Helpful Posts: I haven't been able to get a pic on either of the last two evenings. Tried again tonight. This was the best of a not-very-great bunch. Will try again over the next couple of evenings. Not over-impressed with this one.
The moon did struggle to make itself seen through the cloud cover, but it did oblige for a wee while.

Re: Perigree Moon rising over Arngask
Like the atmosphere, it takes me wherever I want
. Perhaps to crop top third

Re: Perigree Moon rising over Arngask
Well it's certainly much better than the moon rise I have achieved Donald

Re: Perigree Moon rising over Arngask
Lucky you, I have not seen the moon for the last few days. So Don't complain to loudly.

Re: Perigree Moon rising over Arngask
I like it. Evocative. I agree with Robert: I'd consider cropping from the top, but probably less than the 1/3 that Robert suggested.

Re: Perigree Moon rising over Arngask
Hmmm...lucky you...when Bill called me earlier from our airport while walking the dogs, to look at the moon, I was disappointed because our neighbours' houses across the road covered it. The atmosphere really made this shot. Very nice....

Re: Perigree Moon rising over Arngask
At least you saw it Donald. Couldn't even see the outline here. Maybe tonight. Nothing wrong with your image though.

Re: Perigree Moon rising over Arngask
It's obvious that I have been spending way too much time in my makeshift studio and not getting outside enough. I have looked at this image several times over the last day and every time I do so the sky looks like it is made of wrinkled background material. Clearly, this observation says a lot about me and nothing about the image.

Re: Perigree Moon rising over Arngask
There's quite a lot of noise in there, Mike, which I don't mind. Other than that, I upped the contrast and structure sliders in Silver Efex Pro, but not by much. Originally Posted by Mike Buckley

Re: Perigree Moon rising over Arngask
Well captured Donald, I do like this image.
I could only manage a late evening image by which time the moon was too high in the sky to be able to include any other features to give a sense of scale. The outcome of which is just another full moon image IYSWIM

Re: Perigree Moon rising over Arngask
That's the problem. Unless you have some sort of reference point/subject, one full moon is like any other full moon. Originally Posted by ST1

However, I had nothing else to focus on and even if I did, how would I know it was 795 yards away. That would still have meant that these trees had to be 400 yards away. They were not.
