A Pic A Day

[Guest Mrs Newt]

Picture of RAKU pottery I took while out with Newt this morning. (Raku is a unique ceramic firing process. Each piece is sealed with a glaze that is high in copper. Each piece is fired in a ceramic kiln until the heat from the piece ignites paper, causing a reaction with the copper in the glaze. The result is a wide range of colors on the surface of the piece full of beautiful colors, luster, and patterns.)

Judy - that platefull making me very hungry !!!!

 

The moon photo is taken on a tripod, zoomed in with a 300mm lens .... if you have creative modes on your camera - (manual mode, F11, 1/125 @ ISO 100) ... with a non-slr camera, use a tripod and and timer on camera so no shake when taking photo, play with settings until you get correct shutter speed ... to slow and it blows out (moon to white and you loose detail), to fast and its very faint ... its finding a happy medium.

 

Spent my lunch today trying to photo a Robin Red Breast that has been around for weeks now, it's making a fool of me though ... not got any good shots of it yet, is so fast and nippy, hard to get decent photo.

 

Took this one of some of the Starlings while waiting for the Robin to appear.
