If I had that kind of environment within my reach, I would never be able to keep a job. I would just live to take pictures of it everyday. Here in Kansas, there aint much beauty aside from corn fields and the city. But I also feel like thats a challenge to me as an amature photographer, to find beauty in places that other people cant see and make them see it. Im getting better at it but Kansas is definitely challenge in that respect to me.

I don't live on the Isle of Wight, I live in Norfolk, UK, about 200 or so miles from it, but it's quite nice to keep popping down there for long weekends. :) Norfolk is just as beautiful as the Isle of Wight though. ;)

Three shots from today:

200 miles qualifies as in your reach if you ask me :cool: Here, 200 miles wouldnt even get me out of the state so if I go 200 miles I will only see the same scenery.

Pictures of Jupiter and the moon, tried using PNG to preserve the quality but it seemed to be worse than JPEG. Any other formats I can use that I can also upload?:



Without the Barlow lens, and keep in mind this is using a 1/13 shutter speed jupiter moves rather quickly even 1/13 of a second isnt quick enough. Thats fast:



With Barlow lens:


This was saved using bitmap:



Looks like bitmap worked out perfectly to preserve the quality :) Sadly facebook wont let me upload bitmap images even though they say it supports it :( JPEG looks like crap.

Those pictures are awesome! Can you post the same RAW photo converted to JPG and BMP so I can see what you're talking about?

JPEG:



Perhaps its only facebook that ruins them. I wouldnt see why. Its as if facebook is uploading only 8-bit color depth.

This is what Im talking about:


I dont have the RAW file of that image anymore to convert it to BMP to compare. But you can see around the clouds the color is horrible quality.

G80, try uploading your JPEG to Flickr and see if it's any better. I always upload to Flickr, seems pretty good. :)
