Full Moon Landscapes at The River

tyflier

[Insert Witty Commentary]
It was cold. Crisp and cold, but incredibly still. Not a lick of breeze that I could detect. And the skies to the east were clear as a bell, but there was rapid cloud developement over the Sierras to the west. So I grabbed my gear and headed out to The Owens River to see what I could do with a tripod and a HUGE full moon...

Man, am I bushed. Up at 4:30 for sunrise, and posting a fresh batch of shots at midnight. I'm going to bed now. Thanks for taking the time to look!
 
I wonder what your photographs would look like if you lived somewhere else. Where a different landscape would take you. Where you are seems so perfectly-suited to your style.

I pondered this thought quite a bit at work today after reading your reply last night, Nanci. I think that even in a completely different landscape, with completely different features to work with, my compositional "style" would still come through. I don't know if that is good or bad, to be honest with you...

When I take a shot and compose it through the viewfinder, I'm not consciously trying to follow some style, I shoot what I think looks good and translates to the viewer the way I want it to. But like most photographers, I do seem have a certain "style" to my compositions, good or bad, love it or hate. It seems to me that these natural tendencies would tend to be voiced even in an entirely unfamiliar landscape situation.

I guess the only way to know for certain is for me to travel to some exotic location with my gear, right? :D
 
Great pics once again Chris.

Care to share what kind of camera settings you used to get these shots?
