Not quite full moon, K-3 400 ISO, 1/500th sec, with 6 inch f/10 Meade SCT and Kenko KDS II geared head. SCT mirrors are not as contrasty, so had to play with boosting contrast and cutting saturation. Color is fairly accurate, giant dirt ball in the sky! Not as sharp as a refractor lens but nice interesting shades of dirt. The bright areas were really bright, maybe cut back on highlights too much in PP. Uncropped. |

Thanks to both comments. Never had used an in-camera HDR before so I used the lowest setting. Perfect use for it since the sun was bright at times and also in the "wrong" position in the sky creating deep shadows (early morning sun was non-existent). And there was little wind which helped the sharpness of the leaves/plants. This was only a 0.8 second base shot set to +- 2 EV. Can be fun to experiment.
Somehow, most use of HDR is in the realm of science fiction.....
:D
