Anyone wanting to have a stab at taking Moon shots make sure to use a tripod and slightly underexpose the image.
I’m going to be posting more photo’s on here, let me know if you like them enough to go on your wall or something as I’m planning to open some kind of photo store and I’m gauging possible interest.

It’s amazing that a … Continue reading Simon’s Sketch Work – 3D Ball

I have in deed and sometimes I don’t have the tripod – but it means that most of my pics are fuzzy as I can’t keep the buggering camera still 😀
