What was taking so long. I knew someone would eventually say something snide. :-)

Of course it's a book on astrophotography, but the title was too good not to get cute with it. I just couldn't resist.

"I renewed my porn mag too..... BIRDER'S WORLD"

Hehehehe. ;-)

Just because it's got pictures in it doesn't necessarily mean it's a photgraphy book!

lol

I'm sorry it took me so long to reply, I'm a little slow sometimes.. :)

"doesn't necessarily mean it's a photgraphy book!"

How very true! Otherwise, Playboy, Vogue, Glamour, etc, would all be considered "photography" books (or magazines)! I've read some authors of posing/glamour photography books have recommended them, to look at the photo's, to see how they pose people, how the lighting is done, etc. But none of them have ever recommended reading them!

What's funny is that I've been taking astrophotography shots for more than two years now, and within the past few months I've bought two books on astrophotography. :-O
I haven't really learned anything new photographically, but it's interesting reading about the techniques others use, and seeing that others use similar or identical lenses, film, etc. They've got some good idea's and suggestions that I think are great, whether you're a novice or experienced astrophotographer.

Thanks for the comments. They are always appreciated. :-)

...Clue me in.

I KNEW that you KNEW!

Astro geek? I've been called worse!!! :-O

BTW, the subtitle is "The Photographers Guide To Astrophotography".

Guess that should read "The Astro Geeks Guide To Astrophotography" according to you. ;-)

You're an astro geek, I'm a bird nerd. We can't change that, can we?

you think all I know about is birds..... you've insulted my intelligence now ;)

I ONLY watch.... HBO(ALL 10),ANIMAL PLANET, NAT GEO, DISCOVERY(ALL of them), OUTDOOR CHANNEL and sometimes SPIKE TV.

HEAVENLY BODIES refers to .....

HEAVENLY..... ya know, UP as in " in the heavens above"

BODIES.... as in CELESTIAL BODIES (galaxies, stars, nebulas, planets....)

hahaha.... Paul can be an "astro bird geek nerd"

I'll gladly accept the title of astro geek.

And you are a multi-talented guy!

Paulnj, if you were British I'd believe that "Birder's World" WAS a porn mag! In England, "bird" is a slang for a woman. I learned that from Paul McCartney, on his Back in the U.S.A. tour, when he explained that his song "Blackbird" was about the Civil Rights of black women... if my memory serves me right, it was referring to Rosa Parks.

WHO said I WASN'T british at HEART :)

my camera WEIGHS 8POUND, but I wish the cost was 8 POUNDS :rolleyes:

btw... A great birding friend is from WALES , I mess with him every time we go SHORE BIRD watching at the BEACH ;) BOTH BIRDS :D
