    Awesome shot Vicki… I love the way the city lights brighten the clouds above & then off course the moon lighting the sky.

    Perfectly framed and I love what the moon is doing. You should be proud of this one.

  • Vicki Ferrari replied

    Thanks DesertDweller, I am proud of this! I hadn’t had the my DSLR long when I did this so I was chuffed! Better than waiting a week to get the prints back! Vicki :))))

    Although I swore I would never go digital, it is so nice to get get that instant gratification. since I got my digital I still have about 30 rolls of film that will probably never get processed.

  • Vicki Ferrari replied

    Why don’t you just get the negs processed and then get a scanner? That way you can scan all your old favourites too!! I would be busting to know what was on the rolls of film! What film do/did you use? I was a fuji fan.

  • DesertDweller

    DesertDweller

    Funny you should say that. I’m looking at a couple scanners now. I have quite a few transparencies I would like to get onto the computer. I have always been a Fuji fan myself. You really can’t beat the color saturation.
    I am quite interested to know what is on the rolls of film. I figure it will be like Christmas when I do get them developed.

    Thanks Glenna! No water though, just the city lights! I would love to live on this hill (with good blockout curtains!) and be able to see this sight all the time! Imagine the photos that you could get!! Vicki :))

    Great shot, Vicki. I took a few at the Seaway the other night. I was shooting dogs and reflections and was caught by surprise. Didn’t know the moon was coming up and didn’t have my tripod. Had to handhold. I really must get better organised!!! :)

  • Vicki Ferrari replied

    Thanks Ann! This was taken from around Worongary area, up at the Panorama – need a good car to get up there!! Did you see Drec’s shots of the full moon? I am more a handheld person than a tripod but they are handy!! Nice to meet you!! Vicki :))

  • Ann Van Breemen

    Ann Van Breemen

    Yes I did. I actually took a photo of him, I think, taking photos. I didn’t know who he was then. I met him later. My friends were talking to him and his mum while I was running around taking photos. He’s the reason I’m here now. He mentioned the Gold Coast group and I’ve been dying to meet up with some local photographers so we can go play together. :D

  • Vicki Ferrari replied

    Great to see you join the group! And I will BM you!
