Moon and Lights

2009-12-02 Tonight is a beautiful full moon! I set out to shoot it with my utterly insufficient 200mm lens, so I had to frame it somehow to make it interesting. These lights are in a parking lot near my house. I cranked the aperture to f/36 and exposed for the moon and let the lights blow out a little while giving a star effect. In post I adjusted the white balance for the moon and upped the clarity on it with the adjustment brush in LR. Also, my Yosemite photos are up! Not captioned or geotagged yet, but they will be soon.
