teglis Offline Image Upload: Off p.1 #1 · #303: Conifers at Dusk For something so ubiquitous, I found this a surprisingly hard subject. But I'm impressed with the quality of the posts so far. Here is my attempt. As always, suggestions welcome. 2008-07-15: Edited to replace the image with the second attempt. Time is running out, so I consulted the ultimate authority: my very supportive wife. She definitely prefers the second one, so now it's my submission. -- Rich Edited by teglis on Jul 15, 2008 at 08:27 PM GMT Edited on Jul 16, 2008 at 01:27 AM Jul 15, 2008 at 12:40 PM

Steve Spencer Online Image Upload: On p.1 #2 · #303: Conifers at Dusk Hi Rich, Beautiful shot. I like the composition a lot. Good luck this week. Steve S. Jul 15, 2008 at 03:09 PM

Strad Offline Image Upload: On p.1 #3 · #303: Conifers at Dusk Interesting shot, Rich. I like the atmosphere a lot. I wish you coould have stopped down changed your shutter speed or aperture to get an in-focus, not-blown-out moon, but that is really picking nits. Photographing trees iin an artistic way s very difficult. Good job! All best wishes, Endre Jul 15, 2008 at 05:17 PM

And as a matter of fact, I shot it with different apertures, all the way down to f/40. Only problem is that most of those were quite underexposed, and the moon was moving the whole time. Moreover, it's shot at 300mm and there's enough distance between the trees and the moon that the latter is not quite in focus even at f/40. I liked the composition of the version posted primarily because of the position of the moon. But your comment spurred me to go back and try one of the others. What do you think? Arrgggh, now I have to make a decision. Thanks, Rich Jul 15, 2008 at 10:00 PM

Strad Offline Image Upload: On p.1 #6 · #303: Conifers at Dusk I must say I also prefer the second one, Rich. I really like the cloud wafting across the face of the moon yet the focus is still the trees. Still, in a situation like that, why not try combining them - the moon from this one and the trees from the other? Then you could REALLY be confused. This one is lovely, though. I'm glad my suggestion was helpful. All best wishes, Endre Jul 16, 2008 at 04:00 AM
