Pine Cone Watching the Moon
Posted: Fri Jun 22, 2012 6:13 am
While preparing to take a shot of the night sky and water at Jinhae Bay, I found this lone pine cone lying on the deck; I moved it to the rail to allow it to get a better view of the moonset.
This is a 30 second time exposure with the camera on a tripod and the exposure manually set for the sky. While the lens was open, I tried my hand at light painting by holding my speed light and walking around setting it off several locations to light the deck, the rails and the trees. The moon was in the sky, but was setting fast and was down behind the mountain when I finally captured this right shot. I used a moon shaped brush that I had previously downloaded as a part of an eye retouching brush set to bring it back into view.
