#47/365 Behind the Trees

My first attempt at moon photography. It was a very clear night and I know that the moon would set behind a close mountain with trees on top. I’ve used my Sigma 100-300mm with a 1.4 extender giving me around 420mm and thanks to the 21MP, I was able to crop it tight.
EXIF Info: 1/30sec, f/10, ISO 200

#45/365 Strike!

I was planning again to shoot star trails tonight but I changed plans… :)

I shot this picture just about 30 minutes later than yesterday’s shot but it’s quite different – isn’t it?

#17/365 Divided

It’s still raining here in Switzerland with no end in sight. This spring (or is it supposed to be Summer) really s…cks big time. I shot this picture in the early morning while it was raining hard.

#17/365 Divided

Due to the heavy rain, there was almost no contrast in the scene so I really had to pull the Lightroom sliders to their limits. See below for the Before (RAW file) and After

#13/365 Sparkles of Light

Light was horrible but I knew I wouldn’t have time to shoot later in the day so I worked with what I got -> horrible light.

Due to the fact that the sun was still quite high I decided to include some sun-flares that should hit the rock near the water.
