming year...
The settings for the moon are 1/160sec at f/8 ISO 100. I never tire of looking at it in this detail. My other life-dream is to own an SLR camera. I have only a regular Canon Powershot digital camera, with little control over settings. The camera does everything automatically, although I have learnt how to adjust a lot of things in manual mode. Still, it's frustrating, when I change one setting and it automatically adjusts another setting, preventing me from getting the effect I would like.
Imagine, if I had an SLR, I would be able to change LENSES!! A wide angle lens, a telephoto lens—these are my dreams!
Your flower is exquisite! I am as keen about photographing flowers as I am about planets and moons and stars. I also absolutely love photographing moving water—waves, waterfalls—and birds—all animals, really.
Lovely to see your photos, Peter. Mario takes incredible photos, too. I follow his blog.
Janice—it was a perfect night for the moon!
