Very Nice!
Is this just a young male Bald eagle or another type?

35mm cameras - any demand ?

Posted By Robert Watters
I won't be selling my K1000 any time soon. IMO Digital has a ways to go yet before I will consider that route $$$.
A lot of the guys that are using the higher end digital SLR's are getting pretty nice results but it just seems to be much more work (like 10 fold) in capturing and processing.

I think film will be around for quite some time and will continue to use it for my deep sky astro work.

LX 200 Tracking

Posted By Robert Watters
For such a short exposure (3min.) it looks more like vibration or influence from another source like wind or a dew heater kicking on and off. Unless the worm spins at more than 1 RPM (highly unlikely, more like 3-6min.) it seems to have too many "highs to lows" to be PE, unless it is showing the PE training that may have been set at a lower focal length.

Just some thoughts, hope it helps.

Thanks for the comments guys. This shot was one of the few days that we've had any snow in northern IL. Didn't amount to much either, the ground is still bare.

Eagle

Posted By Robert Watters
Another one, this one was out a ways further so it is one step into digital zoom on the G3, full frame with no vignetting.
