Blood Moon, September 27th, 2015: dltphoto

Recently there was a lunar phenomenon know as the Blood Moon.
Here are a few of my shots with the Nikon 1 V1 with 70-200 2.8 VR attached however I am not a very accomplished astrology photographer so don't expect award winning shots. They are merely a visual reference of the different stages we witnessed here in Abbotsford, BC

 these were all as shot except for selective cropping on lower two.

Slint, Vancouver 2014 :dltphoto

Thanks to a friend a went to see an excellent band called Slint.They are fairly artsy with their stage lighting and I only got one shot of any worth with my Nikon 1 V1 with the 18.5mm 1.8 lens attached.

Green Lake Sunset View, Nikon 1 V1: dltphoto

This year our "sunset view" side of Green Lake was disrupted due to the unfortunate Wildfires Burning around our province. Although the fires were many miles away, the smoke blew in our direction. It didn't actually ruin my photo enjoyment though, it just made things a little more challenging and interesting.

You don't always need the newest Camera, just learn what you have. : dltphoto

Just astonished by the performance from one of my "little" camera's. Where it is nice to have the latest and greatest, knowing how to use the camera to it's fullest should be all you need. Make sure when investing in a  camera you talk to a salesperson who listens to you and then asks questions about what photography you want to do, so that they can match the best camera for your needs. I researched this model and learned it's capabilities before I purchased. Although I know it is fairly quirky in some of it's functions overall it can do the same as it's bigger brother "DSLR's".

I love the "Circles of Confusion " in this one

Sunsets :dltphoto

Sunset shots have been well documented over the years, generally viewed as a nice wide angle shot covering a great vista/ panoramic. Some sunsets aren't always that dramatic but by picking out a smaller area of the larger picture we can create our own drama. Here are a few images from our "Sunset View" campsite which usually yields some unbelievable sun downs, but this year was fairly tame by it's normal standards.

1 plus 60= 162: dltphoto

Nikon 1 plus 60mm Macro lens equals 162mm focal length. resulting in closeup!
Here is a simple shot with no effects just simple macro handheld and mildly edited in Lightroom. Really the Nikon 1 Camera is fantastic. No complaints so far.
