Moon II (#8663)

Comment by atsxus:
as with the other one, this one needs the shutter to be faster. You're right on with the Apeture and ISO, but the shutter should be at 1/250. Great job, though. What lense are you using?

this is a beautiful shot...however if you drop the ISO down to 100 or 200, you'll get more depth and less flat gray in the crevasses.

Parts of my arsenal

Originally posted by Artan: I Like the composition and I thik the 2 tone was the right choise - but I would prefer the blacks to be darker. By th way my Arsenal play at Highbury and are currently top of the UK Football (that's soccer to all you US citizens) Premier League

My first instinct was to have the blacks very dark, but then I lost the reflection of the 50mm on top of the 17-40, and I thought the reflection was quite nice.
The white dots on the 17-40 are not scratches but lint and dust, give a nice worn feeling to the image IMHO.

BTW your Arsenal just lost to Man City, after a long (49?) series without loss. That Rooney is a curse on Arsenal.

Thank you. I agree!!! :)
BTW the lumps on the middle of the island are navigational becons for sailors, painted bright orange, the orange was quite beautiful in the dusk but did not show up in my photo. I could not use a long exposure since I was on a moving boat and had no tripod anyway.

Seems like hot spot for IDPC these days. I would preferred a viewpoint more to the left to have more poles against the sky, but I don't know if it is possible.
