Rodeo by Pablo Benavente
Rodeo by Pablo Benavente

You may be as surprised as I was to learn that photographing a rodeo could be done within an hour’s drive from downtown D.C.! Pablo Benavente made this perfectly timed and well-lit capture at the Loudon County Fair in Leesburg, Virginia.

Pablo Benavente took this lovely portrait of two men named David at the pride parade. We wouldn’t have been surprised if actually was two men named Santa, sporting their summer uniforms.

Funk Parade by pablo.raw

This photo by pablo.raw is a marvelously messy mix of parts of faces and flailing limbs, all anchored by the remarkable expression on the face of the euphonium player.

Night Sky Photography for Beginners

When you think of astrophotography, you probably think of mind-blowing Hubble images, but you don’t need a billion dollar space telescope to image the night sky. In fact, most hobby photographers have all they need already in their bag, or can cheaply rent from a local camera shop. And right now you have a unique opportunity to get started. Comet ISON has been visible with the naked eye just before dawn for the last few days, and may get even brighter before it reaches perihelion, its closest point to the sun as it swings around, on November 28. If ISON manages to survive its close encounter, you might get a second chance to catch it in camera over Thanksgiving weekend.

Here’s some history about Comet ISON, discovered in September 2012, its current status, and where you can find it in the sky.

Or try your hand at night sky photography almost anytime with the moon, which was full on Sunday night and will start to reveal its shadowy craters as it wanes for the next couple weeks. To get you started on your first night sky shoot, we asked some practiced local photographers, Phil Yabut, Brett Davis, Brian Mosley, Pablo Benavente, and Exposed’s Sanjay Suchak for their advice.

Exposed: What do you like to photograph in the night sky?
