Tony,

 

Thanks for your comments on my January Moon picture. I didn't pull an all nighter like Bill did :) Everything you said makes sense. I'd appreciate any information you want to send me on photographing the Moon (nairb59@insightbb.com). I'm not familiar with the delayed shutter release to minimize the vibration from the mirror - I'll have to see if my D400 has that capability. The one thing I did not see mentioned, which helped me "inadvertantly" avoid temperature variations from buildings, is to shoot the Moon when it is high in the sky. This will minimize the amount of atmosphere the light from the Moon has to travel through before reaching the camera. The funny thing is, I was thinking of photographing the Moon last night before I read all these posts - We were suffering the same kind of temperatures Bill was.

I like it! Excellent presentation! Also, thanks for the shooting details. I guess I don't understand the 3/3....

What Lennart & Todd said! Very dramatic!

Cool!!!!

The lighting, tones and color are Excellent. What and expression he has!

I love this shot! I love all your shots! Excellent ideas and a great job of making the ideas into images!

It scared me she was this high in the air!

Doug,

 

Thanks for the muse. I have a lot of pictures of the Moon, but I still enjoy taking them.

 

Francois,

 

This seems a little sharper to me when I did some quick comparisons. I still need to take the time to seriously compare them side-by-side. I imagine the cold air would make an even bigger difference in a place where pollution is more prevalent...

 

 

Wow! This really captures the Christmas Spirit. The colors are great, the snow "frosting" on the trees and garland are perfect, and the people in the scene add to the overall feeling.

I know - another moon post. I wanted to see of the cold January air

gave a better image than the warmer months.

 

Details: 1/200s, ISO 200, f/9 at 300mm on a tripod

I do like the other picture better...also, outstanding portfolio!

Nice picture and beautiful subject. I think you should have included some of the "aged effect" across the face; IMO the face is too clear in relation to the rest of the photo.

Thanks...

Comments please - I'm trying B&W per someone's suggestion. Thanks...

Wow! Excellent shot! This has better detail than the shot (The Cresent) you posted the other day.

Cool idea and well done!

Wow, great detail and great color! Nice composition with the background and the crop...

Very nice shot. I wonder if you would get even sharper detail by opening up the aperture and increasing the shutter speed. I know there's not much light on a cresent moon, but 1/40s seems slow. (I wish I had the 400mm lens.)

Very tranquil...

Very Cool!!!

Very nice tone to this photo. It looks rustic and painting like.

Nice composition. As Bill said, the camera doesn't matter. I used a 2 megapixel camera for work, taking pictures of test parts in the field. I was amazed at the quality of pictures the camera would take...

Excellent work!

Thanks....

Nice capture! The blue sky reflected in the water is beautiful...
