Waning Gibbous Moon. Image taken with a Nikon 1 V2 camera FT1 adapter, 500 mm f/4 VR lens, and 2.0 TC-E adapter (ISO 160, 1000 mm, f/8, 1/250 sec). The field of view for this setup is equivalent to 2700 mm on a 35 mm/full frame camera. The other neat thing about this setup is there is no mirror or shutter vibration. The Nikon 1 series of cameras are mirrorless, and have an electronic shutter option. I could barely get all of the moon in the frame.

I am a scientist by training (Eckerd College, BSc; Caltech, Ph.D.). I worked for 27 years as a Chemist in the Pharmaceutical Industry developing processes to manufacture medicines for human and animal health. I now spend my time as a photographer and world traveler. My interests include the natural world, wildlife, landscapes, sky, and seascapes, travel, and astrophotography. I look for unique ways of viewing the world and presenting my images. I have traveled to over 55 countries in six continents, often on Semester at Sea voyages. While at home in New Jersey, I spend time on home renovation and expansion of a wildflower garden/meadow.
