Venus and Jupiter 1/2° apart low in the pink twilight at lower left, with the waning crescent Moon near Aldebaran at upper right, taken from home August 18, 2014 at dawn, looking due east. This is a single 1 second exposure at f/4 with the 16-35mm lens and Canon 6D at ISO 800.
Venus (left) and Jupiter in close conjunction (1/2° apart) at dawn on the morning of August 18, 2014, taken from home with the 135mm telephoto and Canon 60Da camera. This is a single 2 second exposure at f/2 and ISO 400.
The supermoon of August 10, 2014 rising behind Mt. Rundle and Banff townsite, as shot from the Mt. Norquay viewpoint looking south over the valley. This is an HDR high dynamic range stack of 8 exposures to capture the great range in brightness from the sky around the Moon (the Moon itself is inevitably overexposed) to the dark ground and trees. I’ve turned up the HDR intensity a bit more than natural to bring out cloud structure but that does give the image an HDR look. I shot this at the end of a 700-frame time-lapse, with the 16-35mm lens and Canon 6D. HDR processed with Photomatix Pro.
