Wow, some fantastic pics here. I'll share one from today- it may not be as spectacular as others, but it was a beautiful bonus sail at the end of a long day. After we had taken her kids sailing all day, our wonderful neighbor took ours home with her so we could take the boat out on a sunset cruise.
It was taken with a Canon SX30IS Powershot with the stock lens and was handheld for the picture. Also the camera was on a very low setting as far as mega-pixels with the file size only being a little over 300 KB and no where near the 14.1 meg-pixel top setting. My old Canon (digital) was still taking good pictures (first two pictures on the other post), but I couldn't preview them anymore in the camera. We bought the SX since it has a true viewfinder that I like on the water as sometimes it is just too bright to use the screen. At the time, Christmas 2011, we got the camera at a Walmart for about $350.
I love it. I worried a little at first if the size would be a problem as it...
...is larger than the Canon it replaced, but actually like the feel of it. About the size of a smaller older SLR, but a lot lighter. I'd highly recommend it to some one that was looking for a nice camera (as Joe made light of this is a camera not a phone with a camera
).Looks like they might be a little more now...

The picture above was reduced in file size for our web site from 300 KB to about 30 KB. Here is another shot taken at a higher zoom...
...and still handheld shot with available light. I only edited the width from 1200 pixels down to 800 for this site's requirements and reduced the file size from 300 KB to 62 KB,

The sailboat picture was taken from another sailboat (me). Both boats were underway, and rolling and pitching as boats do. I could see the picture opportunity coming as we sailed along. Waited for just the right moment. The sun came out exactly symmetrical, and the shade from the sail allowed a semi-silhouette. Miraculous luck.

I am a frequent shooter of the moon. I sold off some of my camera equipment to change hobbies to sailing. I am a Nikon guy, some 30 years. This lens is a Sigmonster. If you want to throw ten grand at glass, there is no better choice. Goes from 300-800mm at a constant f/5.6.
First image is at 300mm, second is at 800mm

Great stuff, Geoff. The partial eclipse is the coolest eclipse photograph I think I've ever seen.
