By starlight


A few nights ago it was so clear that I had the urge to go take some night shots. Jenny had suggested going to the temple at night and so I headed over there. I wanted to get the stars or the moon in the shots with the temple but had some lighting discrepancies with that. Moon was so bright that any exposed photo blurred it, stars bright but not big enough to show up in anything not exposed. Temple was lit up like a 90 year olds birthday cake, so I just went with the temple and will have to work on the moon and stars at the beach, or get my telescope working. All in all it was a fun night and I liked a few of the pictures. My new 50 mm lens came in handy with the f/1.8 as did the fisheye with being 10.5mm. I believe these are both fisheye shots, the 50mm ones were taken in the grass (mud rather) and I was a bit unsteady on them. Played with the white balance a bit and the marble started to change colors on me, going really red or really green. I liked the hint of red. All the flowers are open now, there are so many tulips and daffodils....It oozes Easter. I'm hoping on one of my next free days it will be nice and sunny and I can get some day shots to contrast these ones.
