Project 26 - Shooting the Moon



The first image was taken with settings 1/250sec f7.1. The moon was high in the sky as it was necessary for the sky to darken. At moonrise the moon was barely visible.


The second image was taken with settings of 1/125sec f5.6. some two minutes after the first image.

As an exercise this was frustrating largely because of the weather that meant there was rarely a clear sky when the moon was full. On a number of occasions I had set up my camera ready only to find the cloud cover increasing.

I found the 'landscape' element of the project something of a problem. Using Photoshop or Lightroom it would have been possible to lighten the landscape element  and I also considered creating a montage with the moon and a landscape but felt that neither of these options were not in the spirit of the project.
