Don't forget to take the ND off occasionally and take a "realistic" shot. Sometimes it's harder to impress with reality. If you can get killer shot that real, then the long-exposure version will have more power. In other words, don't let the focus on long exposure lead you to short change your composition.

Good point on taking the "realistic shot". I have wasted time on shots with 8 min exposures + 8 min of in camera processing when some test shots would have probably told me not to do it! |

I shoot everything in RAW, and then I use SilverEfexPro as a plugin to do all my B&W conversions from Photoshop. |

Pt. Reyes today, the absolute closest I have ever gotten to a GHO.

Although we are already more than 3 weeks after the longest day, sunset here is still after 10pm.
I went down to our local West Beach just before sunset as the sky looked interesting. It was still warm and there were plenty of people still down on the beach. This shot was taken just before 10pm looking across The Moray Firth towards Dornoch and the mountains of Easter Ross.

Nice shot Ed.
I saw that, ran to get my camera and then a cloud covered until the moon went down. Oh well.

My brother called and asked if I was going to get a shot. I ran outside and saw this cool shot, but the moon was just about down behind the trees across the street. By the time I found a charged battery (argh!!!) and got my big lens mounted, it was too late. I did grab a few images, but the dew point here is well into the 70's and I was already underexposed, so they're useless. I needed to be setting this up on a tripod about 30 minutes earlier. Oh well.

I haven't posted in a while! I'll hope to have plenty of shots to share in the near future. Deployment was fun, but vacations are going to be better
Here's an adventure I had with my buddy the other day, I thought the shot turned out alright. It was very impromptu, he and his sister just returned from one of the trails and had the camera sitting by, snapped the shot in haste. David Jeep by Shane

I had too much lens and couldn't keep the whole thing in frame. I am not as used to handling the big Canon with a 500 on it these days since getting the much lighter Sony setup.

That's a high-class problem. I think getting that much detail on a bird with prey, offsets the technical preference to have the whole bird in the frame. Focus on the bird and the prey is what's important here, and you nailed it, Ed.

BTW, are you safe from this round of fires out there, Ed?

California scrub jay. While this photo was taken in Sonoma, I now have one of these terrorizing the squirrels, insects and other birds in my back yard.
