Sunrise And Full Moon

A few days ago I posted a sunrise photo that I took on an early AM walk. This photo was taken when I turned around. I was really surprised at how good the moon showed up in this iPhone shot. I just wanted to share.

Lunar Eclipse 2022

Last night I captured a few photos of the eclipse. They are a little dark, but very cool to see.

Moonset

The weather has been beautiful and we have been able to take photo hikes almost daily. Some days we do not see any wildlife. Then you have days like this one last week where we saw several beautiful birds, turtles and other cool creatures.

This day was extra cool because as we approached this fishing pond, we saw this amazing moonset. It was a beautiful sight. If you know me well, you know that after birds and landscapes, taking photos of the moon is one of my favorite photographs. Well, this photo is a combination of the two. The moon was in this exact position, but to get the size, I did some photo-magic. Enjoy.

Moon, Clouds And Night Sky

I shot this photo with my iPhone at about 3A. Yes, I was on the way to the gym. It came out beautiful.

Night Photography

This past weekend the view of the moon was amazing. I wanted to share this photo I took this with my iPhone at 5:35A The framing was not perfect, but it was very dark at this early hour.

I am very impressed with the night photo mode on my new iPhone. I previously blogged about this feature here. It is so amazing.

Look at the photo above. You can even see the clouds in the night sky. This is computational photography at its best. Very impressive.

So, what does that mean? In this case, the iPhone collects image data from three lens. That data is sampled many times for a longer period of time. This photo was sampled over a 10 second window. This is not a long exposure image .. it is several photos that are merged over time to create a final image. Kind of amazing. It’s still a night shot, but you get something very different.

The second photo was taken mintues later with my big boy camera (my DLSR camera with my sigma 600mm lens). A very differnet type of photo.
