Photography
For the past several years, I’ve been tasked with taking pictures of the Desert Midwinter competition in Phoenix and I’ve learned a couple of things others might find helpful.
This image, with all camera controls on manual, is about 24 hours after the “super moon” maximum.
Taken with a tripod, manual exposure but, in the dark I didn’t record the settings, on a Fuji “too many controls” digital camera at “darn close” to the full moon moment. The image was cropped this morning and levels tweaked (well, “hammered” would be a better choice of terms) in Paint.Net, my favorite free image editing program. (Looks like I blew the focus. Or maybe, between enlargement in the camera and enlargement in Paint.Net, I’ve just run out of pixels. Regardless, it’s a done thing.)
The building, not the exhibits, caught my attention at the Air Museum in Wichita Kansas.
… is (again) exaggerated by the national news. The local news is more accustomed to this.
