What does this button do?

Here is a slide show of a couple hours of standing out in the cold drinkin beer shooting the... umm.. moon.

Man I wish I had a mega SLR! Next time.


But... This was what I have so......

Towards the total eclipse of the moon I opened up the exposure time on the camera and then give a human eye view along with it, thats why it bounces all over the place but this is how the moon exposed himself to me that night. Enjoy!!!

Moon lighting

Was planning for month to go out to a farmers field on Feb 20th to shoot the moon.

Plans rarely work for me so I ended up doing this from my own back yard, and even then it was a fight. Everyone decides to turn there outside lights on a night that the moon puts on a show for us. It happened in the last meteor shower so wasn't surprised.



I took 78 shots that night, and I got I think 8 shots that made me smile, so 10% is really good for me, I often take 100 shots and like 3 (thats 3%). Oddly, 5 or so of the ones that I liked are mistakes I made. And that too is often the case, I`ll try so hard for a shot that I block out a potential shot or my camera sees something I don`t.


Anyway. here are a few shots I liked, and i`ll post a slide of the eclipse as I saw it, remember I took 78 or so shots and this movie only uses a small number of them.





Sometimes mistakes are good.
