Hello Rafik, Fantastic Image very nice color effect, congratulations. I would like to give you a small critique, I hope you don't mind, The moon look a little flat I would like to see more shadow to get this 3D effect. And aswering you question from the Dragonfly picture, No I didn't stack images I took this Photograph at the smallest aperture my lens can give F16 . Best Regards.

Hi omar, thanks for stopping by and for ur honeest critique, if u can illustrate what u mean by the 3d effect? i would love to hear more about that.

 

About this shot, the shot was taken with 70-300 vr nikon @ 300mm plus 2x, VR was turned off. I think focal length was like 930mm in 35mm equivalent. i cropped like half of it.

 

shot with manfrotto 190 x pro B tripod and manfrotto 488RC4 ballhead which is a sturdy head.

 

i focused manually and used the d70 cable shutter release. i increased the kelvin degrees like 4000 degrees to get that dusty look.

 

About ur shot, wow only f/16 and u have established that DOF, what focal length was this dragon fly shot at? i also love the lighting effect on ur dragon fly, it is awesome.

 

thx again and regards, RK!

Hello Rafik, I didn't mean that you photograph was bad, is just that in my opinion I would like to see more shadow on the moon , something like this. this Shot is not mine I just want to illustrate what I mean Red Moon Best Wishes.

Naturally, you do not get shadows with a full Moon, except when there is a lunar eclipse as shown above. Both photos are very good while also being very different.
