The Giant Sun Sinks into the Tasman Sea

Despite what I said in the podcast, sometimes you do want to go beyond +2 to -2 ! I can't go through every caveat in those short soundbytes... but this exemplifies such a case. In this photo of the sunset over the Tasman Sea, off the coast of New Zealand, I did take 7 exposures form +3 to -3. Whenever you aim the camera right into the sun, you need to expose even more range than normal.

 

I am going back to New Zealand for about a month in October. It will be a blast! This time, I'll be spending most of my time on the South Island, exploring around... I hope to bring back more wonderful finds from the wild for you!

 

There's more, including video of my chat with Leo Laporte's The Tech Guy, here at the Stuck in Customs blog.
