The woods at night.

Maybe...a. new project. This was my effort at shooting at night with no illumination other than moonlight - no torches, flash or street lighting at all.

I love the blue light. I hate the fact that focusing, even in manual, is hard. This was shot at 800iso, aperture at 6 and the shutter was open for 2 minutes. Anyone with any ideas as to different settings holler.

@Hinterlands I take a torch for focus - shine it on your 'main' tree and let autofocus do its thing. then turn off autofocus. also check your widest portrait lenses, f4 can be pretty darned sharp on them and save you a minute of shivering and trying not to jog the tripod. my better metering is "boost iso to stupid-grainy high, meter centre-frame, run the numbers and drop iso to lose grain" - olde Sony's max 30s shutter without cable release = stopwatching it by eye :(

The Southern Painted Turtle has a distinctive stripe on its shell which scientists believe makes it go faster

Christmas. Artwork. Mashup. 

You: So, eclectech, have you ever considered combining classic Christmas pop tunes with famous artworks of enormous cultural importance?

Me: Why yes, yes I have. Thank you for asking.

Royal Family, racism 

The woman on the left was a lady in waiting who has just been sacked for being a massive racist. This photo makes this country look like a ridiculous circus of inbred racists. It's like the Royal family of Royston Vasey.

Good evening, Twitter was a 16 year sociological study conducted by Harvard University. We are now complete with our study. Thank you for your time.

British laws, before they're even seen by MPs, are presented to the monarch in what was called Queen's Consent. Now, King's Consent. They can make amendments to the laws before they're even public.

In 1968 the Queen negotiated clauses to the Race Relations Act exempting the Queen and the household from laws that prevent discrimination. They argued that it was "not the practice to appoint coloured immigrants or foreigners".

Far from racism having "no place"; the royal household is built on it.
