Timing is everything

and you had the good sense to grab the camera and go for it. Just a really neat shot and very deserving of Picture of the day.

Re: Timing is everything

Thanks, Dean. It's always the timing which marks the good shots. But moonrises are so much more difficult to capture than colourful sunsets, most of all since the moon is incredibly bright compared to the night sky. You gotta have the luck to see it before the sun goes down, but also while the sky is not too bright nor too dark. A small timeframe ...

Very Poetic,

"The Moon and the Tree", sounds like a collection of poems, and great lighting too.

Re: Very Poetic,

You know, Ejnar, I always wanted to have a collection of moon shots. I would have called them "Moonscapes". However, this is the first decent one so I guess the publication will have to wait a little :-)

Hey Stephen, you can keep your hat on. I was lucky, that's all.

Re: Ditto

Thanks! I didn't even realize that the pic might ecome good when I shot it. Later on I mused whether I should have stayed and should have experimented with different exposures and a different lense. I'm sure if I had the blue would be a much darker hue. But would the picture be better? Finally I'm happy with it as it is, and that it took only a single shot.
