Moonshine

My first attempt at a moonrise shot and I'm pretty pleased with it. I don't think I have ever watched the moon so intently and for so long before. (Thanks 365 Project!) I was amazed how quickly it moved across the sky and the way the light and color changed in just minutes. Quite an awesome sight!

Very nice Lisa great timing, the moon can be a great subject especially when you can incorporate it with an earthly foreground, this looks like a ball that is ready to roll down the hill.

July 23rd, 2013

The landscape colors are so beautifully "painted" in feel, and that moon, oh my! It's rather hyperrealistic! Beautifully captured . . .
July 23rd, 2013  
Wow, unreal shot!! One night a few months ago I had to film the moon for a project, and you are so right, it moves much more quickly than you'd expect!
July 23rd, 2013  
What a huge moon, and such a contrast with the landscape below! Beautiful shot!
July 23rd, 2013  
Wow, it is super, you must have had the experience that the moon jumped out of the mountain.
July 23rd, 2013  
Amazing view - the moon looks so huge! Great shot!
July 23rd, 2013  
The moon is balancing on the mountain. Beautiful capture. FAV

Wow, fantastic, I like the way it looks like it's perched on the top of the hill. Wonderful tones in this shot too.

I agree with Keith's comment about it looking like a ball ready to roll. I have tried once to take a pic of the moon as it was a disaster. Well done colours are wonderful.
