Almost Huge Moon

08 May 2020 9 477
Taken as a test of a 300mm lens on the Panasonic Lumix GX85 (effective 600mm). Hand-held. This was taken in Arizona the day after a "maximum moon", so it is "almost huge". This is more interesting to me, because you can see shadows of craters, etc, which are not so clear in a full-on completely lit moonface. Processed with GIMP.

2017 Solar Eclipse at Totality

08 May 2020 5 2 437
Taken with the Panasonic Lumix GX85 at full 140mm telephoto, hand-held. (with Micro 4/3ds it is half-frame, so the 35mm equivalent here would be a 280mm telephoto) I used the same lens and camera settings when we experienced the April 2024 eclipse repeat in the USA.

Lunar Eclipse Composite

Series of photos taken with the Nikon D700 and 300mm telephoto, hand-held. This lunar eclipse was seen from Prescott, Arizona on a lovely, cold, night. Composite created with GIMP. (be sure to view on black and at full-sized) More photos at: swansongrp.com/P/p/night_narrative/index.html

Lion Yawn

26 Jan 2020 6 4 483
Taken during our 2018 safari in South Africa. We got to see a number of lion groups in the Kruger National Park area. This was taken with the Panasonic GX85 with a 200-400 telephoto, and then cropped with GIMP.
