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...

ReplyDeleteBeautiful moon
ReplyDeleteLooks good
ReplyDeleteIts look like a ball and where're the stars?
ReplyDeleteColt Musta The moon is a ball (sphere). Eclipses happen during full moons, when most stars are not visible due to the light of the moon. Although much of the sun's light is blocked by the shadow of the moon, a lot of light is still cast onto the moon by the sun shining through the atmosphere around the earth. Even in eclipse, the exposure on this image tells me that the moon is 64X brighter than a dark night sky. The exposure I'd use to capture a dark night sky, when you can see a lot of stars, is six stops more sensitive. So there are stars which would appear behind the moon if I used that sort of exposure (if the ambient light in the sky isn't brighter than them), but they're simply not bright enough to show up at this exposure, in this amount of ambient light. Uranus apparently is bright enough, so it shows up.
