It got cloudy Saturday night so I couldn't participate in the "Super Moon". It was full last night (Sunday) though so I got some day-after-Super-Moon shots:
This was just after it came over the horizon:
Then it got a little higher into the clouds:
This is not the greatest moon photo, but I thought it was cool that I caught a couple birds flying at night in front of it. I'm not sure if they were ducks, or geese, or just what, but I thought that was neat.

There is one lightning shot has a very eerie sky with it.
In auto white balance, the lightning shots come out quite purple. I like to push the magenta back toward green. I think the green gives it that eerie feel.
Super duper! Thanks for sharing your talent with us!
I really like the one with the dandelions in the foreground. The green of the leaves is so saturated it almost looks painted.
The golden moon is very pretty as well as the butterflies.
Oh, I had a dream of your dog Allie a few nights ago. Someone was trying to abduct her from your yard which was a Wild Buffalo Wings and I worked there. You followed them in your Lego hovercraft to the Tulsa Aquarium and were able to get her back

Phew! I'm glad we got her back. We would be sad if someone took her. LEGO Hovercraft to the rescue!
Those first three are "HDR" (high dynamic range). They are created with three images . . . one at correct exposure, one that is too light, and one that is too dark. Then, using software, the three shots are blended together. (Some people use even five or more photos combined.)
In a normal shot, if you expose for the bright, white clouds, the shadows on the ground subjects are too dark. If you expose to keep the detail in the shadows on the ground, then the clouds would be "blown out" white and they would lose their detail. HDR keeps the details from where it can "see" them and combines them into the photos where it can't. The result it that intense color effect.
You can turn the HDR strength up so far, it makes real photos look like cartoons. Some people LOVE that look, and others HATE it. I try not to go that far.
Thanks for telling me. I started the upload of 145 full-res images and went to bed last night. I wanted to password protect the gallery, but forgot to do that this morning. (I don't like to publicly post other people's kids.) They are protected now. I will share the photos with the mom's of Logan's buddies that I got too.
Super duper! Thanks for sharing your talent with us!
