Re: PESO Moon eclipse
Thanks everyone. Nice to read it works. It's amazing how fast the moon moves if you need to decide instantly about framing, exposure and positioning the tripod. Even more so if you planned something else. Toine On 19 June 2011 05:33, Christine Aguila christ...@caguila.com wrote: Very pretty!

Interesting perspective on the eclipse. It would have been interesting to have seen it with the cows as well but sometimes a better capture presents itself. ___ Pictures that I have taken on Flickr: http://www.flickr.com/photos/jt-johnson/ -Original Message- From: pdml-boun...@pdml.net [mailto:pdml-boun...@pdml.net] On Behalf Of Toine Sent: Wednesday, June 15, 2011 4:44 PM To: Pentax-Discuss Mail List Subject: PESO Moon eclipse I had planned a shot of the full eclipse with some rural cows in front.

Re: PESO: Moon Eclipse Composite
Hi all Thanks for all the comments - much appreciated. Addressing some specific questions/comments. Quoting Tom C [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Excellent Brian! Why not submit it to www.spaceweather.com? Thanks, Tom. Hadn't thought of that but I took a look at what they had and there were already some similar composites there. Quoting David Savage [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Seriously cool Brian. Although I didn't realise that the moon rose fell like that :-) You mean it doesn't look like that over in the west?. :-) Quoting Igor Roshchin [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Great! Nice idea and wonderful implementation. Photo Every So Often has a special meaning with this image. :-) Igor Thanks Igor - I guess I can claim to have submitted 20 PESOs in the one day. Is that a record? Quoting Peter McIntosh [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Wow! Love it! How did you make the composite? Ciao, Peter in western Sydney Nothing particularly innovative. I just created a black image 3000 x 2000 pixels and then in Photoshop Elements I cut and pasted images from the various image files into separate layers. Then it was just a case of moving them around until they formed the parabolic shape (a grid helped with this). Quoting Digital Image Studio [EMAIL PROTECTED]: If that was a failure then you made an impressive recovery, it looks like it should be on one of those astro photo of the day pages ;-) Nicely done. Rob Studdert Thanks Rob - I invested a couple of hours into taking the images and was determined to save something from the debacle... :-) Cheers Brian ++ Brian Walters Western Sydney, Australia http://members.westnet.com.au/brianwal/SL/ http://www.pentaxphotogallery.com/brianwalters + Quoting Brian Walters [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Hi all My attempts at photographing last night's eclipse seem to have struck similar problems to others - noisy images that, in my case, looked abysmal at full totality. The only answer was to reduce the size of the images and make a composite. All told I took about 50 photos from start to finish of the eclipse - the composite is made up of 20. I used a Tamron SP 300 mm lens plus 2x converter at shot at ISO 800 to try to keep movement of the moon during the exposures to a minimum.
