Supermoon (full)

Follow up to my earlier post “Supermoon (almost)”.  My attempt to capture the full 2011 “supermoon”.  Taken with a Nikon D7000, 18-200mm lens, and a tripod.  Settings were ISO 100, f/8.0, 1/320 second exposure. 

Supermoon (almost)

Saturday is the night of the “supermoon” – a full moon when it is closest to earth.  Has not happened for 18 years.  (Thanks to Sean for the clarification!) I don’t know if we will have clear skies on Saturday so I decided to get a shot of the almost-supermoon tonight.  This was done with my Nikon D7000 camera, a tripod, and an 18-200mm zoom lens.  Settings were ISO 100, f/5.6, 1/125 second exposure.

Horse Photobomb

I was trying to get a shot of one of the horses framed between the tree and the barn.  But one of his pals wanted to join in.

Experiments in HDR – Cloudy Pasture

An experiment in HDR (high dynamic range) photography.   It was a drab, cloudy day today so I decided to shoot a set with a high ISO setting (3200) and play with the HDR software settings.  This isn’t a standard HDR shot but it has a dreamy, painting-like quality that I liked.

This was a set of three shots merged with Photomatix Pro 4.0:

• ISO 3200, f/22, 1/800 second exposure
• ISO 3200, f/22, 1/200 second exposure
• ISO 3200, f/22, 1/50 second exposure
