moon, hiding behind



date taken: 2006/01/11 00:40:52 (eastern time)
camera used: canon powershot sd 200
focal length: 5.8mm
exposure: 1/8s
aperture: f/2.8
flash: used

moon hiding behind the branches of a tree at georgia tech campus. i clicked a lot of pictures of the moon, but this is probably the best. i know it is hard to capture the shining white circle, but my tries have finally paid off, i guess. i love how the yellow leaves are shining, but overall i like the complete picture - leaves, branches, and the moon surrounded by its bluish-white light.

    looks good but still am unhappy the way it turned out - i would've opted for a zoomed one here n more-so-over, a lil of tree only but then again, thats my preference n like always, am bent towards sky - so pardon me here :P

    Hansag doesn't realy mean anything. It's just a synthesis of a name and a word ^^

    Really like the "running to work" picture ^^

    A great shot! Wonder why didn't you post it vertically? And I should say that all the pictures posted here are wonderful. Keep up the good work!

    @Prasoon

    I wanted to capture the branches along with the moon. I do have 1 or 2 close-ups, I'll see if they are worth posting.


    @Niclas

    Actually, my brother's name is Hansag. I was wondering if you used it as your blog's URL due to a reason. In Sanskrit the literal meaning of Hansag translates to the creator.

    Thanks for you comment about the picture.


    @Steve

    Thanks steve. I did not take this picture vertically, it was taken horizontally [landscape view].

    Impressive. I think you have significantly improved over time in your pics. Just saw the archives and found that newer the picture the better it is.
