October is the start of Autumn for me as part of the Official Photographer Team for the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta. Instead of trees, leaves, etc. I'm taking photos of hot air balloons. 🤣😂

Camera nerd interlude: First outings done for this OM1ii with the 40-150 2.8 plus a 1.4 TC
A joy to use, fits in a tiny satchel bag and weighs next to nothing

Thank you. The OM1ii has a clever pro capture setting. The problem with the Hummer is getting the speed right, usually I Use 1/6400 sec - not fast enough. 1/8000 a bit better so tried 1/10,000. If another visits I'll go even faster and HOPE!

That happened to hubby & myself long ago with his sister and her hubby near Castle Howard. Don't think it was Perseids though. No matter, it was wonderful and I'm pleased you saw them. Hope to put OM1ii out tonight for 999 shots

Trapped last night and used the TG5 for photos using the stacking method. Will try single shot next time. It's not as good as the OM1ii & 60mm lens of course, wouldn't expect it to be, but the TG8 could be worth trying.

Thank you, clever OM1ii did the job and Nut the Sky Goddess kept the sky clear until he could. There are a couple more possible clear nights so he'll be out playing again.

I'm planning to trap tonight unless it's clear in which case attempts to capture shots of Perseids will be priority. I use OM1ii and 60mm lens for moth photos but will play with the old TG5 too which I haven't done before. Could be interesting and if TG8 has enough improvements...

080826 OM1ii @sjbastro.bsky.social @davidbflower.bsky.social Did I get one? 01.34. There were lots of trails but they were obviously satellites. This was near the end of the 990 image time lapse. Note to self, stay awake an hour longer and start the process later.

Expecting clear skies tonight so I'll be setting up OM1ii for maximum time lapse.

It does both but what I think I'll do is set the little TG5 to trails and the OM1ii to the full 999 individual shots. Not sure it can manage 15 secs, though, I'll have to play. Maybe put the little light pollution filter on too, I've convinced myself OM1ii can see more stars with it than without...

The beginning was Joy showing me a shot of a blade of grass and then my photo of the Bee's face with a basic Olympus Point & Shoot. This year for the first time I raised Painted Ladies. Still hopelessly hooked on insect macro. Thank you, Joy, at 7.30 pm 5 Aug 2005
