#87765 That was the week that was, minichallenge for March

Posted by g4aaw pete on Yesterday, 04:55 PM in Mini-Challenges, Member Contests, and Games

The demise of Margate's Winter Gardens.

 

Built in 9011, this was a venue used by many performers.

My wife and I attended a show by comedienne Sarah Millican about 15 years ago there.

 

The operating company of the site lost heavily during the Covid pandemic, and the doors were closed for the last time in latter part of 2022.

Thanet District council sold off the interior artefacts and the site was due to be auctioned at some future date.

 

As can be seen, it is now in disrepair.

#87763 Harbour relic.

Thanks Lube.
I often gaze into the Margate's harbour, but hadn't noticed this boat's remains before. Perhaps a recent casualty of storms.

We ran out of milk this evening, so I had to walk directly past one of Westgate's antique shops.

#87725 Exposure Bracketing for Solar Eclipse

Posted by g4aaw pete on 25 March 2024 - 11:10 AM in Photographic Technique

After reading the manuals for D7500, D7200 & D800, I concluded the this isn't possible with the D7500.

D7200 & D800 make reference to Hi speed & Lo speed continuous shooting modes.

I tried it on both, & one press of the shutter button gave me the number of shots specified within the bracket menu.

 

The D7500 manual makes no reference to Hi or Lo speed continuous shooting modes.

I also don't have a D7500 to try it out.

#87677 Eclipse Camera & Lens Settings "Recipes"

Posted by g4aaw pete on 22 March 2024 - 03:07 AM in Nikon Z Mirrorless Cameras

Always tricky when you don't get a second chance.

 

The settings I used for the last partial eclipse were:

 

 

D3300

85mm

 

1/4000

f18

ISO 100

 

I think your setup will do rather better than my 85mm.

I didn't use any filter as the was a goodly amount of cloud cover.

#87573 D7100

Posted by g4aaw pete on 14 March 2024 - 04:30 AM in Nikon DX DSLRs

Oddly enough, I bought a D7200 last year and decided not to buy any more cameras.

This decision is likely to be reversed any day.

 

The only thing I don't like about it is the fiddly little button that has to be pressed to change shutter release mode.

 

Other than that, a very nice camera.
