Jack - that's terrific - I do remember the winding back with the LX but
never , as I recall, managed to make somethin glike this work.
I hvae one nit.. which is totally personal- thecolorcast overall -
except for the moon, which is pleasing at that color.. easy enough
to adjust with sliders in photoshop if you are soinclined... wondering
if the color is just what happened when you scanned for the web.
Larry -
"the technology available at the time"?! never had an LX, huh?
Film. These days someone would take two different photos. In the
process take many separate frames, checking the histogram, making sure
each one is perfect. When they got home they would put them in different
layers in photoshop, align the moon perfectly. and get exactly the photo
that they're trying for.
He had to remember what frame he shot the moon at, where in the frame it
was, compose the birds around that and had one try to get the birds perfect.
In the film era, I would have done that as two frames, in black and
white, and sandwiched the negatives in the enlarger.

This shot in Nov. 2002. LX with A*300mmf/2.8. Shot the moon (a few
times from our back patio) using a 1.4L Pentax T/C and tobacco
colored filter.
As many of you will remember. the LX would allow you to rewind the
film to a desired frame. I did so and went to Gray Lodge
Refuge the next day with designs on a flock of rising Snow Geese.
I removed the filter and T/C and fairly quickly rolled up on a good
flock of Snow Geese. As was usually the case, it took some
waiting 'til the signal went out to the geese to lift off. Their
calls as they take flight always give me chills.
I had reset the exposure to what I guessed would under expose the
scene a couple stops.
I went home with a hope of "maybe" having gotten what I'd gone after.
I consider the background a happy accident.
I found that I'd failed to rewind the film quite enough, but stuck
with it realizing it would not work as an 8X12.
I was more than pleased with the exposures and came to a reluctant
appreciation of the 8X10.
Have sold a number to locals, one just recently, and keep a couple
largish copies on continuous display.
C&C?
Thanks!
