First backyard outdoor movie showing of 2010 held Friday 8/27/10.
Perfect weather, 25+ family/friends, kids, with popcorn watched the great Pixar movie "Up!" .
Picts tell a neat story:
Watching Pixar "shorts" as got darker prior to the main feature.
At 8:50pm the ISS went overhead, I paused the feature while we all watched it go from SW to NE part of sky, a special treat.
I gave the group brief education on the ISS passes and Heavens-above website as well.
#1
The main feature , "Up!", a great Pixar movie to show.
#2
16' wide x 9' tall screen, I was just happy my Sony VPL-VW60 1080p projector gave a decent and bright picture.
#3
Who says kids don't stay still for long, this is a 5 second time exposure (on tripod).
I love how the faces are transfixed onscreen.
#4
This is a 4 second exposure, kids loved being in front laying on the blankets.
#5
This is the shot I was geeked to capture, the Big Dipper watching over our little movie gathering.
Now, this is a 20 second time exposure!!
Captured with my Canon T1i and 15-85 lens 15mm, f4, ISO 800.
This is 1 single image, I was amaze at how clear people were for 20 second exposure.
#6 ( 1600 pix link shows more clarity)
After everyone went home, my 3 kids and I went outside and captured Jupiter and her 4 moons (3 days in a row!)
This is about 11pm, just above the East horizon, Jupiter is RH/South of the Earth's moon.
Captured with my Canon T1i and 55-250 kit lens @250mm, picture cropped.
#7
The Earth's moon (did I have to say that?), captured with my 3 kids about 11:20pm.
They went to bed right after taking this.
#8
After the fact I wish I had taken a 20 second exposure of the screen with the stars in the background (#2), then made a composite shot, would have been neat to see the stars above the garage/screen.
All photos above as shot with minor PP in Aperture 3.
