Wildblue, that's a great combi coat, jacket and Hat. Looks really like the good old time.

David, great your Strat. He looks so good!

Davey, the Gangster Fedora fits you good. I like it.

Mike, that's the old one with the hole in the Pinch. I´ve forgotton the name.

Perry, great looking OR. I have a Resistol 7x OR clone, I like him too.

So how about some Afield shots of the beautiful moon/planets conjunction in the western sky? Would love to see it from your neighborhood. Here is the view from outside my front door last night, with Jupiter, Venus and the crescent moon trying to compete with the streetlights.

There won't be a conjunction this nice again for a couple of decades. Tonight the moon will slide up cozy to Venus. Put your camera on a tripod or hold steady against some sort of support. Shoot while the sky still has color shortly after sunset. Use a low ISO setting to subdue the noise and if you can, adjust the shutter - maybe f4, to keep the nearby hat wearers or scenery in focus as a silhouette. An exposure from 1 - 3 seconds is probably long enough to catch the light and short enough to keep the heavenly bodies from blurring as they set.

Look forward to seeing yours!

Great shots Alan, I've really enjoyed your photos. Thanks for the guidance on the photo. I'll try that this evening.

The end of the felt hat season is nearing. It's probably warm enough in Dallas today for a straw, but I love my felts. I'll keep wearing them till forced to wear a straw hat.
