Title: Sixteen Hundred Millimeters; The 7:13 Lunar Study

Description: This joint presentation of still and motion photography documents the Full Wolf Moon at its peak illumination on the night of January 3, 2025. To achieve this perspective, the artist utilized a simple 1600mm configuration, stacking a telephoto lens with a 2x converter. This extreme focal reach allows for an intimate look at the lunar rays and the high-contrast textures of the craters. The included video serves as a transparent look at the photographer's process, capturing the "atmospheric boil"—the shimmering heat waves that create a constant, fluid movement across the lens. While the still images freeze this motion into a detailed topographical map, the video highlights the raw, living nature of long-range astrophotography. Together, these pieces offer a professional and honest record of a celestial event, captured through the lens of patience and technical precision. Technical Breakdown for the Series: • Optics: Commander Optics 420-800mm with Vivitar 2x Converter. • Exposure: Balanced with an ND4 filter to manage the 7:13 PM brilliance. • Format: High-resolution digital stills and 4K observational video.

Title: The Ascendant Gibbous: New Year’s Eve Artist: Warlock Photography Series Date: December 31, 2025 Technical: Sony a7 III 1600mm f/13 1/13s ISO 500 & 600 Description: This series documents the waxing gibbous moon in its final transition toward the first full moon of the new year. Captured during the late afternoon of December 31, 2025, these images utilize a 1600mm focal reach to examine the expanding illumination of the lunar disk. The composition emphasizes the prominent ray systems and the "seas" of the lunar maria, which are rendered with striking clarity as the sun reaches a higher angle over the moon’s near side. By meticulously adjusting the ISO between 500 and 600 at a consistent 1/13s shutter speed, the artist captures the increasing luminosity of the phase while preserving the delicate textures along the western limb. This collection serves as a study of celestial progression, capturing the moon in its penultimate stage of fullness—a visual representation of anticipation and the cyclical nature of time. Key Features for Your Gallery Label: • Subject: Waxing Gibbous Moon (approx. 90-95% illumination). • Optics: Achieved via a Vivitar 2x Converter on a 420-800mm telephoto lens. • Timeframe: A temporal study with captures at 4:20 PM and 4:31 PM.

Title: Orbital Textures No. 1231 Artist: Warlock Photography Description: This minimalist work strips away the context of the night sky to focus entirely on the moon as a textural object. The artist employs an ISO 320 setting to ensure a clean, grain-free transition between the illuminated lunar dust and the shadowed craters. Through careful exposure and the specialized use of a 2x converter, the image invites the viewer to examine the moon not as a distant light, but as a tangible, weathered landscape—ancient, scarred, and perpetually in motion.

Title: The Terminator at 1600mm Artist Note: This image, captured on December 28th at 4:20 PM, demonstrates the power of extreme telephoto compression in lunar photography. By pairing a Sony A7 III with a Jintu 420-800mm lens and a Viltrox 2x Converter, the moon is rendered at an effective focal length of 1600mm. The photograph focuses on the lunar “terminator”—the line dividing the illuminated and dark sides of the moon—where the low-angle sunlight provides maximum texture and depth to the cratered surface. Despite the use of an ND4 filter to manage light intensity, a steady 1/5s exposure was utilized to pull fine detail from the lunar Maria. The resulting image offers a professional-grade look into the geological complexity of our nearest celestial neighbor. Shutter Speed (1/5s): This is quite slow for 1600mm. At such an extreme focal length, even minor vibrations or the moon’s own movement can cause slight blurring. The minor softening in the image is a common result of a 1/5s shutter speed at that magnification, likely requiring a very sturdy tripod and a remote shutter or timer. ( EQ & Star Tracker have been assembled. )

Some motion blur in the lower corner, but now I know it’s going to work well. Clear sky’s for Jan 3rd… So far.

The Star Tracker & EQ, should help with stability and allow for longer shutter speeds. ( Alt Text )

This macro study explores the ethereal architecture of the Blue Oyster mushroom (Pleurotus ostreatus). Captured with a shallow depth of field, the image highlights the transition from the smooth, cool-toned velvet of the caps to the delicate, recursive gill structures beneath. The composition emphasizes the symbiotic relationship between the fungi and their growing medium, utilizing natural light to accentuate the subtle moisture and iridescent qualities of the specimen.

ND4 added some graininess to the photos, but brought out surface details, due to the fact it meant to reduce the amount of light, that reaches the sensor ( use for Exposure, etc. ) UV filter adds a little saturation to already existing colors, as well as reducing atmospheric haze. ( it’s a dust shield in most other cases. )

The difference between the Black Swallowtail Caterpillar and Canadian Tiger Caterpillar; one looks like a Pokémon, with an orange pronged defense mechanism ( Caterpie ). They also feed in Tree leaves. While the other is Green with black stripes, as seen above and love to stuff its face with herbs, such as parsley.
