Blue Moon

Technically speaking, blue moon for 2007 was May 2nd, but I’ve been feeling quite blue lately …

Took my old Canon 10D out yesterday. This was the first time that I put a GND filter on my 70-200, and I like the end result. I didn’t have to shoot the moon separately and combine two exposures.

Moonrise over Alaka’i Swamp

After the shadow covered the Kalalau Valley, I picked up my tripods and walked towards the Pihea Trail. This is what I saw … a full moon rising over the Alakai’s Swamp … I just stood there for a moment and took it all in .. .behind me, darkness slowly crept in; in front of me, a golden full moon rose above the clouds as twilight was fading …

Moon & Slow Surf

Been traveling. Haven't shot anything new. Here's a shot taken last week. I think I need to stack up multiple split ND filters to get the moon properly exposed with a slow shuttle speed. Will try similar shot again after getting more filters.
