Shot this just before sunrise this morning, sort of as an afterthought... Not much PP aside from the vignetting.

Very nice - Could do with rotating very slightly as the lighthouse looks as though it is leaning to the right a touch...
I looked out of the window a couple nights ago and saw a lovely large moon rising between some clouds and thought "Grab camera...Quick".
By the time I had it outside with a long lens mounted on a tripod, it had bloody gone behind the clouds! I can never quite seem to capture these types of shot in time! |

Just a bump for the evening crowd... comments, anyone?

| Move the moon up and to the right. |

Dang, pesky moon, never where you want it to be...
I'd have LOVED to shoot it with the 70-200mm but there's crap over on the right....

Could move the tower down and to the left a bit if the moon won't cooperate...
Nice shot. If it weren't for the darn lights on the schoolhouse in my backyard, I'd get a moonrise for you - when it comes up over the houses yonder this time of year, it's HUGE. |

Left you a comment before I saw this. How can crap on the right affect using a tighter crop (with the higher mag)? |

Well, to move the moon up and to the right, it needs to be in that area of the sky a little earlier and a little more to the right, which isn't how I found it. I would have loved a closer juxtaposition of moon and lighthouse, but as I moved over to the right more to accomplish this I hit a chain link fence around the property, plus there's a big-ass old sign behind the fence...
But I do kind of like the tonalities of this...

No, that's not right: it needs to be a little higher at that exact moment of the cusp between twilight and sunrise, not a "little earlier"...

Ah, now I see, crap where you need to stand.
I'm neck deep in a whole series of calculations on moonrise and sunset positions for my moon/sun over Madison series. Several of the moon shots are already done, but I'm still searching for that killer "moon behind the capitol" shot. I had to reasonable opportunities this summer, both foiled by clouds. I went out to shoot the sunset behind the capitol tonight, mostly to get a fix on azimuth positions. The real shoot will come in a few nights.... |

I love it. I think it is very crisp. Like you, I love the tones.
