Sunsets with a super telephoto are an interesting experience for sure

A "horse barn" - shot from miles away, with surrounding canyons and rather distant volcanoes. This is viewed from a local high point, shot at 600 mm for an absolutely wild perspective. This does not look like this at all without the elevated position and extreme telephoto. You can't see any of those canyon walls or volcanoes when you're on the ground near that building. - Harding County, New Mexico, USA #canyon #volcano #mountains #telephoto #NewMexico #americanwest #americansouthwest #nature #landscape #outdoors #winter #hiking #Fujifilm #Fujinon

I set my alarm for 3 a.m. to photograph the blood moon (lunar eclipse) but alas, it clouded over. The good news is that my test shots from before I went to bed came out. An eerily flat moon — no shadow contours except a smidgen at the lower left because the sun was directly behind me as I shot.

Full moon, with no crater shadows visible, against a black sky

Looking up from the sunrise, my attention was pulled away by something unexpected… a jet streaking overhead. And just beyond that fleeting trace of human ingenuity, there it was — the other constant in our sky. The Moon.

Not just a distant object, but a part of our own story. Formed from a colossal impact billions of years ago, a piece of Earth itself cast outward and forever bound to us. Since then, it has shaped our planet in quiet but profound ways — stabilizing our axial tilt, driving the tides, and possibly even helping to create the conditions for life as we know it.

It’s strange to think that while we engineer machines to cross the skies, leaving temporary marks that fade within minutes, the Moon remains. Steady. Unmoving in its rhythm. A reminder of deep time compared to our brief presence.

Photographing it is always a balance. The Moon reflects intense sunlight, far brighter than the sky around it. To preserve its surface detail, I lowered my ISO to 250 and increased the shutter speed to 1/500, keeping the highlights from blowing out while still capturing the surrounding atmosphere — including that fleeting human signature crossing beneath it.

Two worlds in one frame. One ancient and enduring, the other momentary and evolving.

And somehow, both tell the story of us.

Aoudad family aglow in the setting sunlight. I ran into them during a hike on Sunday. I had specifically taken this trail in the hopes of seeing some, so I was pretty happy. I was extra happy with this rimlight, too. - Palo Duro Canyon, Texas, USA #aoudad #barbarysheep #sheep #goat #animal #wildlife #nature #outdoors #PaloDuroCanyon #PaloDuro #palodurocanyonstatepark #Texas #TexasPanhandle #winter #portrait #telephoto #Fujifilm #FujifilmXT5 #Tamron

Fleeting, awesome sidelight before sunset on the Capitol Mesa and surrounding canyons. This is a different view/perspective than I've shot before, and I don't think I've seen this exact shot ever before. I love telephoto landscapes. - Palo Duro Canyon, Texas, USA #Texas #TexasPanhandle #canyon #PaloDuroCanyon #sunset #americanwest #americansouthwest #nature #landscape #scenicsnature #outdoors #winter #CapitolPeak #sidelight #backlight #telephoto #Fujifilm #hiking #telephoto

4/4 The running man was over two blocks away; the detail shot is a 1:1 crop. From two blocks!

The Pell Bridge in Newport is 16 miles south of Bristol, where this photo was taken.

The length of the bridge is about the size of a quarter held at arms length; this is a view I’ve never had with the naked eye.

I love the way the shallow depth of field makes the runner stand out from the background.Expand this 1:1 crop to appreciate the amount of detail captured on the hoodie, from over two blocks away.This shot is hard to appreciate, without being used to the fact that Newport is quite a way from Bristol … and that usually, the Pell Bridge is only visible at night, when its lights are on.

3/4 These shots would be impossible without the tele’s long reach; you couldn’t get close enough to fill the frame.

2/4 It’s great for grabbing details; for a lot of these shots, I was a block or two away from the subject!

1/4 My NIKKOR 200mm tele arrived at lunchtime … here’s what it looks like on the adapter, with the built-in lens hood extended.

You’d think it was ungainly, but it’s surprisingly easy to carry and walk around with.

Of course, I had to go outside and test it out.
