Beefsteak 305 Posted February 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2012 Still baffles me that there are craters on the side facing us....how does stuff hit it on our side if it doesn't spin round ?? Good question Kev, and one I've never ever thought of before. I would assume that there have been a number of very, very near misses on good old planet Earth over the millenia. Also remembering that the Moon, like the City ground , has no atmosphere like Earth that burns up the small ones, and deflects others from more oblique angles. Also the moons gravity will pull a few in too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Beefsteak 305 Posted February 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2012 Here we go, a whole two weeks (New , 1st Quarter, and whole) Sorry Letsavagoo, they were all taken on a Canon 550D with a Canon 100-400mm IS USM bit of glass on the front of it. Hand held , with out a tripod in sight !! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
letsavagoo 956 Posted February 7, 2012 Report Share Posted February 7, 2012 Thanks for the info. I am really suprised at the lens only being a 400. I am very impressed and to say they are hand held is remarkable. I doff my cap to you. Are these shots full frame or cropped down. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beefsteak 305 Posted February 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2012 They're cropped from this sort of size :- Quote Link to post Share on other sites

letsavagoo 956 Posted February 9, 2012 Report Share Posted February 9, 2012 Thought you would like this Beefsteak. Taken with a Panasonic compact. I have had to reduce the file size so much it is not nearly so clear as the original. Taken 2010 by my son at Fairford I think. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mick2me 3,033 Posted February 9, 2012 Report Share Posted February 9, 2012 Spider, Did you ever go down to Alconbury Airbase with Dave Walkers Trips. We got a tour of the jet hangers and stood right next to the runway for take off. Mid 70s? Would they have been F15s? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beefsteak 305 Posted February 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2012 Mine at the same time Quote Link to post Share on other sites
letsavagoo 956 Posted February 10, 2012 Report Share Posted February 10, 2012 Mick. I never did go on one of DW's trips. I did do an advanced driving course. I cannot recall my instructors name but he was an aircraft nut. We went to Holbeach one day and watched the tankbusters and Harriers having a go at a ship target. Pretty awesome.
