Sky–Moon–Pinhole
This photo was a morning view from the kitchen window. (But not everyday’s view.)
I was making a thin metal panel (commonly known as a drink can — I didn’t buy = I just found it. :-D) to a DSLR Pinhole panel. And this was the outside view then. (30-11-2017 / 16:03)
The same outside was looked like this by the Pinhole !
Then next moment, the moon appeared on the sky (may be the cloud hiding her was moved away)
What ? —– I took a picture with D810 / Zeiss 18 mm lens as a fixed shot. (16:14:40)
A while later, the moon disappeared and the sky got dark. (If you take a photo of the dark sky, they will show you a red color = may be a reflection of the city’s illumination and the shorter wave-length of light (= like blue) was attenuated easily in the earth’s atmospheres, hence the sky looked red.)
Whatsoever, have a quiet nice evening.

New Moon (about)
Not exactly. If it was really a New Moon, we can not see it’s totally black face on front of a blight rising Sun. Other obstacle is, normally we are not watching such early morning sky. = So, I discovered this Moon almost in an accident. It was after 3:30, I just looked out the window and found something blight object in a still dark dawn sky. It took a while for me to realise that it was in fact a Moon. It’s funny, we expect that the Moon is somewhat round, or at least half round, therefore like this, iron hook kind of THING can not be a Moon though, as it slowly moving up right, I convinced that this is in deed a Moon. (The photo above was a picture of my kitchen window, overlooking the Moon. — by a 55mm lens on A7R camera)
It was the same kind of misunderstanding, that the white light IS exist (they were not white but the mix of all tri-color = same as a PC or TV screen, when all BGR lit evenly, we feel it was white) so as the Moon IS a round blight object in the Sky. In reality, Moon is not blight at all but its surface shine when its was hit by the Sun light. = It’s mean, Moon shines only a side facing the Sun. And, when the Moon was in the opposite of the Sun, we can see fully lit (hence it looks fully round) surface which we call Full-Moon. And when the Moon is in the same direction of the Sun, we only see it’s un-lit back = This is the New Moon. (And the half Moon is somewhere between. 🙂 ) The most frightening reality in the life is, when we see the full moon 12 times, a year has gone !

Paint the Morning Sky

Screen shot of the same photo
This is a screen shot of the next photo using Double Density Pinhole on A7R camera.

Zeiss 18mm F3.5 on Nikon D810
This is the original straight shot on Nikon D810. (cropped image)

Zeiss 18mm F3.5 on Nikon D810
This was the straight shot on Nikon D810 by Zeiss 18mm lens as a comparison.

Fun camera Lens (27mm? / F13) on A7R
The same sky by the Fun camera Lens (though not on the same moment = I was doing those shots next by next).

Wide DD-Pinhole
A shot by the DD-Pinhole — in fact, this was the last one of those photos on the morning.

Wide X4 Pinhole
Shot by the X4 Pinholes with wide adapter attached.
X4 Pinholes image again. (without wide adapter)
Yet another X4 Pinholes image.
Just a casual click on the kitchen window — only for a fun. 😀 —– but I like this !
How about those ? — Left was X4, Right was Mono Pinhole.

Winter Cherry 2015
Someone might say,”Same again how boring”
though, it’s not only an accustomed tradition here
but this tree is more than a friend to me.
She is an indicator of Life.
Having had a rather unusual life style = flowering in
the winter and the last one tree left among the three,
— to see her flowering again in this year, really
gave me a sigh of relief.
By the way, they are the same flower though, right photo was taken
with a built-in flash of the Nikon D810, and I found it is rather useful.
(Though, flashlight was diffused by a white paper.)
So far, the weather in London is not cold at all. Still it is winter.
The photos here were taken by either Zeiss 18mm F3.5 for Nikon or
Homemade single glass lens/so-called Gaudy Lens on Nikon D810.
(Strangely, the Non-CPU lens on D810 was functioning well here —
I haven’t fully tested whether D800 and D810 got different OS/setting.
The setting was for Non-CPU/Zeiss 18mm Lens = the Lens, brighter
than F5.6 may be working but may not be with Pinhole unless AI ring
was set to the proper position.)
