Hi All
I was going to post these over at DPreview today but I can't seem to get onto their site. They may be having problems? Anyway I have been meaning to join here so that issue has given me the motivation.
Anyway the view of the comet was spectacular here in Western Australia last night. The following photos do not really do it justice but they are my attempt to capture the inspiring view. The photos were taken with a DL and a Tamron 18-200 lens. To give a sense of the size of the tail the second photo was taken with a focal length of about 120mm, to try to capture as much of the scene as possible.
For those interested in the location the photos were taken near Ferguson Valley (if you are interested in obscure Wine regions it is worth a visit on your way to Margaret River) in the hills to the East of Bunbury in Western Australia. The lights in the bottom right of the first photo are the town of Capel.
Hope you enjoy them.
Cheers
Kim
