A steady hand needed - Jupiter shot hand-held

Had a really nice clear sky earlier, (just before the fog and cloud rolled in). Noticed Jupiter was looking nice and bright in the sky so tried a hand-held shot using a Canon EOS 7D with a 100-300 lens attached. Put the lense on manual focus and set it to infinity, whacked the zoom up to 300mm, set the camera at f5.6 and 1/60th sec at ISO 6400. Got this result, (heavily cropped) ... Will try same shot another night on a tripod and compare the results!

A personal trip to Bedford

Yesterday, 31st October 2011, marked the 35th anniversary of the death of my mother. The 21st November will mark the 25th anniversary of my father's death. It's not often I go to the cemetery, probably only about my 3rd or 4th visit in all those years. Took flowers and a couple of photographs and finished off with a walk in the adjoining Bedford Park, a place I was often taken as a child.

35mm Film Canisters Salt/Pepper

I often wonder what photographs I took on the film that was once in these canisters - Probably nothing as good as the salt and pepper they now hold!!!
