A couple of architectural elements distilled down to their 1950's and 60's essence. Both are from individual building next door to each other in San Gabriel, Calif. Jim Staub
Heard it was going to be the largest moon of the year. Terry saw it coming up from our window. Already late for photos, I said to myself. We got in the truck and headed to open sky near the local high school. There it was big and way too bright for any landscape photography. You need to get the moon low to the horizon or partial clouds to even out the brightness range of the full moon and the dark landscape. High Dynamic Range shooting could work too, but I haven't had much luck with the process. Parked and attached the camera to the tripod. Finally found a street-lighted Eucalyptus tree to make something interesting of that searchlight of a mega-moon. Jim Staub May 8, 2012
