Blue Moon over Carmel

photoblog-day-265.jpg

I shot this photo on Ocean Blvd. in Carmel. I did not think it would come out the way it did because there was so much stray light around. A person that walked by looked at my camera and then on the moon saying:” Oh, a blue moon!” I was more concentrated on the relatively fast moving clouds. Camera setting: f11, 5sec., ISO 100 at 250mm focal length.

Enjoy and have a great 2010!

Full Moon in December

We had full moon last night and and this presented an excellent opportunity to photograph the moon. In addition the air was relatively clean in the Central California valley and I was happy which what I got. I don’t have to mention that I used a tripod to get this shot but I need to mention that I was tinkering with a 30+year old M42 lens that I connected to my DSLR. I collect old lenses and I am always amazed how well they perform in comparison to my computer generated lenses.

Enjoy!
