Moonlight on a very clear night in winter is surprisingly bright. You've given yourself lots more ideas for moon shots.
ReplyDeleteWe have had some incredibly clear skies this past week. I saw stars for the first time in a long time.
ReplyDeleteArtistically, I much prefer moonsets and moonrises to their solar counterparts. They require a little more work and a little more skill to make them work. Composition is more important because usually there is no "wow" colour factor to deflect attention from poor composition. Also exposure has to be more accurate since it is so easy to blow out the moon. In other words, a moon shot allows the photographer to add a little of his own vision into the shot. Just as you have done with your shot John. I especially like where you've positioned the moon.
