Waning Moon, Clearing Sky
« Previous Main Next »
We're in monsoon season and the sky has been a crap shoot.
Just moments ago I made this image with my old Nikon 5000, just to see if the little guy was still working.
It is!
The Nikon 5000 is a 5 megapixel camera that performs pretty well, and doesn't break your wrist when it's being hand held up to the eyepiece. It has Noise reduction, and a twist around screen that is really convenient for shooting afocal.
I should probably use it more, but that darn D70 is always sitting on the table ready to go out and play while the little 5000 sits in it's case on the shelf.
Hopefully, the sky will remain clear and I can get back in the groove of posting more often.

I'm impressed with the handheld quality of the shot. The old Nikon does a good job for you.
We seem to gets many cloudy nights around here. A visitor to my blog was commenting on how many gray skies are in my pictures. No wonder! :-)

2. the never-ending cover of cloud that seems to cover this bloody country!!
