Popular Post Tom King Posted October 9, 2022 Popular Post Report Share Posted October 9, 2022 Finally got a chance to get into this thread. We built a fire pit down on our "beach" yesterday. With help from a very bright moon. I learned how to change the exposure on the iphone. These are multi second exposures. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhighlander Posted October 9, 2022 Report Share Posted October 9, 2022 That makes for an awesome photo, Tom! Did you actually hand-hold the camera for a multiple-seconds exposure in the 'feet up' pic? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Tom King Posted October 9, 2022 Popular Post Report Share Posted October 9, 2022 Yes, handheld. I think it must have some sort of stabilization built in, maybe computerized, but don't know all the details. Those streams going up were just little specs of hot coal particles floating up. I had both elbows resting on the arms of the chair. Trying to catch the dim sunsets, this was a 4 second exposure, but I did rest it on the handrails of the porch. This was a pretty ordinary, everyday sunset last night. The color is still not quite as deep as it was, but I'm getting closer. It looks like 4 seconds is the longest exposure available, but even then it tries to "correct" the color. We're naming the rental place "Sunset Point". 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom King Posted October 15, 2022 Report Share Posted October 15, 2022 I forgot that I took this picture until I saw it on my phone. This is the moon I had to work with, that illuminated my feet, and the lake. The air was so still, which is why the lake was like glass. It was so bright there were very distinct shadows cast. Jupiter is up from the Moon a little bit. A good night for a campfire is when the air is still. Smoke only goes straight up. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bug_hunter Posted July 9, 2023 Report Share Posted July 9, 2023 Wow, you guys have got a lot of "out of the shop" toys. I figured one could only afford one or the other. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Down here, with this heat, we’d have to have a 55 lb. block of dry ice in that ring to enjoy it. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coop Posted September 19, 2023 Report Share Posted September 19, 2023 @wtnhighlander, is this east of Nashville? I’m making my 5th trip to the Nashville area in about 3 weeks, 3 by air and one driving with my next driving, and have never seen these sites. That’s amazing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is Pigeon Forge TN, just outside the Western edge of the Great Smokey Mountains National Park. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
