Blue Moon

[jerome.oneil]

I took this photo using available light and combined 5 exposures. This image needs some work such as...

My Olympus E520 only takes 3 bracket shots so when I added 2 more exposures on each end I lost the foam and the camera may have moved slightly.

Is the photo too dark?
Would this photo be better if there were more DOF?


Thanks,
Jerome



Camera: Olympus E520
Focal Length: 50mm
Aperture: f1.8
Shutter Speed: 1/125

I like what you're trying to do with this shot. I don't think it is too dark but do think a little more DOF could help. Love the compostition too.

Aren't Blue Moon's served with an orange wedge? That could add some additional color to the shot. What was the purpose of the 5 exposures, were you trying to produce an HDR image?

After I shot and on the computer I thought it didn't look right.

Blue Moon's are served with Orange but not the Pale Moon. Thanks for the suggestion I will add the orange. Att first I thought I'd attempt HDR but it just didn't work out.

Thanks to both of you, I'll try this shot over with greater DOF, one exposure, and an orange.
