Alien Moonrise over Twin Peaks

Submitted by K Norton on Wed, 04/28/2021 - 16:18

Alien Moonrise over Twin Peaks - Goat Mountain. Chugach Mountains, Alaska. Photo taken from the Knik River Access along the Glenn Highway. Panasonic DMC-GX85 with Olympus DZ 50-200 SWD lens. This is not a composite image, but was just done with (heavy handed, and very excessive) editing in Adobe Lightroom.

When photographing the scene, I used -2 stops exposure compensation to keep the moon from clipping too much, and then was able to edit to taste (tasteless?) in Lightroom.

Setting Sun and Falling Snow

Setting Sun and Falling Snow. Chugach Mountains. Eagle River, Alaska. Olympus E-1 with 50-200 SWD Lens. "They say" the E-1 just isn't very good. ISO 100, F5.6, 1/60, 200mm, monopod. Processed in Adobe Lightroom. Keen observers will note that this is like the previous picture, but was taken the following evening. These two pictures also illustrate a little bit how the E-1 renders tonalities and highlights as compared to CMOS-based cameras.
