I cropped this picture down quite a bit but the detail is still pretty good for the moon.  I used a 210mm lens to get this shot and I only exposed it for 1/30 of a second.  The big thing was probably spot metering directly on the sun.  It allowed me to now have to expose it for too long.
A nice closeup of some flying bug.  It was about an 1.5 inches head to tail so you can tell I am in close. Check out the slug at the bottom left.  I didn't even notice he was here until I looked at it in the computer.
Done with in camera HDR.  The plants have almost a waxy tone to them.
I used Auto Bracketing with .7 exposure variation of three shots to get the contract in this shot.  Then Photomatix to mix it.
