G+ Photowalk May 4-7: Yosemite National Park - A World Heritage Site, one of the world's most incredible landscapes - Lunar rainbows ("moonbows") - waterfalls at peak flow - dogwood trees blooming by the Merced River - Spring wildflowers - reflections in Spring pools & the Merced River - full moon night landscapes The second photowalk in my series this Spring, again coinciding with the full moon to maximize shooting opportunities, will be to Yosemite National Park. This is one of the most spectacular landscapes in the world, and with lunar rainbows and night, full waterfalls, and wildflowers and trees blooming, this is arguably the best weekend of the year to visit. Feel free to RSVP or ask questions here, or for more information in a post which won't get buried, I've set up a post under a new Yosemite page at this link, where I'll maintain all the latest logistical details: https://plus.google.com/u/0/b/116372553458318494396/116372553458318494396/posts/ct...
this is pretty cool! but, yes.. how did you do it?
ReplyDeleteI had one camera taking long star trails shots with a wide angle lens, and the fading moon left a white and then red smear. I had a second camera with a telephoto lens taking the moon shots. I deleted the moon smear and substituted some of the still shots of the eclipsing moon into places there the moon had passed while eclipsing. I wouldn't say it's 100% accurate; it was simply an attempt to illustrate in simple terms how the event progressed.
ReplyDeletethanks for the explanation, the photo rocks!
ReplyDeleteQuite fun!
ReplyDeletePretty smart way to capture two events at once!
ReplyDeleteSo those moon shots would have taken a month to shoot?
