How did you get such a clear and realistic shot of the moon? Do you use a specific setting on you camera @garyinhere?

Steevo · Sep 17, 2014

You can use alignment software and a small aperture setting to get long depth of field and good light for a longer shot, and then combine a few frames together using stars as alignment points for the actual moon shot.

Reverse lens macro with my 50mm prime. Would have liked to get a wider depth of field, but you can only get so much with the lens reversed.

Which is better? Original?

or modified?

Ahhzz · Oct 3, 2014

Not much fond of the modified, myself.... but I know some people who like that sort of look...

qu4k3r · Oct 3, 2014

I'm not so good catching lightning strikes but I did my best...

I hope improve the shots next time, lol

They are both beautiful!! The modified has the appearance of an incoming storm.

There was, and the sun was shining through from behind me. But the original didn't show it as dramatically as I hoped, so I played around with it a little in CS2.

Took some photos at Nuit Blanche, saw some interesting art...and porn...apparently that's art.

Those are legit lol

If ever you were on the Bay just look up a program call Photomatix. You can actually get an HDR effect with one photo. It's called tonemapping

t_ski · Oct 7, 2014

I figured with your skill that they were. I need to look into it some more.

flmatter · Oct 7, 2014

Tonight's moon cropped it a little to fit better
