This photo is shot about 1 hr back. Here in Binghamton its a snow storm alert starting Tuesday night ending till Thrusday night. Very cold and this is my first try going out in the snow to get some photos. I took this shot using 70-200mm lens at 81mm, ISO 200, f/5.6 and 1/180 sec. I increase the Exposure compensation by +2 stops.

Day 7/365 – Moon

Day 7/365 – Moon, originally uploaded by mssphotos.

On a full moon day I tried to capture but failed several time with over exposed. Finally after reading some articles online this is what I did.

The moon was shot several stops under exposed. Then using the Canon DPP software, increase the contrast to bring the exposure back and also played with brightness a little bit. This helps to make the background solid black and highlights the moon to the audience giving more details to the craters, etc.

With canon T1i, ISO 200, taken at 200mm using 70-200 mm lens, at F/10, 1/200 sec.
