Description We were shooting at Zabriskie Point early the in morning. Almost all of the time I spent looking through my 100-400mm lens getting those up-close-and-personal shots.

Β While going through my photos weeks later, I noticed this shot. I dont even remember changing lenses! While shooting, I was so close to the edge of the ridge I barely even wanted to move, let along dig around in my camera bag. I'm really glad I did however as I really like how this came out.

Β The initial shot was actually a bit over-exposed. I didnt notice I had captured the moon until I lowered the exposure in RAW! At any rate, I hope you get some enjoyment out of this. Feel free to let me know what you think. I'm hoping with a little tweaking, this will be print-worthy!

Thank you very much!
To be honest, probably not. As it is I spend a lot of time sending letters to websites asking them to please stop using my photos for commercial use; and those are the low-res crappy shots you can still find littering my gallery. It's amazing the number of website designers who think it's perfectly ok to snatch photos off the web and use it for their sites...and THEN have the nerve to put a copyright notice on their page!! Lol
Anyway, I'm asking for trouble as it is just posting this without a watermark.
I'm really glad you like it!

Hehe what to say.. even I would like to steal it and use it as a background on my laptop But yeah, a delicate watermark might help to protect your art. I fully understand it, it's a treasure

yeah, I quite honestly dont remember switching out lenses. Most of the time I used the 100-400mm while in that spot, but this was obviously taken with a wider angle lens. I only took two shots with the lens so I got really lucky it came out decently enough to get this photo.
