Nice shots.

Cardinals were plentiful when I use to live in the Chicago suburbs but here in Texas...very very few. If only they had powerful digital cameras back then...(70's, 80's, 90's).

what is PP?

I think what you are referring to is chromatic aberration

"Chromatic Aberration. This is also sometimes known as "fringing," as it produces color fringing around the edges of high contrast images. For instance, you'll often notice chromatic aberration when photographing objects against a bright sky. It is caused by the lens not focusing wavelengths of light onto the exact same focal plane. It can be corrected by using lenses that have two or more pieces of glass with different refractive qualities, such as Nikon ED or Canon UD lenses. "

Let me know if this is what you are referring to else tell me to shut up.

dugole,

I'm not too sure what you are referring to but I'm assuming you are talking about a lining around the subject. I have noticed this before on high contrasts shots and the moon being on the extreme. I've always attributed it to the camera/lens. However, all my moon shots are taken by point and shoot cameras

Here's one from last night that is not so blown out

Great shot

I would have to agree with you. Unfortunately, this was the clearest of the bunch. Was not able to setup as usual and snapped off a few handheld shots

Taken on 5/3 @ about 10:00 pm
