Default Practical tests.

I got tired of waiting for snow, so I figured I would try out my set up on something people could identify with. No, this is not the moon. This is a stickpin about 3-1/2 cm. long, with a head about 3/4 mm in diameter. (It's easier to tell in the second shot.) I'm pretty pleased with this set up. Even at 1 second exposure, I handheld for both of these shots. These images are straight out of the camera. No post processing at all, but I do wish my camera shot in "RAW". (and higher than 5 megapixels) I get alot of noise, if I crop a shot and then try to enlarge it. Bring on the snow!
