DOE NE WAP Conference

I was the official photographer for the Department of Energy North East Weatherization Assistance Program. Clicked off a 1000+ frames on four days! The hotel even wanted them for their marketing! Pretty cool stuff for a part-time photographer.

The picture is Thursday morning sunrise. Unfortunately, there's an exetremely complicated line of ownership on the conference pics. I might be able to post a few more and definitely post a link when we get them on the NYSWDA website.

Shoot for the moon!

My company just bought a new Nikon 90. I got to bring it home over the weekend and on Friday night just an hour before the full moon (12:01 AM Sat) I was out in the back yard with a hand-held D90 and 18-105mm VR kit lens. Here's the result:

Looks pretty good, for winging the settings. Here they are:

What do we know? Some cameras have great high ISO characteristics and we should use them. Shooting the moon is hard, because the exposure is all about the balance of the dark sky and the bright moon. Only 26 more days till the next full moon, so get ready to shoot the moon.
