The Super Moon, shot May 6, 2012.
Shot May 6, 2012.
I was learning how to do nighttime photography, and there were several hours of post production done in order to bring out the craters on the moon from the slightly blurry photo taken with a 1300mm manual focus lens.
Shot June 23, 2013.
This photo had 3 minutes of post processing performed on it — because it was shot in RAW format, and needed to be converted to JPG format. This photo was taken with the same camera (Canon Rebel T3i) and the same 1300mm manual focus lens.
The 2012 photo also had the moon “moved” to center it in the frame, whereas the 2013 photo did not have the moon moved.
I find it interesting that the time of the camera shot (2012, 10:13pm EST; 2013, 10:43pm EST) as well as the fact that the “Super Moon” appeared 1 month, 17 days later shows the rotation of the impact craters on the moon.
Silver Blue, who agrees…one small step for man…

I’ve posted this photo before, in a time when I wasn’t doing much photo manipulation. This was taken in February 2007 in the backwoods of North Carolina.
Silver Blue, who thinks so many places crumble before being captured by camera….

This photo was taken at the base of a bridge in Tappahannock, VA, in the summer of 2012. I call it “On wind and waves…” because the birds seem equally at home on either.

…has two seasons. Winter, and Summer. It’s either freezing cold, or scalding hot. Rare that we get a spring or an autumn.
Because of this (and because we had ice/sleet last week, and upper 80s this week), I decided to share a nice lazy day from Virginia Beach.

….in the Springtime.
(C) 1982 F. John Barker III
I was 13 years old. Paris was beautiful, and to my eyes (and my Kodak 126 camera), there just wasn’t enough time (or film) to be able to capture all the memories I wanted to.
Silver Blue who reminds you to make every moment count.
