eclipsed moon flood

    Ya had to know I was gonna try this. Sadly my camera wasn't really up to shooting the eclipsed moon in detail like so many of the other great shots we're seeing on flickr right now. Nonetheless, I am compelled...as usual, the moon is real while the water and reflection are simulated using the flood filter.

    Camera: Casio EX-P505 on tripod
    Exposure: 2.5 sec (5/2)
    Aperture: f/3.4
    Focal Length: 31.5 mm
    Exposure Bias: 2 EV

    I hope those of you who could see it took the time to check it out. We had a perfectly clear night here, and the naked-eye viewing was great.

    There is an amazing flood of moonshots on flickr right now if you look at the "everyone" stream on your home page.

      Yeah, I didn't even try...lack of equipment.

      Yours turned out nice though, especially with the flood. :)

      My shots turned out really poorly (it's about -20 here, so I blame the fact I couldn't feel my fingers). Love the water...

      This is amazing

    30. SheffieldStar (52 months ago | reply)

      Best one I've seen so far. A beamer. The cloud cover in SFBA largely eclipsed the eclipse. Two for the price of one. And I might as well pictured a traffic light if I was waiting for anything to turn red. Nice work, as I expect from you. Keep on bowling.

      cool stuff

    32. Tom Olliver (52 months ago | reply)

      Beautifully taken! The water really helps the photo.

      This is brilliant!! You should see the rubbish I shot at 4h45 this morning trying to take a shot. What you have done is to add another dimension to the moon by giving it a reflection. Just the most brilliant thing. You are very, very, very clever.
