Live Every Moment

I am entering the photo of Dustyn below into Live Every Moments Black and White Photo challenge. I love his eyes and the way this looks in black and white. I showed the color one here.

A couple tips when taking photos of the moon. You do not meter correctly or it will just look like a white ball. I usually meter about 5 stops lower. I just play with it until I get detail but it isn’t too dark. Definitely use a tripod and a remote so you don’t get any camera shake. My settings were ISO 100 | f/20 | 1/25sec | 300mm

and then, she {snapped}

Not the greatest macro, but I like the details.

Here is a re-edit of this photo.

I am going to enter that into Faith’s Color photo challenge and Foto Fridays Love photo challenge. I love my baby boy.

    I usually mess with the shutter speed and use my 55-200 lens for moon shoots and yes metering isnt as important because its so bright. The shots are great!

    I love your moon shot! I was admiring the moon the other night on my drive home and really wanted to break out my tripod to take a pic but by the time I got home, my bed was of more importance. Hopefully one of these nights soon I will finally get to play around and try to get a pic of it. And those tulips make me happy-I love the colors!

    LOVE the moon shot. I tried & tried to capture it last night- I NEED a tripod. It was amazing- I have yet to download what I took & I am hoping it will be just as amazing tonight so I can try again. Unfortunately the much needed rain that I so love- is supposed to be coming in tonight- so I may not get another chance. I really appreciate you adding tips- capturing the moon is my #1 thing I want to learn how to do. :) Oh- & I love that shot of your son- you're right- the eyes are amazing in that one!

    oh wow! Your boys are so cute. I love how the eyes POP in your photos. That is my main goal right now is to master the EYE POPPING. Well with a camera.. not like popping out someones eyes.. LOL

    BTW, the color shot is great but your B/W conversion is amazing. Would you mind sharing some tips on how you process your photos at times too?

    Wow the shot of the moon is incredible. I have not yet gotten into "metering" another thing to add to the learning list ;) Great foto of your boys!
