Sunset captured in Leicester, England.

The cold sky

We have had some snow in Leicester here are some pictures I captured of the snow.

Some elastic bands and card board.

I cropped in as close as possible (To avoid noise) and increased the clarity and contrast to give the best results.

Thank you very much

Here is a picture I captured of the Moon (handheld) with my Nikon D3200 combined with my Tamron SP AF 70-300 F/4-5.6 Di VC USD. It was a little tricky to the get the shot right because it was very dark outside. I had to read the light meter in the camera while focusing on the moon (single point focus) and adjust aperture/shutter speed/ISO to get it to balance. I believe the white specs are stars (unless I have a really dirty sensor). 1/640 ISO 1600 f5.6 300mm

Some picture's I took using my #Nikon D3200 and #Tamron 24-75mm (2.8) lens. Was a cold and damp morning and came across a spider web which had built up water droplets through the night.

#Instagram new update to #photomap leaves users giving the location of their photos away. Most users click yes as default. #security issue, any photos taken at home on photomap gives away where you live to the street or road.

Lighting conditions were very poor, I think I used ISO 200/400. I used my Nikkor 18-105 mm lens which allowed me to get in close. If only we actually had the weather of July, the pictures would have looked better. As I wanted mostly everything in focus I chose f5.6 as my aperture, I could not go any smaller as I needed all the light I could get as well as keep everything in focus. The atmosphere was great, Leicester's diverse multicultural community gathered to see the event with no trouble whatsoever. The pictures were taken while standing in the middle of the road on London Road, Leicester. Directly outside Richer Sounds.
