    Nathan,

     

    Thank you for your suggestions.

     

    In your suggestion, the exposure time would be 10 sec or longer. As the moon would move over the sky in a considerable speed (at least in the view finder of a 800mm lens camera), are you suggesting me to use a mount (tripod) for astronomical observation, which can automatically offset the motion due to the Earth rotation?

     

    You know, I am an amateur in astro-photography, and I don't have an astro-mount. Do you have further advice for me?

     

    I am eager to see your moon or other astro-photos.

     

    Regards.

    This is the first time I use my Sigma 80-400mm with 2x teleconverter

    to hunt the moon. Please give honest comments, helping me to grow.

    Thank you very much. Regards.

    The scene is really romantic!

     

    Here are my suggestions:

    In my opinion, I think the photo is a bit under-exposed. I expect to see brighter and fresher colours on the sky and sea. I think the underexposure somehow hinder the colour expression. I would also like to see a bit more details and definitions in the dark regions, which occupy significant portion of the photo. Try to use a +0.3 exposure compensation. Or you may use bracketing and then overlay the 2 images using PS with regional opacity.

     

    Finally I think you may try to correct the perspective tilted mast by PS.

     

    Nice photo~

    Keep shooting~~~

    ^^

    The colour is nice here.

     

    However, concerning the composition, I think the green spur is a bit too dark. This may make the photo a bit too heavy at the top, especially when the rocks at the bottom is not heavy ennough (not dark enough).

     

    I think you may try to walk down to the beach :P and take this photo in a lower angle to create a deeper perspective. On the other hand, I think you may try to either include more the bay + beach on the left or the rocks on the right, such that we may either see the more intact landscape of the beach + spur or focus our attention on the rocks + clear water (without the distracting deep green spur).

     

    Also you may also try longer exposure to make the water more silk-like.

     

    It's just my personal opinion. I am not an expert in landscape anyway.

    What do you think?

     

    Regards.

    Alan,

     

    I am really excited to receive your first 7/7.

    I planned to take this shot after I have bought my flash (Nikon SB800), in order to experiment my flash.

     

    At first I tried to take photos without the flash and get some approximate exposure of the "glowing tail". Then I tried to get the approximate exposure of the flash'd image by taking the static hand-held paper strip. Finally, I tried to combine both of the exposure data and tried the rear curtain flash mode. I have tried about 5 times, beginning with a shorter exposure time.

     

    Focal length: 50mm

    F-number: f/9

    Exposure time: 1/2s

    ISO: 250

     

    Finally, I have enhanced the contrast by a little bit in PS.

     

    Once again, thank you for your affirmation. Do feel free to browse my portfolio and leave comments.

     

    Regards. John

    Thank you for you comemnts.

     

    In fact, originally I chose a shallow DOF in order to focus on the red curly head of the violin, with the strings as the guiding lines.

     

    I agree that I may try to increase the DOF to show a better definition of the knobs. But for the strings, I still prefer to leave it blurred.

     

    What do you think?

     

    Regards.
