The Moon

Posted by Jason on August 20th, 2011


The moon in transit, moving in real time across the frame. By “real time” I mean that the tripod was locked down and the camera was stationary, pointing at one point in the sky. All the movement here is caused by the motion of the earth and the moon.

Except for some of that shaking. I’m pretty sure that was caused by walking within 15 feet of the camera. Sorry about that.

Shot with a Canon T3i at 24fps, ISO 200 and a FD ƒ/8.0 500mm reflex lens in Brookly, NY.

    I love it! I think there are ways to match the objects in the frame for smoother movement? From Brooklyn… who would have thunk – with tons of ambient light and all.
