apparently it’s caused by ice clouds in the upper atmosphere. all I know is it’s cold.
shooting the moon
Tuesday, November 3rd, 2009How I took this shot:
I took my camera, a Canon 50D and put it on my tripod. I set the camera to ISO200, 1/250 seconds, and f/8 aperture. I locked the tripod and focused on the moon. I use a 10 second timer so that the camera would be as steady as possible when the shot was taken. That’s all there is to it, bar cropping in photoshop.
