Re: [APML] Ilford B&W film + H-Alpha filter

Hi Stuart,

Thank you:)

My poem is actualy not mine, but an excerpt from an
old Rush tune...also Toronto boys....I kinda figured
they would go good together.

I understand the postcard deal.... but the
geese...well artists will be artists.
They are an amazing piece of work.

If interested, I havent been getting around to much
photography except for these few which arent related
to astro pictures:

These were taken across from Niagara falls Ontario in
Lewiston NY during a night of some pretty severe
weather.
The first was taken mid aftenoon and the 2nd was at
around 1030pm.
The lightning makes the sky look like twilight.
Shortly after, a huge gust front came in producing 50
mph winds and some horizontal hail...owe!

Thanks again,
Brian
