It was the last resort, so I decided to RTFM. To disable interval 
shooting, turn the power switch to off.


Boy Howdy!  Poor design choice doesn't even come close.

If the K-3 is in interval mode, you can press menu and get it out of 
interval mode.  On the K-1, nothing that I do short of turning it off, 
will interrupt interval mode until it is done.  This really sucks if 
you don't get the exposure exactly right, or want to change it in the 
middle of the interval.


Side note, I left my tango class and it was overcast on my way to 
swing dancing.  Then halfway through the evening someone interrupted 
the dancing to say that the eclipse was almost full and the moon was 
peaking out from the clouds.

I agree with Larry..
Nice geometry and handsome bird - it's hell to get detail out of a black 
area and I don't think it matters a bit.. the composition and the brilliant

blue on him command our attention..

That's a very credible job on a really tough exposure. You've got
tremendous dynamic range between the black feathers and the bright
background, plus the really saturated blue wants to clip the blue
channel far too readily.  All of that on top of just getting a clear
shot of a critter.

Good job.

thank you for the nice words Larry. i was a little hesitant to post this
because the face was in the shadows and try as i might i couldn't pull

Re: PESO: Super Bloody Wolf Moon

2019-01-23 Thread Larry Colen

Has has been said, that's a very nice composite.

Did you position each shot in the frame. or is that how they all showed 
up in the same camera position?
They look like if they were in the opposite order the shadows on the 
moon would almost draw a circle .


John wrote on 1/22/19 8:52 AM:
So, I went out and stood in what felt like an Arctic Wind for 3 hours or 
so and took pictures of the moon. As usual, the instructions for how to 
do it right were at home on my desk waiting so I could find out 
everything I did wrong.


Still, I didn't muff it as badly as I did the Solar Eclipse in 2017.

https://flic.kr/p/2ehuNSE

K-1, Tokina AT-X Pro 80-200mm f/2.8 @ 200mm & F/16, ISO 100, various 
wrong shutter speeds so I didn't catch much of the red tint.


I was in town when I took these, right next to the parking lot for a 
city park. Raleigh, Cary & Wake County have been installing new LED 
street lights that don't cause as much light pollution as the old lighting.


I've noticed it a couple of times in the last year or so, driving back 
to Raleigh on the Interstate late some night when it's overcast there's 
less of a bubble of light over the city.

Is "rood" a typo for "hood" or "roof"?

It's rood. Mark drives everywhere in a mobile church.

Thanks for all the comments.  It was a lucky event, but unlucky that I was
using my iPhone rather than my K-5.  OTOH, if I was concentrating on the
sunset in my viewfinder, I probably would have missed the whale entirely.
