10-VG7079-92 This image is a combination of seven of the lightning photos take the same evening. The lightning is real and shown where it actually struck.
Earthshine on the Moon: During the thin crescent phase of the moon the part that is in shadow from the Sun is actually lit by light reflected from the Earth. In our case on the east coast that light is reflected off the Pacific Ocean when we see the moon just after sunset. This image is a composite of two exposures that differ by more than six stops.
Orion Nebula photo taken at 800mm, f/5.6 (400mm f/2.8 and 2X extender). This is a composite of two 15 second exposures taken with ISO set to 12,800 and 25,600. Using two exposures allows for detail to be shown in the bright center of the nebula. Image cropped to about 60% of a full frame camera.
This shows the general target setup. On the left is a white sheet of paper with black bars printed on it so the camera has a high contrast target to focus on. Remember you want to know where your camera thinks focus is when it focuses on this target. Use the lowest f/# on your lens so you can see where your camera is focusing. The point light source should be in the same plane as this focus target and surrounded with a black background (like a black card). The resolution targets are not necessary but are useful to evaluate the results for your own piece of mind.
