More moonrise HDRs; Crop duster
In September of 2025, my work is generating the most income it ever has in my career. Yet, I'm being forced to shut down my successul operation, against my will, due to one cause alone: 95% of that revenue is being stolen by piracy and copyright infringement. I've lost more than $1 million to copyright infringement in the last 15 years, and it's finally brought an end to my professional storm chasing operation. Do not be misled by the lies of infringers, anti-copyright activists and organized piracy cartels. This page is a detailed, evidenced account of my battle I had to undertake to just barely stay in business, and eventually could not overcome. It's a problem faced by all of my colleagues and most other creators in the field. |
One last attempt at moonrise tonight - at least until our next series of clear-sky full-moon evenings. These two images are again "manual HDR" composites of two separate exposures of the same scene (one exposed for the landscape, the other for the moon). These are the railroad tracks on the east side of New Baden, looking east.
Earlier in the day, as I was heading home from Fairview Heights, a crop duster plane swept over the road at what seemed like 30 feet overhead. I stopped to grab a few shots.
