Combining images and emphasising one aspect is all part of it. Nice one Eric. Another possible explanation for the slight loss of sharpness in the plane is the pixel size enlargement as the software rearranges the pixels as the second overlaid image to the same grid pattern as the background image, think micro mosaic? Less of an issue with a modern high res DSLR but with the D1's 2.7 Mp it was very evident when I tried similar tricks with almost brick sized pixels. As well as movement, air distortion around the plane, eddies and fast flowing air-pockets must have an effect on sharpness I would have thought, compressed and expanded air create distortion and air shimmies, especially when it's being compressed and expanded when a bloody great lump of metal is being propelled through it at such high speed, think ship and wake?

All I did was lasso a section and stretch it bigger upwards, then erase/feather the top edge where the sky overlapped the moon. Crude ...but sufficient for a bit of fun and discussion.

Bad weather today so didn't get any chance to try new camera settings. (Graham) There was a brief burst of sunlight which saw the family of Song Thrushes emerge en masse. 3 young plus both parents. The young stayed in the borders for most of the time but one popped out when Dad came close with food....but right at the bottom of the garden. ☹ï¸ Click here to comment on this image.

Tap, tap, tap on the patio door. Spun chair round, nearly spilling coffee, and there's a young jackdaw trying to come in. Of course with 700mm on the camera it wasn't going to focus at 2feet! Dashed into office grabbed the D500 which had a 100mm lens on it. No time to juggle setting as he was off as soon as I pointed camera at him...through dirty (yes Ive got another job tomorrow) window. Not brilliant but another crazy moment in a crazy springtime.  Click here to comment on this image.

Spot on Ian. Wendy just forwared this laugh to me so hope it is not too rude: A guy goes into the confessional box after years being away from the Church.He pulls aside the curtain, enters and sits himself down. There's a fully equipped bar with crystal glasses, the best vestry wine, Guinness on tap, cigars and liqueur chocolates nearby, and on the wall a fine photographic display of buxom ladies who appear to have mislaid their garments. He hears a priest come in:"Father, forgive me for it's been a very long time since I've been to confession and I must admit that the confessional box is much more inviting than it used to be". The priest replies, "Get out, you idiot, you're on my side".

Very good Graham, reminds me of another priest story but that is definitely too rude for this genteel gathering...
