It turns out that the moon was briefly a bit prickly during the eclipse: https://gizmodo.com/holy-crap-the-moon-was-struck-by-a-meteorite-during-th-1831950105/amp?__twitter_impression=true=IwAR2J2raJsOmE72ZNn1qM5NjnLbK7XYxNG6o3-LCGhUCtH35orIlq_nAG6VQ There is an interesting artifact: 20190120-LRC03649-HDR-2 has a yellow-turning-into-green circle on the left side.

Re: PESO: Super Bloody Wolf Moon
Not B The moon turned out naturally monochrome because I didn't catch any of the red in the earth's shadow. Each of the moon images is loaded as a layer in Photoshop. Each layer has a linked Levels adjustment layer, masked so that the Levels adjustment only applies to the moon in that layer. That gives me the visible portion of the moon at approximately the same brightness for each image. It was the best I could do because none moon images has any shadow detail I could bring out.

Re: Boris 2019-01
Stan, As you know, I am shooting m43 (Oly EM-1) these days. Wide open is not as open as what you're used to with your FF or 1.5x cropped camera bodies... I could probably open up aperture some more, but it wouldn't be that much of a difference due to the distance between me and the couple (and a dog) in the foreground and the rest of the image. I think that first I need to start getting consistently meaningful images in terms of content and then, once I get grip on that, I should start trying to figure out things such as DOF control as I shoot. It will take good time... On Wed, Jan 16, 2019 at 10:24 PM Stanley Halpin wrote: > Nice image, well seen and presented, and it has provoked interesting > discussion here! > I’ll add my 2-cents worth.

Re: PESO: Super Bloody Wolf Moon
That's a very nice composite, John! I am going to show it to my daughter tonight, - to reiterate our discussion on how lunar eclipses work. We were lucky to have a clear sky. But the entire event was past her bed time. And we were driving home while she was sleeping in the car. We made sure we got close to home just before 11 pm (CST), and woke her up. So, she saw the totality and then we watched for a bit how the light started showing up on the side, and then she went to bed at home. But she was still quite sleepy, so, going over it again with this nice composite as well as close-up images from Larry would be reinforcing that educational moment. It is rather funny that she said that she liked the solar eclipse much better: It was during the day (didn't need to sleep, and the effect was more drastic). Thank you for sharing this.

As usual, the instructions for how to do it right were at home on my desk waiting so I could find out everything I did wrong. Still, I didn't muff it as badly as I did the Solar Eclipse in 2017. https://flic.kr/p/2ehuNSE K-1, Tokina AT-X Pro 80-200mm f/2.8 @ 200mm & F/16, ISO 100, various wrong shutter speeds so I didn't catch much of the red tint. I was in town when I took these, right next to the parking lot for a city park. Raleigh, Cary & Wake County have been installing new LED street lights that don't cause as much light pollution as the old lighting. I've noticed it a couple of times in the last year or so, driving back to Raleigh on the Interstate late some night when it's overcast there's less of a bubble of light over the city. -- Science - Questions we may never find answers for.

Re: PESO: asian fairy-bluebird
That's a very credible job on a really tough exposure. You've got tremendous dynamic range between the black feathers and the bright background, plus the really saturated blue wants to clip the blue channel far too readily. All of that on top of just getting a clear shot of a critter. Good job.

Contrary to some others I actually like the composition and the inclusion of bits of the other turtles, it shows its part of a group but focuses on the one individual. I think there is a good balance to the composition but I do wish there were just a wee wider strip of sand between the rock and the edge of the frame in the bottom right. I like that the back portion of the shell mimics the angle of the profile of the rock. Is it resting its head there because the rock is warm? I like the shot, it says "Yeah I'm just going to rest here a moment." Bruce N. -- 'It's an old story,'Ryumin said. 'Something like that actually happened once; I feel sure of it.

latest best attempt at an hdr of the waning eclipse
https://www.flickr.com/photos/ellarsee/31894921907/in/album-72157675791773657/ I've come to the realization that I really need to actually plan these things out and think of them *before* I try to take the photos. I'm also quite certain that I'll come to this very same conclusion again, about a day after I next try to photograph a lunar eclipse. In any case, I think that a bit more careful processing, choosing only a couple source frames, and choosing them carefully, made a noticeable improvement, but there's still plenty more room left for improvement. -- Larry Colen l...@red4est.com http://red4est.com/lrc https://www.flickr.com/photos/ellarsee/collections/72157612824732477/ -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
