At 3,849 feet, Mt. Diablo is not that high, but its location makes its viewshed spectacular. On a clear day you can see the Sierra Nevada, Yosemite's Sentinel Ridge, all 8 bridges on the SF bay and Mt. Lassen from the visitor center at the top. This is shot from the east side (Sac River Delta).

This photo I took while playing around on the Ice over Lake Michigan from Atwater Beach. Just North of Milwaukee. The Ice went out over 500 feet, I wish I did a better job of showing the scale of this.
Atwater Beach by Reuben Neese, on Flickr I also tried to do a little time-lapse with a GoPro, so I threw this little video together. I'm new to video editing and keep trying to come up with projects that force me to learn it. Constructive criticism is always welcome. |

I like both the video and the still.
I think that the wide-angle lens of the Go-Pro did show the vastness pretty well. I wonder if you'd been able to shoot from a few feet higher if that would have shown more, but it works as is.

Waxing Gibbous Moon © by dcstep, on Flickr Interesting to count craters to see the difference a day makes.

Total lunar eclipse this Saturday morning for the West Coast, Ed. Get your timer ready. You might see it, too, DC. If the moon doesn't drop behind the mountains before the eclipse starts.

No doubt.
I'm thinking that the Blue Hour is a much better time to shoot the moon. The deep blue sky just looks better and I think the lower differential between the bright moon and dark sky makes it easier to pull out detail in the moon.

I was actually shooting in the golden-hour, about 1-hour before sunset. I really think the single most important key, besides focal length , is the angle in the sky. As you get up at 45-degrees and higher, you're shooting through less and less atmosphere, yielding sharper and sharper images. I shot this same moon and hour or two earlier and it wasn't near so sharp. In daylight, like my shot, you shoot around 0EV, but as it gets darker you need more and more -EV. I end up at -2EV in some situations at night. Dave

We save that for the guys that lug around a 70-200/f2.8 and then always shoot from f/4 to f/8.
