This whole Golden Hour challenge has me watching the clock, and so I continued to wait for the moon rise that Ken researched and said to start looking for it at 7:56. In the LA area, I'm guessing we have a lot of pollutants (ha...yah!) that distort the moon while it's low on the horizon. Ask me if I'm unhappy about that... Not tonight!
(I didn't alter the moon in any way...I was amazed at how it magnified the tree it was sitting behind!)
I'm happy you like that! I've just sent an email using another photo I took last night of the moon. You can use that idea to create beautiful images of your own!
