I went out to catch a sunset, turned around and spotted a far better shot of the moon, perfectly framed through our Cottonwood tree!This photo was taken with Shutter Priority and flash, there has been no enhancement to the colouring, as a few have asked. It was looking into the east away from the sunset, which was also magnificent and that maybe why the blue is so intense?

ReplyDeleteReluctant Farm Chick - absolutely no touch-up on these with Photoshop. Just taken with shutter priority and this is how they came out. At the time the sky was in that deep transition phase from sunset to dark, which I think helped.
ReplyDeleteSpooky settings!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the beautiful pictures of the moon- I caught a picture of the moon at Cathedral Rock last weekend ~ http://www.yellowcanaryalert.org It was pretty awesome there too.
