19/365

Would you believe I took this shot off of a reflection of a lake?

No?

Well, good, because it's not.

The moon was blinding and I wanted a shot of it. It was clear so I took the tripod out to the back yard.

I've done moon shots before so I tried moving off the deck. It wasn't until I got to the computer that I saw the branch. I actually thought it looked kind of neat and that if you flipped your brain, it kind of looked like it was trying to TOUCH THE MOON.

Oh, yes. Profound.

I wanted the moon halo too, and it's sort of there. I closed down the aperture and slowed down the shutter for some movement, but I couldn't get both clouds/halo and clear moon at the same time.

I was washing my hands at the kitchen window tonight and saw this. Well, without the bird. I said, "There's my picture," ran down to get the camera, ran back and took some snaps.

The first few were totally zoomed in with just a bit of the tree and the moon in the shot. I looked away and saw some crows flying towards where I was shooting, so I recomposed and hit this shot.

Almost.

The crow was way above the moon. Using the magic of PSE, I moved it to just in front of the moon. It's a little hoky, but I like this version better than the original.

Beautiful day today, huh? Awesome!
