I managed to catch a shot of a crescent moon as it dropped behind the house next door. I like the way the moon appears to be perched on the terracotta swan neck finial. I was surprised by the number of stars in the picture, as the light noise from street lamps usually obscures them.
I was using A Sony NEX-5N camera with SCN selection set on night scene, zoom lens and a tripod.
Nice shot. I have found that getting the right exposure for a shot of the moon is not all that easy. Your framing is really cool.
Thank you Mike. It was all luck and no judgement ๐
Oh, I’d agree that luck plays a big role in getting a lot of shots, but luck didn’t get you out of the house to take this one.
Wow what amazing shot! Looks like a cat on the roof ๐ Very nice!
๐ thank you, it does look like a cat now I look at it
Lovely to see the stars!
I agree, we don’t get to see enough of them living in a city ๐
This is dreamy. Night shots are never easy. You managed to pull this off beautifully.
Thank you, I surprised myself ๐
I saw a guru mediating with the moon on his shoulders. Awesome. {{{Hugs}}} Kozo
Thank you, Kozo, just like you ๐
