Project (by) 8pm – 06/14/2009
So…I was lying in bed around 3am trying to sleep and failing when I looked out the window and saw some really cool cloud formations with the moon behind it.
I figured what the hell so I went downstairs and decided to give my camera some love that I haven’t given it in 2 weeks. I set up the lens and the tripod and the remote trigger and went out back to take the shot. But by then the clouds cleared up so I had a perfect opportunity to see just how well the new 70-200mm f/2.8L can do.
It did a great job getting this shot of the moon and all the details! I have cropped it quite a bit to get it this big even at 200mm but the details that it DID get are pretty impressive I think. I know everyone takes photos like this but I personally haven’t and I’ve always wanted to so it was neat for me!
I also decided, since I was outside anyway, to take a shot of the backyard itself. So here’s a shot taken at around 40mm using the 24-70mm f/2.8L lens at f/10 and an exposure of 30 seconds.
Ok. Now I’m going to try to get some sleep again. I’ll probably get up at like 9 after less than 4 hours of sleep, get breakfast, and try to stay awake for the rest of the night so I can sleep and be ready for Monday… Ugh…I HATE this…
