Last night was a last minute clear skies chase. Didn't have enough time for a star trail but did manage to fire off a few shots. This is a 4 shot panoramic, all shot in portrait. f/2.8, ISO 3200, 25 seconds. Stitched using Microsoft ICE and tweaked in Photoshop. Panoramic stars by A_Cro, on Flickr

I've noticed a massive difference in the pictures between my 550 and the Mrs' 50. Both on the same lens, same aperture, iso etc her colours are more vibrant. Have you tried using a custom white balance in the camera? A plain white sheet of paper in good light? I need to buy a monitor...

A couple from the weekend. The Deep, Hull. Jelly by A_Cro, on Flickr One from the In-Laws garden. Fuel by A_Cro, on Flickr

Cheers Brazo. I really need to invest in a monitor. Using my laptop, it looked OK, a tad under but enough to live with. Cheers Ben. I didn't have to do anything apart from convert it to Jpeg. The colours were awesome that evening, especially with the long exposure and No filter. I like your...

Two from sunset tonight. Sunset over the farm by A_Cro, on Flickr Still by A_Cro, on Flickr

It'll be good but not just yet. I imagine it'll be much better in America due to everywhere being online with decent connections.

Yup, same for me too. Have to go back to edit the post to shift the name to where it should be.

Camera update is available. There is a new background blur feature (not that great) and they have taken the timelapse option from video. Layout has changed too.

You've managed to get online? Psn is down for me and looking at Twitter, down for a lot of others too.

One from today. Been stuck in the house all day due to being on stand by for work. Need to get this method better. Indoors by A_Cro, on Flickr

4am start this morning :( Sun up by A_Cro, on Flickr

Congratulations mate. Cracking image too.

Cheers :) Also made the Telegraph too. The editor must have liked it a bit more as it's number 19 on this one :p http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/picturegalleries/earth/10754560/In-pictures-Spectacular-landscape-photographs-capture-Earth-in-all-its-beauty.html?image=1

One of my images made the Mail online today. I entered it in to The Societies landscape competition a while back and it was highly commended. Pastel sun set by A_Cro, on Flickr Alongside some brilliant images. Mines at the bottom...

ENTRY Hold still by A_Cro, on Flickr

A couple from yesterday. One for the comp. Hold still by A_Cro, on Flickr And 4 stacked shots of the ISS pass last night. I should try one exposure again but last time I tried it it went horribly wrong! ISS over Llyn Bran by A_Cro, on Flickr

That is a stunning car!

Possibility Vintage Kodak by A_Cro, on Flickr

Nice. Just spotted that on FB. I need to do some more with LEGO

What make of lens is it? I've got a Sigma 17-35 f2.8 and it seems the blades are stuck at 2.8 :( Going to cost a hundred from sigma to get it repaired but looking on eBay, I'm not sure it's worth it.

One from today. Off out in a bit to hopefully get a decent milky way shot. Hopefully.

I've looked a few times at making the jump to full frame from my 550d and I just can't justify the spend at the moment . I could afford a second hand 5d mk2 body but then I'll be stuck with my 50mm 1.8 and my sigma 17-35 2.8 and I'd want a zoom. I'll have to have a think next year, see how my...

One from a while back that I found on a hard drive. Had another go at editing it. Turned out better this time imo, think I over saturated it last time. Storm wall-Revisited by A_Cro, on Flickr

Picked up assassin's creed on eBay last night for £30 with the DLC pack (apparently). Be good to see it on the 4. Enjoyed it on the PS3 but didn't get anywhere near finishing it.

Did you look? I wonder if there are some vintage strip club open? Worth a trip maybe for some... Inspiration.

Well done Matt. Interesting theme, will have to have a good think for this one. Edit: it seems that there is a lot of dodgy images if you search vintage on Flickr. I advise you not to do the search on works computer...

Gave time stacking a try the other night. This is 31 images stacked in photoshop, the top layer lightened then compressed, then repeat the process. I have some places in mind for this, I just need decent clouds and colour in the sky.

I hope so although from the official Flickr threads I've read, it's this way for good and the old bb style of uploading will not be coming back.

Lol. Magic lantern. It's for Canon camera's. It's software that you keep on the memory card and it gives you more options in camera. Different iso settings, custom kelvin levels for white balance, built in intervalometer for timelapse, silent shutter, focus options etc. I've heard good things...
