I managed to get this shot the day before we were due one of those “super moon” events. I noticed that the moon was up and the sky was clear so I grabbed one of my cameras (a Nikon Coolpix L330) and tried to get a good shot of the moon and the crane. To get in this position I had to go about 40-50ft downhill to the road behind our garden. I also had to lie on the road. Holding my breath and gritting my teeth I managed to get in position and squeezed off a shot. I wasn’t able to try another shot because I was explaining to a car driver that, no, I wasn’t ill, no, I have not fallen over and no, I am not a future client for the dementia home they are building.
I did have to work a bit in Gimp to brighten the red on the crane. I left the moon as it was and left the noise around the tree branches.
These problems are easy to correct in GIMP with the perspective tool.
I took this through the wire fence with a Nikon Coolpix P80 August 2016. Unfortunately, I missed the top of the crest but not all is lost. A little bit of work with Gimp and it's back.
Have you tried Print Screen? That's the key marked Prt Sc. I think in Windows it stores the picture in a buffer somewhere, but on my Linux laptop it drops it straight onto my desktop.
That should have been 8GB not MB. Red face.
In these days when memory cards are so cheap, we tend to use high capacity cards. Because I download the days pictures onto my laptop as soon as possible, I noticed that I am only using a small proportion of the cards capacity. Now I am using 8MG cards and carrying several spares with me. If something happens (I once had the connection pins on one damaged) I have only lost some of my pictures. Each card is numbered and held in a small wallet. Swapping a card that has started to fill up takes less time than the old film cassette change. If you lose your camera or memory cards there is nothing you can do but if some of your cards are in a pocket or back in your hotel room, then some of your work is safe.
