The moon

Nikon D3, 35 mm, 30 sec, f/14, ISO 200

I was down at the beach tonight, just to shoot something. The moon was also up so I tried to do something interesting with that instead of shooting straight into the sunset. Had both a ND4 filter and a polarizing filter on my camera to get the longest exposure possible to flatten the water. I would have used only a ND8 filter if I had one.

I actually lowered the saturation on this one (that’s a first for me). It’s still really blue but it was way to blue before. I don’t know where the idea of making this a vertical panorama came from (if that’s what you call it) but it works great for this image I think.

That’s basically all I did in post-processing on this one. Oh, I almost forgot, I also removed 48 dust spots. Yes, I counted them. I’m cleaning my sensor tomorrow.
