Happy New Year 2010

8:00 in the morning, Estonian, which would be 6:00 by you? Much too early for you to get up!

No problem

I'll be here

I only don't know is if before or after

Good Night!

Sorry, but I cannot drink more champagne already!
Happy new year to Anna, Bisky, Deb and Serina!

Thank you and good night, Ophy! Sleep well!

Now the blue moon has risen here, but no eclipse to be seen!

I still have 1/4 of red wine bottle

Good night!

Good night, Ophy! Hope you don't have a headache in the morning from all the celebrating!

The photos were spectacular!

Maybe

The problem with compact cameras is that they shoot some seconds after you. But if you can't you can made video clips?

Odd

I answered to something that is not there... Was I dreaming?

It was all that wine!

(Actually, I edited the post before you responded.) Thanks for the answer! What camera do you use? Yes, my camera can make videos, but I haven't gotten that far along in experience yet.

I made the pics with a EOS400. It's a digital reflex.

But I was reading the Panasonic details and I think that you have a sort of "manual" mode. You must be able to choose ISO (it has to be 1600 to photograph at night), to turn off the flash and put a lower speed: maybe something around 100 or 160 is Ok for fireworks (even if it's a bit too slow you can have interesting effects)

The videos I made are from another cam: a Canon Ixus 850. It's a small compact camera (lower than yours)

You have a scene mode for fireworks!!!!! I found it in

Choose the mode SCN and there you have an option for that

Okay, I see it now -- it's on the second page of the scene mode!
Great Thank you for finding that for me.

Sadly, we are too far out from the city to try it out tonight We can hear the noise of the fireworks, but cannot see them from home.

You can make a video with the moon and the sound of fireworks

I might just give that a try!

he three pig sites are empty.

In pig cam 1 is snowing, so no moonlight.

In Sweden it's still a lot of snowing

Did you see the picture of Santa bringing food at midnight on the LK forum for the new pig cam? I'm sorry that I missed that.

Yes, but I only saw the pic. Not life. I usually only have pig cam 1 on, because on pig cam 2 they are very noisy.

I'm going a little bit.

Happy New Year America

Maybe I'll be here to welcome your new year but I'm not sure
I still have a bit of wine left

You really should get some rest! Thanks for keeping me company this long My husband is still up working on a jigsaw puzzle here by my computer, so I'm not alone!


Here is a link to the celebration in New York City. http://newyears.earthcam.com/ It will be midnight there in about 15 minutes -- appears to be raining.
