FTFY :P

<Ducks and runs for his life>
Haha, but that pic has some heavy post-processing.  Though I'm definitely up for a manual focus lesson on the NEX.  How does one in Palau sound ;)

To be honest there wasn't too much to see with the naked eye that night.  Crazy what you can do with a camera.
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

Even with you ducking, you still make a pretty big target.
Understatement of the year :D

Follow @aurora_alerts on Twitter, match the forecasted KP to this map, find a dark area (blue or darker) on this map, and check the weather forecast for clear skies.

Iceland photography trip:

JFK-KEF 2/22 (rev. flight)
KEF-BOS-LGA 2/25 (rev. flight + 4.5k Avios)

3 days, 2 nights. Intense, non-stop photography. Napping in a camper van. Chasing the light, chasing the aurora.

Would be more of a photography trip than a teaching trip, so this is only if you're very comfortable with a camera and have (or could rent/borrow) some relatively "serious" gear.

This will only be for photography, not to see or do any tourist stuff. No Blue Lagoon on this trip... More like hours standing out in the cold in the middle of the night hunched over a camera.

So who's crazy enough to join? whYME and I are in so far. 4 people max.

Trip Report begun here.

- When you say "Strangers, people watching" I assume you're referring to what's generally called "street photography". That's another genre where I've dabbled in, but it's never spoken to me. I personally have no real interest in it and I'm not very good at it, so I don't think I have any business teaching other people about it :P...
Hmmm, you could've fooled me in Cuba.

My Polaroid pictures are still developing and then have to be scanner..  :-[

And one person's Selfie Stick never came so he mostly didn't get to have fun.  ;D

But for the rest of the folks, soon, real soon.
