It was getting late, but I wanted to take one last picture before we left Disneyland. :D

Update: I don't post to Flickr much these days, but I like this shot too much to pass up.

Happy New Year, Everyone!

Waking up at 4:30 AM isn't easy, but the coffee and cold weather keeps you awake.

This is my first attempt at capturing a lunar eclipse. The LCD preview looked great, but I found a 10 second exposure is way too long. During a long exposure, the moon travels just enough to become blurry.

An accidental capture at a short 6 seconds kept the moon relatively sharp. Enjoy!

Notes:
- Taken from the I-405 highway overpass on Irvine Center Blvd. (Irvine, CA)
- Processed in Topaz Adjust (Classic/Cool) and Lightroom (NYKF Subdued)

@ Stone Arch Bridge and River Parkway (Minneapolis, MN)

Melissa reminded me to take a picture of the Ferris Wheel at the nearby shopping center.

So I grabbed my camera and gear, trying my best not to bump into people with my over-sized tripod. This was also a good chance to try that Hoya NDx8 filter that I've waiting to use.

Camera: Panasonic GF1
Filter: Hoya MC NDx8, Sunpak CPL
