Landscape, Nature And Travel Photography

Photography By Jim M. Goldstein

Lunar Layers

Finding art in nature is always a highlight to any moment I spend behind my camera. So often we get caught up in our day to day lives that the brief and special moments we observe are fleeting. A subject I cannot photograph enough is the moon.  The moon like few other subjects consistently captures my imagination.

Lunar Layers

This weekend I had the pleasure of using a Canon 800mm f/5.6 lens and made full use of it in capturing February’s full moon. With limited visibility due to fast moving storm clouds, a horizon level photo was not in the cards, but as the moon peeked through the clouds at sunset I was able to capture this composition (that mildly resembles a big eye in the sky).

Tecnical Info:
Canon 1Ds Mark III, 800mm f/5.6, 2240mm (800mm + 2xTC + 1.4xTC),  f/11, ISO 400, 1/160 sec

  • that is amazing. the moon is so big
  • You have some great photographs of the moon and this one is certainly excellent and different. I too am fascinated by the moon but have not been able to capture it well. My dad had one great moon photograph in Baja with strange Cirios Trees curling in odd directions in the foreground. I also like the one you did with the tree and field and the moon extra large. Any time you can capture the moon large, its interesting to me.

    Thanks everyone! I'll be sharing a few more images from the 800 soon enough. Unfortunately the weather here in San Francisco has not been too cooperative.
  • That is a massive moon! Looks like you had fun Jim.
  • OMG! Very nice. I think you should point that thing towards the nearest sun-sized star and begin a survey for earth-like planets!
  • This is a fantastic shot. Fascinated that the two loud layers are so different in color. Nice shot. I want an 800mm lens!
  • very mellow, JIm. unusual, ethereal and I like the pastel pallete
