[Music] Hello and thank you very much for listening to this episode of the Billy Newman Photo Podcast. I’m talking about a photograph that I made on the Oregon coast today doing Blue Hour probably. I think it was after the sun had set. It was sort of like the golden hour to talk about right as the hour as the sun is setting into sunset. The blue hour they also talk about as after the sun goes down there’s a lot of those blue kind of purple tones that show up in the atmosphere or you know in the clouds and in the water. There’s just a lot more of that tone as the sun drops and it’s a spectrum shift from what we see in the daylight to what we see at night time. But I think this was a photograph taken on the Oregon coast. I think your band-in if I’m right. And I really liked this photo. It just had it wasn’t really a big structure in the wave or a big curl or anything like that. That would be that’d be really striking but I really appreciate this photograph as kind of a close-up look at I just sort of the dreamy feeling of being on the coast. But it was definitely a photograph that I liked a lot and I like that line in the skies as it cuts across as you can kind of see at the top there there’s a bit of like a cloud break that goes down and that’s where we get a lot of that light from the sky in the background that kind of cuts underneath that big brim of cloud that goes over the top of the snet that causes a lot of bounce from the ground back up to the sky and then back down and you get a cooler or you get a defused sort of soft light in that effect which I think is really cool. You can see more of my work at billyneuminphoto.com. You can check out some of my photo books on Amazon. I think you can look up billyneumin under the authors section there and see some of the photo books on film, on the desert, on surrealism, on camping. Some cool stuff over there. Finished up that camping trip I was doing up the mountain creek there in the cascades a couple days ago. That was that like Wednesday. I think it was like maybe like Tuesday, Tuesday night to Wednesday morning. I think that was this super moon that was coming up that night if I remember right and that was pretty cool. It was cool to see the full moon up there and they always talk about the super moon which is kind of a I don’t know it’s a little bit of a misnomer but it’s cool to see too that I think they talk about happening every six months or so. Really it’s just kind of the oscillation of a bit of the eccentricities and the orbit of the moon that make it I think about 25,000 miles closer that it’s maximum and then maybe about 25,000 miles further away and it’s distant maximum but I think it’s really like a little bit of a sliver larger than it normally would be. If you notice though it’s a thing I learned way back and I think they they they show it in a scene in Apollo 13 but if you put your hand all the way out and you put your thumb up at all times you’re able to cover the entire full moon just with your thumbnail. It’s pretty wild but you got kind of always like visualize the moon is being this really big thing in the sky and really a lot of the time it’s it’s just as big as your thumbnail at arm’s reach which is kind of a trip but it’s kind of a it was cool to see the super moon that night it was really bright it was cool to kind of watch around and kind of look at how it was illuminating the forest and the trees and the mountains and stuff around me that was kind of nice to see cold that night though man I tell you so I have a 15 degree sleeping bag and that’s great 15 degrees is fine but and 15 degrees really is is more than adequate for most circumstances that I ended up in and during the summertime where it’s I don’t know it’s just ...
