Just two today – or is it three? How does one count these accurately? I don’t want to get in trouble with the IRS…<\/p>\n

\"adult
This one comes from the same session as these<\/a>, but I didn’t notice this detail until I had brought the image up at full resolution to see if it retained critical sharpness. I don’t recall the pair of circling bald eagles (Haliaeetus leucocephalus<\/em>) to be making any noise, but a sequence of images seems to show otherwise;<\/strong> maybe I’d tuned it out, maybe I’d lost it in the wind noise off of the lake. They definitely look more dynamic when the beak is open – and probably more representative of our nation as well. Is he saying something about getting to the moon without using the metric system, you think?<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, an image back from the total solar eclipse<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"last
As the sun was disappearing with totality beginning, I just held the shutter release down and fired off a long sequence of images as it vanished;<\/strong> this is the last one in the series. I had only guesstimated the exposure needed (intending to capture the diamond ring) and was well under-exposed, but it does show Baily’s Beads disappearing, and the barest hint of a solar prominence. It’s framed this way for a reason, however, because I then played with the exposure after the fact:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"last
I was curious to see if I could make out the outline of the moon in the weak coronal effect, and I could – it’s grainy, but the outline is there. Two more prominences became visible as well.<\/p>\n

Now, a small note:<\/strong> I originally edited and uploaded the eclipse post while working remotely on a laptop (of sorts,) but when I got back home and looked at the posted images on my routine desktop computer, I found that I could make out twice as much detail. I’d actually gone into the monitor settings for the laptop, before I left on the trip, and set them for a much better display, though I didn’t have a decent calibration image handy when I did so. My desktop monitor is clearly much better, though, and I’m not sure if this is solely due to being calibrated better, or if it’s a higher quality display – or both. But for your sake, if you can’t make out a faint outline all around the moon in the last image, your contrast or gamma settings could probably stand tweaking. And if you’re a photographer, it’s definitely a useful thing to have these set as well as you can manage<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
