So on our recent vacation in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan I also attempted some moon shots. Returning to camp late on wednesday the sky was clear and the moon just risen over the lake we were camping by (The Blind sucker Flooding). I tried to snap pics of the moon over the lake, but the moon was always over exposed.
I noticed that on even the shorter exposures a star is also visible. So I swung the camera around and pointed it up at Cassiopeia which hung large above the camp and used the longest exposure time of 15 seconds. I've never got star pics before, but up there there are no real cities, and hundreds of miles of Great Lake, so the sky is very clear. I noticed in that picture that you can also see the tree, so I s wung the camera a round to the weir that forms the Flooding. This is the unadulterated pic. Pretty neat I felt for just moonlight. With a little post enhancement of brightness and contrast you get this. I'm surprised to see color, you can still see the stars too. This is the weir from much the same spot in the morning. |

Cool that you can see streaks from the stars' movements even with only 15 seconds. The earth spins fast.

Same here with the slightly wobbly tripod, just pressing the button on the camera wiggles it a bit. I found that holding the button down and taking several pics in quick succession gives me good/crisp results on the third shot.

Using the self timer works well too, just set it for 3 or 5 seconds. My old Nikon DSLR camera had an infrared remote available, not sure if your model (Sony?) has that.

My tripod isn't the sturdiest either. When I'm shooting something where I need the camera to be absolutely still, I set a two second timer which gives the camera and tripod a chance to steady itself after I have pressed the shutter lease.

When I noticed my new Christmas camera had a two second timer, I thought why in the hell would I ever want a two second timer?
I use it all the time.

A few of my favorite photos I took last weekend at a friend's 50th birthday party. Yeah, she has a small farm.

Is this horse named Eileen? Or is there liquor involved?

It's not level. Look at the trees and the building in the background.

Every time I saw that horse, it had the gangsta lean going. I know the corral wasn't quite level, but I think it might issues.....

Maybe it's the penned up horse equivalent of the 'prison pose'?

These little guys were rooting around my patio (during my stay at the Polynesian in Disney World), so I came out to get a better look and they were tame enough to eat out of my hand. However, when I tried to touch them or pick them up, Mama would fly at me - actually hit me in the chest. The pics were taken with my cell phone.
