Description


First I need to apologize for this image. I don't have any good editing tools on my computers, I just like taking pictures. I've been using ms paint to reduce the sizes of these pictures and create thumbs, but it really leaves a lot to be desired. As for the capture, it was a tough one too. After trying to zoom in on this lighthouse from the planetarium I decided I couldn't get a good enough shot. So when I was walking around in the planetarium I stopped and used a telescope to manify the image. This isn't as easy as it sounds, it took me a full 40 minutes to properly line up the optics and aim it at the right spot and get the shot to capture. I can't tell you how many pictures I took that were blurred from small movement or of the wrong thing. To make things a little more difficult all of the chairs in the room were bolted to the floor and none of them were anywhere near the telescope, you can get tired of standing in the same position trying to get a shot very easily. If you try this at home you'll come to appreciate this picture just a little more. Enjoy, and may you have better luck than I in recreating such a scene.

Although you had so many difficulties - your result is really fine. It is a little blured, but no matter, with the black area I really had somehow the feeling to look through lens ...

I like this pic. It's far from generic and could have been far worse. Although, after the lengthy narrative.... where is this?
