It was cloudy so I had to do a little waiting at times for the moon to be visible. However, the clouds did produce some nice effects. These are two of over fifty shots I took…I love digital. The first shot is all from one exposure. It was way underexposed so I had to reduce the noise after I adjusted the exposure. The second image is a compilation of two exposures. One for the moon itself and the other for everything else. Check out Flickr where I have these same two shots with the moon artificially enlarged.

The current forecast calls for mostly cloudy skies during the 10:01 to 10:51 pm eclipse. This could produce a nice effect if the moon is visible through the clouds, or it could ruin everything. We’ll see.

However, what nature currently lacks in color it makes up for in texture. I took a few shots this afternoon in the woods, and texture was the name of the game.

The fact that, when closely observed, most things in life are more detailed than they appear from a distance appeals to something inside of me I can’t explain. I take joy when I find out that nearly everything humans attempt to do or study is more complicated than they initally thought. And it seems the more technology advances the more we are able to find out just how detailed things really are. One of the main reasons I enjoy watching the show Mythbusters on the Discovery Channel is their extensive use of high speed video cameras. These high dollar digital cameras can break life into incredibly small fractions of a second and as a result reveal stunning detail about what really goes on when objects interact in the world. They even use high speed cameras at golf tournaments so I can really see how Tiger’s swing is infinitely superior to mine. I guess this love of details also explains my interest in macro photography.
