Shoot The Moon!I shoot rocket streaks, why not Moon streaks? This is a 20-minute exposure of the moon rising over Lake Santa Fe last night, the Super Blue Moon. Don't worry, I've got some creative "blue" edits of moon shots coming. The single exposure of the streak was doable because of my "Lee Big Stopper", a 10-stop neutral density filter that cuts down the amount of light entering my camera. Think of solar photography, how photographers use filters to cover their lenses so they can safely image the sun. Same concept here, but not nearly as strong of a filter. It allows me to keep my camera shutter open for very long periods, in this case, catching the entire process of the Moon rise! Note how the color changes from an early Moon to a later Moon. At the very same time, I was shooting with my second camera to catch a time lapse of the rise. I obviously need more practice at it, but I thought I'd share them anyhow. As always, shares and comments appreciated. Its my first Moon streak, so I appreciate feedback.
