DizzyKipper Posted June 27, 2012 Report Share Posted June 27, 2012 I've been looking for noctilucent clouds for a while now, and just happened to check last night about 1.30am. Don't have the ideal camera for it, but got a few pics. This one probably showed it the best... http://i176.photobucket.com/albums/w170/MCDizzyKipper/singles/shetlink/1.jpg Not as good as elsewhere on the WWW esp as the sky is bright but first I've seen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DizzyKipper Posted July 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2012 Again 2am last night. Is no one else looking for the rare summer only clouds? http://i176.photobucket.com/albums/w170/MCDizzyKipper/singles/shetlink/DSC00604small.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Longdog Posted July 19, 2012 Report Share Posted July 19, 2012 Nah I'd love to see them but not at 2am. Great pics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DizzyKipper Posted July 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2012 Thank you My camera is not the greatest, and several images I had to discard due to camera shake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stilldellin Posted July 19, 2012 Report Share Posted July 19, 2012 ^ Canna believe you still haven't got that tripod DK, but you're doing well, keep it up ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shetlandpeat Posted July 19, 2012 Report Share Posted July 19, 2012 You do well not to shake in all, I used to use the timer on the camera and leave it on a post, even the action of the shutter blurred the image. There has been some info on www.spaceweather.com about these clouds as well as other effects. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DizzyKipper Posted July 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2012 I was leaning the camera against the window. I also confess to increasing the contrast, as the pics came out darker than real life. They look right to me now. It was just taken on the camera's twilight preset.

stilldellin Posted July 20, 2012 Report Share Posted July 20, 2012 Not sure which category this goes under but fairly impressive out there tonight about 23.00 hrs. :-http://i1207.photobucket.com/albums/bb479/beenister/sdclouds1.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DizzyKipper Posted July 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2012 Not noctilucent, but nice! I like clouds. When I was at school down south I used to have an hour long bus journey, getting home about 5pm. I used to see the clouds and the sunsets, and imagined I had a hidden camera... I had to press my wrist and then I could blink to take the picture. Weird I know but I couldn't bear the thought of missing something that looked so nice! Maybe we should have a 'sky' topic for weather pics... clouds, rainbows, sunsets, sundogs, etc.? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArabiaTerra Posted July 22, 2012 Report Share Posted July 22, 2012 Speaking of clouds: http://i141.photobucket.com/albums/r60/ArabiaTerra/photos032.jpg Taken through a window with a crappy 35mm compact. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe we should have a 'sky' topic for weather pics... clouds, rainbows, sunsets, sundogs, etc.? Well we already have a " Sky at Night " topic, maybe " The Sky by Day " ? just wondering how much storage on Shetlink . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filskadacat Posted July 22, 2012 Report Share Posted July 22, 2012 just wondering how much storage on Shetlink . As I suggested to stilldellin afore - all you guys who are good with the camera should join the Facebook page. I hugely enjoy being on George Graham’s ‘Shetland on Camera’ – there are superb photos to enjoy daily, everyone is very nice to one another – fine change fae Shetlink then! – and there's been a peerie bit of reddin up kin going on as well. I think you have to be invited to join by a group member and George is - wisely - not on Shetlink but you could PM me your Facebook name and I could add you - there are 740 of us in the group. Or - more straightforwardly and perhaps courteously - just look on Facebook for George Graham in Mossbank and ask him directly - it's his group.

Sudden Stop Posted July 22, 2012 Report Share Posted July 22, 2012 OTAs I suggested to stilldellin afore - all you guys who are good with the camera should join the Facebook page.....Or - more straightforwardly and perhaps courteously - just look on Facebook for George Graham in Mossbank and ask him directly - it's his group. Done and done. I didn't know about that group till now. Looks like a good outlet for the piles of photos that I can never find a use for!
