6 Uses For High ISO Settings You May Not Know About Jeff Meyer, Digitalcameraworld.com

"SUPERMOON" last night (7/11/14).

Took some with a clear sky easily the last full moon. THIS TIME... played with ISO (some are up to 3200) and a variety of shutter speeds. Figured aperture needed to be f22-322 (maybe flawed logic?). Anyone have tips on this for getting the detail in the clouds and the details in the moon? Seems you expose for one or the other? (note: these are lower res JPG also).  I didn't want to composite in PS, nor did I want to shoot HDR. Didn't think ND filter would do anything either.

A great shot taken by a pretty great kid. He used a bridge camera to capture this spot  just feet away from busy traffic and city noise. The feeling of this lagoon-y area seems like the kind of secluded spot that you can refocus on life in.

Photographers know “Kelvin” as the system of arbitrary numbers we change in camera to correct our white balance. In this article, you’ll find out what it all means and how to use it for better photos. | Tags: White Balance, Color Theory, Photography Fundamentals, Color, Kelvin System, Physics

How to Capture Motion Blur in Your Photos

Photographing fast-moving subjects doesn’t always mean using quick shutter speeds. In fact, adding motion to your still images can enhance the look and feel of the speed. Corey Rich explains how to imply movement in photographs with simple panning: Rich, using a Nikon D4S and a Nikon 17-35mm ED-IF AF-S zoom lens, photographs mountain biker Jake Dorey speeding down […]

Just to picture-share with family, friends, and other folks who may "get me." I post when I  have enough stuff to justify it, and when I have enough spare time. The subject content is dependent on my daily whim, and hopefully something you'll find moderately cool. I may share the occasional cool article as well.

Atypical by Pawel Nolbert

Friday the 13th, 2014… the full "honey (or strawberry) moon," with mercury in retrograde.

Shot this almost last minute, just using an inexpensive basic zoom lens and a tripod (autofocus too on most of the shots, no less— I know, I know). It was at 180mm. No fancy telephoto, no telescope mount. The lower photo (longer exposure) shows my perch for a few of the shots. To cut the neighborhood porch lights, I actually shot  from between bushes and trees. From my angle the lights were almost all out of sight.

The top photo is the one I liked the best.

The middle two show a series of adjustments I made. I fired about 17 shots, and started a very small amount of post on them (primarily cropping tight to moon),
