Brooks' Photos

[GrauGeist]

Went back out this evening for a little while and shot the moon again.(I still don't think I hit it.) I DO NEED to get a remote trigger to get whats left of the fuzz out of the details.

Out of curiousity, does your Camera have a delayed shutter option?

In my Pentax's shutter menu, there's a a two-second delay feature that raises the mirror and waits two seconds before opening the shutter. This is the setting I use when I'm going for moon photos.

I use a 5 second timer function, like you would use for self portraits. Once I have everything set with the tripod, I hit the shutter and the 5 second delay allows any shake to settle down.

I used the mirror lock and a 10 second delay on the shutter button. The mirror is suppose to lock when the shutter button is pushed to the preshot but it locks when the second step of the trigger is pushed. Don't know why. Still, they came out better than any of the other moon shots I've taken.

They came out alright Aaron. Certainly the more practice you have with them the better they will get

Thank you Gnomey. Ok Eric, It took me a while and a lot of patience but I think I finally got the mill so I can get it to the site. Keep your fingers crossed.

HUH, what do you know, it actually worked.

Thank you, thank you. ( as he bows ) Now I just have to remember what the h#l! I did to get it here.

 

[Gnomey]

Came out nicely Aaron, good job!

I knew that shot would look great in sepia, and it really looks fantastic!

Thank you Eric and Gnomey. Been having trouble with Vista and have been having a time transferring shots out of PSE 7. I think Microsoft is actually looking into it for me so it may get easier I hope.

The subject matter looks natural in Black and White.
The only thing that keeps it from looking like a picture that was taken 100/150 years ago is that it isn't all cracked.

And the car parked out front.

That blended in real nice in the B&W photo.
I missed it completely.

The car can be "brushed" out...I still think that's a printable pic!
