However, I don't have a scanner there, so I'm only now getting the sketches I did scanned in. I skipped a couple that weren't that good, but I'll post the rest here. The first 3 are white Faber-Castel watercolor pencil; the remainder are white Derwent Graphitint (which I prefer). All are on A5 Daler-Rowney black paper sketchbook. (I prefer the texture of Artagain -- which I use with my SF70/Pronto -- but I like the form-factor of the A5 sketchbook while travelling.) -------------------- Nikon 18x70s / UA Millennium                                       Colorado: Solarscope SF70 / TV Pronto / AP400QMD                       Coronado SolarMax40 DS / Bogen 055+3130 APM MC1610 / Tak FC-100 / AP1200GTO                        Tak Mewlon 250 / AP600EGTO Post Extras:       Jeff Young Post Laureate Reged: 08/04/05 Posts: 3145 Loc: Ireland Re: Solar sketches from holidays [Re: Jeff Young]       #2544580 - 07/27/08 04:26 PM Attachment (4 downloads) Edit   Reply   Quote Quick Reply   Next: -------------------- Nikon 18x70s / UA Millennium                                       Colorado: Solarscope SF70 / TV Pronto / AP400QMD                       Coronado SolarMax40 DS / Bogen 055+3130 APM MC1610 / Tak FC-100 / AP1200GTO                        Tak Mewlon 250 / AP600EGTO Post Extras:       Jeff Young Post Laureate Reged: 08/04/05 Posts: 3145 Loc: Ireland Re: Solar sketches from holidays [Re: Jeff Young]       #2544582 - 07/27/08 04:27 PM Attachment (5 downloads) Edit   Reply   Quote Quick Reply   #3 -------------------- Nikon 18x70s / UA Millennium                                       Colorado: Solarscope SF70 / TV Pronto / AP400QMD                       Coronado SolarMax40 DS / Bogen 055+3130 APM MC1610 / Tak FC-100 / AP1200GTO                        Tak Mewlon 250 / AP600EGTO Post Extras:       Jeff Young Post Laureate Reged: 08/04/05 Posts: 3145 Loc: Ireland Re: Solar sketches from holidays [Re: Jeff Young]       #2544584 - 07/27/08 04:27 PM Attachment (3 downloads) Edit   Reply   Quote Quick Reply   #4 -------------------- Nikon 18x70s / UA Millennium                                       Colorado: Solarscope SF70 / TV Pronto / AP400QMD                       Coronado SolarMax40 DS / Bogen 055+3130 APM MC1610 / Tak FC-100 / AP1200GTO                        Tak Mewlon 250 / AP600EGTO Post Extras:       Jeff Young Post Laureate Reged: 08/04/05 Posts: 3145 Loc: Ireland Re: Solar sketches from holidays [Re: Jeff Young]       #2544592 - 07/27/08 04:30 PM Attachment (3 downloads) Edit   Reply   Quote Quick Reply   #5 -------------------- Nikon 18x70s / UA Millennium                                       Colorado: Solarscope SF70 / TV Pronto / AP400QMD                       Coronado SolarMax40 DS / Bogen 055+3130 APM MC1610 / Tak FC-100 / AP1200GTO                        Tak Mewlon 250 / AP600EGTO Post Extras:       Jeff Young Post Laureate Reged: 08/04/05 Posts: 3145 Loc: Ireland Re: Solar sketches from holidays [Re: Jeff Young]       #2544594 - 07/27/08 04:31 PM Attachment (3 downloads) Edit   Reply   Quote Quick Reply   And finally: -------------------- Nikon 18x70s / UA Millennium                                       Colorado: Solarscope SF70 / TV Pronto / AP400QMD                       Coronado SolarMax40 DS / Bogen 055+3130 APM MC1610 / Tak FC-100 / AP1200GTO                        Tak Mewlon 250 / AP600EGTO Post Extras:       Dee professor emeritus Reged: 03/12/06 Posts: 640 Loc: Ireland Re: Solar sketches from holidays [Re: Jeff Young]       #2544673 - 07/27/08 05:23 PM Edit   Reply   Quote Quick Reply   I see the sun was shining on your holidays Nice series of sketches Dee Post Extras:       frank5817 Post Laureate Reged: 06/13/06 Posts: 3001 Loc: Illinois Re: Solar sketches from holidays [Re: Dee]       #2544837 - 07/27/08 06:57 PM Edit   Reply   Quote Quick Reply   Jeff, Great solar sketching. Wonderful, just like your sketching forum winner from June. Nice to know you had sunshine on your holidays.

Although Colorado has some interesting weather patterns: I'd say it was sunny in the morning probably 8 out of every 10 days, but only about 2 out of every 10 in the afternoon. Then again, the family all wanted to do other things in the afternoon, so I guess it wasn't so bad.... -- Jeff. -------------------- Nikon 18x70s / UA Millennium                                       Colorado: Solarscope SF70 / TV Pronto / AP400QMD                       Coronado SolarMax40 DS / Bogen 055+3130 APM MC1610 / Tak FC-100 / AP1200GTO                        Tak Mewlon 250 / AP600EGTO Post Extras:       Jeff Young Post Laureate Reged: 08/04/05 Posts: 3145 Loc: Ireland Re: Solar sketches from holidays [Re: Jeff Young]       #2544856 - 07/27/08 07:05 PM Attachment (3 downloads) Edit   Reply   Quote Quick Reply   Thanks, Frank! It's good to be back with the SF70 in Ireland, though. Here's a sketch from today in worse seeing than I ever saw in Colorado, yet there's still much more detail visible with the larger (and unobstructed) filter: -------------------- Nikon 18x70s / UA Millennium                                       Colorado: Solarscope SF70 / TV Pronto / AP400QMD                       Coronado SolarMax40 DS / Bogen 055+3130 APM MC1610 / Tak FC-100 / AP1200GTO                        Tak Mewlon 250 / AP600EGTO Post Extras:       CarlosEH Post Laureate Reged: 01/19/05 Posts: 3076 Loc: Pembroke Pines, Broward County...

You have captured the delicate nature of these solar eruptions. Thank you for sharing them with us all.
