Neal comes in tonight, as I'm reading misc blogs, to tell me to come look at the moon. Oh, pretty clear and is a orange/yellow color. So what is a photographer to do? Run and get the camera, tripod and cable release. I go in the backyard, set up and fired off a few. I'm not happy, doesn't look good on lcd screen. Neal, in the meantime, is behind me saying "I shouldn't have said anything". So I load them up anyway and pull up the RAW file. A RAW file is the digital "negative" for anyone who doesn't know. I start playing with the exposure and what to I see? Some detail of the moon coming back! Well crap, I have been overexposing them! I was thinking because it was dark and the moon was the only light source the SS should be REAL slow. Ha, evidently not! Doesn't it feel so good when you have that "AH HA" moment about something. So here I have my first respectable moon shot. Remember that lens I rented? Yes, that would have been perfect for this shot, I think. Oh well, have to use what ya got, right?
