8 cyl 5.0 Merc mpi, w/alpha 1 with 19" prop, with the speedo hole on the leading edge just above it
that someone posted here, it was of the moon, either on the beach, or on a deck, with a palm tree. The entire picture had a red-ish hue to it. I was trying to get exposure/setup info off that, but can't find the picture now.

As I remember it, there was a building on the left, the moon centered high in the pic, with palm trees on the right side framing the pic.

Anyone know what pic I'm looking for?

This is sunset, but, was it like this?

No, I'm pretty sure this was a moon shot, and it was mostly dark, with a red hue to the entire picture due to the low light conditions.

Strange looking moon John....
 
There is a book that you want to get called Understanding Exposure revised edition by Bryan Peterson. This is a fabulous book that not only explains about exposure it shows you examples with pictures and the settings for every picture. The Nikon user group called this the bible for cameras, it is not for one brand of camera and it is not just for high end camera's and len's there are a lot of shots with cameras that cost less then $500.00. You will love this book.

I think it is in the .. Show some sunset pics thread. :smt001
 
The reddish hue is coming from the lights in the house. It is possible to shift the color of the shot using software ("adjusting color temperature"); in fact all cameras merely "guess" at what color shift to use. Picking your own color temperature is typical when editing photos.

The overall "bright sky" effect is due to an extremely long shutter time -> which is why the moon is a BRIGHT blob (the moon and its reflection in the water is technically severely overexposed -> which is the price you pay for the awesomeness of the rest of the shot)

Great resource, thanks for the pointer. Might have to dig out some of my old Photog books from my bookcase and browse them. Many of them have similar info in them.
