asteroids are basically failed building blocks of a planet most are between Mars and Jupiter though they can wander. Meteors are pieces of space junk hitting the atmosphere and burning up on the way to the ground. Comets are general big balls of dirty ice orbiting the sun. There are thought to be 1000s in the Oort Cloud (past Pluto.). They can make spectacular runs around the sun.

It seems I should have sprung for a bit more expensive version and gone with the Hoya brand. I will definitely be doing that on the ND filter but those are only about $20. The more expensive circular polarizers are over $40.

On the circular polarizer should I be getting gray or black?

Does anyone have any thoughts on these circular polarizer questions? Do I need to just replace the cheap insignia one?

I did too, until I saw yours. Beautiful shots.

It looks like you were as fortunate as us to get a full view of Denali.

We didn't get nearly as close. We could only go in up to Savage River. It wasn't open any further than that point.

Really hard to say, and it's situationally dependent. What I can do is give you link to a pretty decent site with a lot of ideas about those situations...

And to remind you not to go totally cheap. I don't pull my circular polarizer out enough, and it's not good. Around water and bright blue skies, it's da'bom....

Ok, still a great shot from there. We took a tour about 50 some miles in.

Actually the first picture I posted was from the train up to Denali. The second one was from the park.

Here's another one I forgot I had, taken from my phone. It was on the way out of Glacier Bay. rel="Lightbox"?s=1dedfb89db711a1af0b951359b353d08&attachmentid=110098&thumb=1&d=1435338643" class="thumbnail" border="0" alt="Click image for larger version Name: uploadfromtaptalk1435338639924.jpg Views: 179 Size: 98.6 KB ID: 110098" style="margin: 2px" />

Anybody here use TriggerTraps? Just got one, playing around. Any cool tips or tricks?

suzzer99 · 10-06-2016, 07:13 PM

I didn't take these obviously. But I think they're amazing. Supposedly a teenager took these in Hong Kong in the 50s: http://designyoutrust.com/2016/02/ho...by-a-teenager/
