This was taken last September when I was in Rockport teaching at the Maine Photographic Workshops, I had been invited over to dinner at the house of a former student who lives in Rockport (thanks, Amy!). The view from her back terrace was stunning. All the more so when the full moon rose above some low clouds on the horizon to put on a spectacular show.Photographer Brenda Tharp was also there and we both had our tripods out the minute we realized the moon was about to perform.
But as beautiful as this was, things got even more interesting a little later as a storm moved in farther up the coast and we had both a full moon, interesting clouds and lightning in the distance. I'll try and post one of the those shots tomorrow or the next day. This image is a 5-second exposure at 100 ISO. It was processed in Lightroom but I really didn't do much to it except for a little bit of a contrast adjustment and a slight increase to the Vibrance slider.
A big thank you to Scott Kelby, and also the good folks over at Photoshop News, who both mentioned The Creative Digital Darkroom
*Upcoming Workshops *
My next workshop will be a 5-day class called The Creative Digital Darkroom, March 17 - 21 at the Palm Beach Photographic Centre in sunny south Florida. Based on the new book, this hands-on class is focused on exploring essential creative digital darkroom techniques for photographers. Short photo field sessions will also be featured on some days to practice critical exposure skills with digital SLR cameras. Click the course title above to learn more or to register for this class.
