moon palms

did some longer exposures on the tripod..

Wow man! How long did you leave it open on this one?

Epic. I love it. I love the sky and the moon in the shot. Great movement. I can only say that i wish there was a little more detail in the palm trees, but honestly this is great.

jk:

Very creative, great angle, colors are really nice against the palms. More detail in the moon would have made this a 10 but terrific as is. Nicely done!

cool stuff. exif says 30 seconds, f/2.8, 10.5mm fisheye on a d80. great shot. night must have been really calm to keep those trees from moving....

I was thinking the same thing, Brent. No wind that evening. i agree that i would like to see a bit more detail in the Palms, and that can be done easily. Great work!

WOW this is terrific.

Can't think of anything else to say, well I can't really, jaw is still on the floor.

i'm surprised...This was one I let sit for a couple weeks..in fact, after processing last nite my wife gave me the crtique of..."...ahhh, its ok" to which i promptly closed it and didnt save. Any advice on getting less halo more detail with the moon?

I keep coming back to this one. afdlips is spot on about the movement. The sky seems to swirl around the trees. I think you deserve a sticky here.

I don't think more detail in the moon would help this photo - I like it as is and more detail could loose the WOW Factor which this has.

You have a wife like mine - no taste in photography :rolleyes: :eek:

Very surreal. I like the shot, seems like the sky is revolving around the palms. I think it was a good idea to do a time exposure vs. a normal daytime shot. The only thing I'm not sure about is the moon, how it takes over the image somewhat. But what the heck - it worked.

This shot was around 10:30 at night ...veryyy calm...the 30 second exposure was why the moon was blowing out so much. Gave it a good 20 or so shots with different speeds and apertures. I wasn't happy with the framing but I wasn't going to wait up for a better angle....zzzzzz .....tired.
