Conjunction of Heaven and Earth
Posted by Craig (Vacaville, California, United States) on 15 January 2008 in Plant & Nature and Portfolio.
Note: This is a composite image of two previous posts. A quite a few people wanted to know how I did yesterday's shot. If you send me a request (so I have your email address) through my "Contact" form below, I'll try to put the details together and email it back to you by the end of the week. I sure appreciate everyones comments!

Great image - I will be asking you for "lessons" on how you did it. One problem with the image may be the part of the moon that is lit up - if the sun is over the horizon shouldn't the bottom part of the moon be illuminated (and not the top)? Sorry to pick on a beautiful image - the scientist in me.....

@Chris: It probably would have been more appealing to you if I would have titled it, "Binary Star Activity." So as to appeal to the scientist in you. :0) Then everything would have made sense.

Wonderful pp, Craig!! Love it! But I do have to agree with the above that yesterday's was better... and I do have to admit I didn't know yesterday's was a comp!! You're a sneaky one!! LOL

This is a great capture Craiger. So the stats on the sony say 6mm, that must be some type of fixed lens? Anyway, it takes nice time exposures. Congrats.

@Oswegan: The sky and cloud image was taken with my Sony H5 last summer. It has a 12 x fixed zoom lens that goes from 6 mm to 78mm. In 35mm terms, the 6 mm translates to about 35mm (wide angle). The shot of the moon was taken with my new Sony H9 which has a 15 X fixed zoom lens. But, I added a 1.7 X tele-converter to it giving me an effective 790mm lens (in 35mm terms). Thanks for all your comments Oswegan!!!

Si on tend un peu la main, il semble que l'on pourrait toucher du bout des doigts cette lune si proche et si lointaine à la fois ...
