moon

Another one from last fall over by Steamboat Springs in Colorado. I had seen the large moon in the sky and was chasing it a bit until I could find a good area. I had stopped and took a few shots in the original area but got bored with it and drove a bit more until I came to a ridge with some...

This was taken on a trip last fall to Steamboat Springs, though this shot if I remember was more down by Grand Lake on the way back to my daughters house, but I could be mistaken. I cropped some of the blue sky above the clouds already going with a 4:5 format crop. Also I was not able to get...

I know I am totally stealing Dave's title, but it was so cool and the moment I saw his photo, it reminded me of one I took 2 weeks ago but hadn't processed. The same night as I was coming back from Sequoia and chasing the moon rise, one of the places I stopped was a small town that had birds on...

On the night of the 4th of July I kept watching for the eclipse and granted it was supposed to be just a shadow that looked like a mouse had taken a bite out of the moon, but I never saw it. This was around midnight I think. Nikon D850 in DX mode Tamron 150-600mm with 1.4 extender @ 600mm All...

A lot of firework displays were canceled as Amy mentioned in her thread. I found a listing of 40 of them still being put on in Colorado. As I scrolled through the list the one thing I had in my mind was with the Prenumbral Lunar Eclipse happening after sunset, I thought perhaps I could shoot the...

From a few days back at Full Moon. The old oil rig isn't in motion, but the moon is. The problem with using the 720nm IR filter on my Nikon D850 instead of using a camera converted for Infrared is that it's like shooting with a 20 stop ND filter I think. My exposure was 30 seconds in this, which...

This one is from last week out in the area by Antelope Valley Poppy Preserve. While waiting for the Milky Way to rise up over the hill I had a camera set up in the opposite direction to capture the Crescent Moon. With shooting at night, even if the moon is small and crescent shaped any exposure...

This is the same Waxing Crescent Moon I posted yesterday but combined with the shadowed part of the moon. While I was shooting to expose the Crescent shape properly, I also bracketed down and overexposed to pull detail out of the shaded area of the moon. This is probably about 4 stops of...

The other night I ran down to a hill area that overlooks the beach to catch the moon right at sunset and into Twilight to capture it before the background sky got too dark, knowing the sky would go dark anyway as I exposed for the moon. This is a single shot. Nikon D850 in DX Mode Tamron...

It's raining more then it's not here in Southern California so with the stay at home order from the Coronavirus I wasn't able to get anywhere to capture the Super Pink Moon 2 nights ago. But I peaked out about 10pm last night and saw a break in the clouds and saw the moon. I grabbed my D850 and...

The Devil's Backbone is a structure that I have seen what seems like hundreds of times as I drive up into the Rocky Mountain NP on HWY 34 from my Daughters house. Always in too much of hurry I zip by it, but when Alisa had bought some new lenses when I was in Colorado and she needed help in...

Well, actually the tree isn't moonlit, but the title sounded cool... :) The tree is lit by dozens of cars zipping by at 55mph just about 20 feet behind me. So the mood wasn't exactly tranquil, but the end result felt that way. Besides it did feel awesome to get out and shoot! Being at my...

I saw this the other night, we had a pretty cool sunset going off and the sky was still bright enough to get nice detail on the moon. I liked how it looked like the clouds were erupting towards the moon as if they were trying to chase it. This was shot with the Sony A6400 and the 18-135mm lens...

So here in CO we got hit with our first blast of winter yesterday. My wife Claudia and i had managed to get up to the high country this past weekend though, for a last chance at some of the changing leaves up here in the northern part of the state. We stayed the night in Breckenridge and tooled...
