They are clearly different versions of the same concept.

It would have to match the sky’s color exactly, and that can’t always be accurately be predicted in advance. That said, I’ve never seen a giant curtain in the sky, and perhaps in the distance it can be camouflaged enough to appear invisible, even if the color doesn’t perfectly match the sky. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61fda481cc5994563ccf76de/c053022a-91c8-407b-ad0d-7ba0654eb684/David+Copperfield_StatueofLiberty.jpg Blog - Will David Copperfield Make the Moon Disappear? - Make it stand out In 1983, David Copperfield made the Statue of Liberty disappear in front of a live audience. I did this in Photoshop. He did it at night, without any camera tricks. Might he use a similar method to make the moon disappear as he did for the statue? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61fda481cc5994563ccf76de/123b2f78-5a81-4152-998f-b416a6d20f40/7G7A2803.jpg Blog - Will David Copperfield Make the Moon Disappear? - Make it stand out Doing some of my own moon magic.

As a beginner photographer, I made a lot of mistakes with my photos, but some of them I was able to salvage using one of the most basic post processing actions. Today, I’m going to go through a handful of photos that I was able to save through thoughtful cropping. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61fda481cc5994563ccf76de/76d64caf-ca26-415c-bfb7-3346f4790d85/IMG_9997.jpg Blog - Improving Your Photos With Cropping - Make it stand out Before Cropping. I almost trashed this image. It’s “blegh” to me, due to the lack of a clear subject, among other things. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61fda481cc5994563ccf76de/465ab99e-7c87-404f-8d5d-58057d05cf1b/IMG_9997-2.jpg Blog - Improving Your Photos With Cropping - Make it stand out After Cropping. “Zooming” into the “kissing” ravens makes them the clear subject, and the image better follows the rule of thirds. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61fda481cc5994563ccf76de/260febed-e2ec-4a02-9d80-5e3c77dfae11/IMG_9993.jpg Blog - Improving Your Photos With Cropping - Make it stand out Before Cropping. Empty space is a common theme I find in my older photos (not that I’m never innocent of this still today). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61fda481cc5994563ccf76de/d687770f-1288-49a8-b2b2-bdb7d03252a8/IMG_9993-2.jpg Blog - Improving Your Photos With Cropping - Make it stand out After Cropping. Converting to portrait orientation helped remove most of the unnecessary empty space, and I really like how the the sun rays are better highlighted. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61fda481cc5994563ccf76de/939df737-6a7b-4d7f-a254-da220c63d209/IMG_0459.jpg Blog - Improving Your Photos With Cropping - Make it stand out Before Cropping. Let’s just ignore the fact that shots with slanted horizons were fairly common for me early on. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61fda481cc5994563ccf76de/7dde0269-a22e-41f7-8460-60fae696d3b3/IMG_0459-2.jpg Blog - Improving Your Photos With Cropping - Make it stand out After Cropping. Besides correcting the horizon of course, I was able to remove the distracting trees on the left and create a more compelling composition by zooming in. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61fda481cc5994563ccf76de/a60eb36d-7303-41d5-9776-b053086b32f6/IMG_0699.jpg Blog - Improving Your Photos With Cropping - Make it stand out Before Cropping.

Removing the empty space on the right fixes those issues, and now the hikers balance well with the sea stack and trees. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61fda481cc5994563ccf76de/fdb2f434-6346-47a9-ae68-2b7f2786c838/IMG_0798.jpg Blog - Improving Your Photos With Cropping - Make it stand out Before Cropping.

Sometimes, just zooming in to create a clear subject and recomposing around that will work wonders. To me this is a brand new image, and part of that is a level of mystery - are we in a skyscraper looking out at the plane, or are we outside of a building looking at reflective windows? https://www.zachcooleyphoto.com/blog/behind-the-shots-joy-of-the-climb monthly 0.5 2023-08-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61fda481cc5994563ccf76de/5d279a8a-a13f-4f8e-927a-067a354b78f7/7G7A8856.jpg Blog - Behind the Shots: Joy of the Climb - Make it stand out Spoiler alert: In 2023, the shots worked out!

This shot gives a better sense of scale and what the climb was like, though the ascent took place on the other side of what we see here.

After the planned shots when the moon was well above the horizon, I wasn’t taking any more pictures and we were chatting.

The foreground view is of the well-known Monument Valley. We’ll be using math to show that if the sun was even at that position, it has been enlarged about 50X. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61fda481cc5994563ccf76de/dbfc1585-00a4-4889-87b4-824b82876de1/StateCapitol.jpeg Blog - Identifying Fake Sun and Moon Photos With Math - Make it stand out Another image presented by a photographer as a single shot. Math can be used to conclude that the moon was grossly enlarged (aside from not even rising in that position). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61fda481cc5994563ccf76de/1b5d4497-4761-4e11-b095-684566e9e9e3/AngularSize_Buildings.jpg Blog - Identifying Fake Sun and Moon Photos With Math - Make it stand out This illustrates something we already know: Objects on the ground appear larger when closer, and smaller when farther. We can talk about the apparent size of anything by using “Angular size”, whether it be a building, a person, or a mountain or other natural features. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61fda481cc5994563ccf76de/5cd75b94-eb69-4e3d-9144-b5b2e09eb9ea/AngularSize_Sun.jpg Blog - Identifying Fake Sun and Moon Photos With Math - Make it stand out Both the sun and the moon have the same apparent size, about 0.5 degrees on average. This is regardless of the day or time of year, or your location on Earth. You could be on top of a mountain or a boat in the middle of the ocean. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61fda481cc5994563ccf76de/b743a7af-9552-496d-8205-3a4ed252676e/ScreenShotGE.jpg Blog - Identifying Fake Sun and Moon Photos With Math - Make it stand out The first piece of information we need is the actual size (height or width) of anything in the image, aside from the sun or moon. Using Google Earth, we can easily measure the height and width of natural features as well as buildings. For the Monument Valley example, I chose the pillar of the central butte. It’s about 35 feet wide. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61fda481cc5994563ccf76de/00962792-6a65-43bb-85c3-4272f12e6787/Distance.png Blog - Identifying Fake Sun and Moon Photos With Math - Make it stand out The second piece of information needed is the distance to the measured object. After determining the photographer’s position on the ground, I measured the distance from the photographer to the pillar measured above. About 4,275 feet. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61fda481cc5994563ccf76de/4977fdcf-6860-4848-9992-2900a1fe281d/Compare.jpg Blog - Identifying Fake Sun and Moon Photos With Math - Make it stand out I added the blue dot in the center of the sun as a more accurate representation of the sun’s size from the photographer’s position. With some basic math we conclude at the very least the sun was enlarged by about 50X, though it’s also possible the sun wasn’t even in the original photo. https://www.zachcooleyphoto.com/blog/a-healthier-relationship-with-instagram monthly 0.5 2023-03-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61fda481cc5994563ccf76de/89a65f3c-1b4b-4ff0-bab1-4b9e95433d7d/20220801_202939.jpg Blog - A Healthier Relationship With Instagram - Make it stand out So far, this headline from popular tech site Gizmodo, published in July of last year, seems to be proving true. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61fda481cc5994563ccf76de/9191b29a-983c-4fe5-97d9-fcfe29d13130/complaints.png Blog - A Healthier Relationship With Instagram - Make it stand out In this post, when multiple updates were announced related to creator marketplace, NFT expansion, and Reels, by and large the comments simply requested that the reach drop be fixed.

The moon rose earlier in the day so the harsh light made for a much less impressive image. The different apparent moon size is due to my distance from the rocks being different on those days. Single Exposure: 200mm F/161/60sec.

The red pin can be placed anywhere in your city or town, as the first thing we want to do is get an idea of the sunset time. In this example, I used TPE on my computer browser. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61fda481cc5994563ccf76de/ee0dbb63-bae0-494e-8d33-a0da046f3eda/7G7A1621.jpg Blog - The Best Time for Landscape Photography with the Moon - Make it stand out I’d been wanting to capture the moon with these towers for a long time.

You can easily swipe between them and view full screen if you want. On Instagram, it’s extra work to be able to do something like this, and images cannot be viewed full screen. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61fda481cc5994563ccf76de/cc95e601-bbd8-434f-bef6-91ae14cf2893/Comparen.jpg Blog - VERO vs Instagram: Why Photographers Should Try VERO - Make it stand out A side-by-side comparison of the exact same file uploaded to Instagram (left), and VERO (right). I slightly zoomed in on both. A frequent issue I run into on Instagram was color banding, and the pixelation is very apparent. I have done several comparisons with other images, and have not yet run into any noticeable problems on VERO. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61fda481cc5994563ccf76de/f7adbaa6-01b0-46a5-a913-fcdf403877c4/Vero_comment.png Blog - VERO vs Instagram: Why Photographers Should Try VERO - Make it stand out This was my first post on VERO, using the desktop app. I asked for tips, and one from a fellow photographer was “Stay genuine and have fun in this great community”. So far, I have definitely experienced more community than there has been on Instagram. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61fda481cc5994563ccf76de/368b86ee-5f9a-4e35-9380-1f356f01234c/IG_Landscape.jpg Blog - VERO vs Instagram: Why Photographers Should Try VERO - Make it stand out This is what you get on a landscape photo when rotating your phone on Instagram.

What you see here is not a photo, but a computer rendered 3D map that you can virtually fly through. If you notice the compass in the upper right, you’ll see that we’re essentially facing East here, which means we should likely be able to find a time when the moon rises behind the arch! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61fda481cc5994563ccf76de/07b1ccaf-7d10-45ed-b59d-8e55dc0cb95a/7G7A6134.jpg Blog - Behind the Shots: Moon Eye - Make it stand out An example of what I call a “Precision Shot”. Photos like these require you to stand at exactly the right spot on the ground, at exactly the right time. Just a few steps in any direction could mean you miss the desired alignment with the moon. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61fda481cc5994563ccf76de/f7aa749e-3f58-4314-8817-47573ad3f853/7G7A1246.jpg Blog - Behind the Shots: Moon Eye - Make it stand out As I drove through Arches National Park a couple days before the moon eye photo shoot, I pulled off to the side of the road and snapped some photos of the beautiful scenery. Unfortunately, I left my tripod at one of the spots, not realizing until hours later. When I returned it was nowhere to be found. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61fda481cc5994563ccf76de/3dc39b11-6d67-4ab0-a353-594528e91b4a/7G7A1849.jpg Blog - Behind the Shots: Moon Eye - Make it stand out Single Exposure: 428mm F/9 1/500 sec.

While we can’t really change the size of the moon, we can change the apparent size of what’s on the ground, so the moon appears larger only by comparison.

Remember, if you hold your hand out at arm’s length, your pinky nail will completely cover the moon, regardless of the month.

Consider the two photos above, and the picture with my dancing friend. Nobody is asking questions about the moon size when it’s all by itself, even if it fills your entire screen as you’re scrolling on Instagram. They’re asking on photos like the one with my friend, because it’s not something people see every day. While zooming in or cropping does in fact increase the moon’s size within your frame, those methods are not what gives us the effect that we’re talking about, because in both those cases, everything else is magnified equally along with the moon. So how do you achieve the effect then? https://www.zachcooleyphoto.com/blog/tag/Moon+Photography monthly 0.5 https://www.zachcooleyphoto.com/blog/tag/National+Parks monthly 0.5 https://www.zachcooleyphoto.com/blog/tag/Arches+National+Park monthly 0.5 https://www.zachcooleyphoto.com/blog/tag/Marvelous+Moons monthly 0.5 https://www.zachcooleyphoto.com/blog/tag/Behind+the+Shots monthly 0.5 https://www.zachcooleyphoto.com/events-one daily 0.75 2022-03-04 https://www.zachcooleyphoto.com/events-one/event-five-jkhrj monthly 0.5 2022-01-14 https://www.zachcooleyphoto.com/events-one/event-four-swldb monthly 0.5 2022-01-14 https://www.zachcooleyphoto.com/events-one/event-three-l9byn monthly 0.5 2022-01-14 https://www.zachcooleyphoto.com/events-one/event-two-4bwz7 monthly 0.5 2022-01-14 https://www.zachcooleyphoto.com/events-one/event-one-9rhfw monthly 0.5 2022-01-14 https://www.zachcooleyphoto.com/home daily 1.0 2022-04-08 https://www.zachcooleyphoto.com/about daily 0.75 2022-03-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ce592c8732098000152407a/1562825944668-6924WVA1UIKI1IQA5GFZ/Aro-Ha_1182-copy.jpg About Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.

I’m not sure who “they” are, but I think they’re onto something. I’ve always had a deep love for nature…being awestruck by it, experiencing its sublimity, and learning from it. As a teen, I began exploring the deserts and mountains of Arizona as much as I could. Wanting to share the magnificent scenes I was seeing with friends and family, I acquired a point and shoot camera. This led to disappointment, however, as those pictures never did justice to what I had witnessed. But I had seen plenty of amazing nature photos, so I knew it was possible! I began to educate myself and eventually picked up my first DSLR. The hobby evolved into a passion. All the while, I worked at a software company that I loved. I realized though, that there is a big difference between having a job that I love, and living my passion. In 2022 I made the leap! I recognized that as tough as it must be to make a living as a landscape photographer, it was the right thing for me to do. My mission is this: to share the wonder of this planet we call home, always continue learning and pushing myself to become the best I can be, and educating and helping others to improve their own photography. In doing so I hope to encourage people to connect with nature in new ways, and to inspire people to build their own dreams, whatever they may be. https://www.zachcooleyphoto.com/archesworkshop daily 0.75 2024-05-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61fda481cc5994563ccf76de/1657651326596-99G5WZJ0CYPVUMG6YK5M/Sunrise.png Book a Workshop https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61fda481cc5994563ccf76de/1657651341983-9R7GE1GPS8L9B3KLO6GD/Sunset.png Book a Workshop https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61fda481cc5994563ccf76de/1657651471746-EQ556GLKYI2L9422NK92/Milkyway.png Book a Workshop https://www.zachcooleyphoto.com/contact daily 0.75 2022-03-02 https://www.zachcooleyphoto.com/our-instructors daily 0.75 2022-03-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c5a514d65019f01a2cb2be5/1554919226465-10GBNZ6JOH0Y4BD3RIVR/team1.jpeg Our Instructors - First Name Last name Tobias Keene, D.D.S.
