Neighboorhood Moon

Neighboorhood Moon, a photo by sponberg on Flickr.

I took a photo of the full moon rising over our neighborhood. I hit the tree with a strobe at the beginning of the 5" exposure.

Quaker in golden light

This is a photo of Popeye, my pet Quaker parrot. I took this photo as the sun was setting. I added a flash to really bring out the details.

I increased the shutter to bring down the ambient. I set the color balance around 3800k to make the sky a little more blue. I used a CTO on the flash to warm the light.

Exposure 1/250, f/8, ISO 200

Leaves with Waxing Gibbous Moon

This is a photo of leaves in my back yard, with a waxing gibbous moon. I used an off camera flash to bring out the leaves. Without the flash, they would have been just a silhouette. The flash was located high camera right.
