Blood Moon Eclipse
I always learn something when taking photos. Even though I have taken tens of thousands of them, I still manage to learn something pretty much every shutter click.
Tonight, I learned that to get the most amazing lunar eclipse photos, you need a motorized tracker that can match the earth's rotation.
So, without one of those devices, I had to bump up the ISO a ton, and bring the shutter speed higher than I really wanted.
But I still got a cool memory. This was right at peak (9:48 pm).
Some stats:
ISO 3200
1s shutter speed
f/6.3
Lens at 400mm
Image stabilization turned off
Shutter release
Shooting from live view so no lens movement at all
Long exposure noise reduction enabled
Processed in Topaz DeNoise to knock the noise down a bit, and Nik Sharpener Efex Pro to sharpen it back up after the noise reduction (I love that combination for sharp/low noise images).
