Moon Song by pflaume

Moon Song

Afternoon moon rise over snow traced hills. Although the shot was taken in daylight, I opted for a low key B&W processing in Silver FX Pro which gives the image a night time feel and much more atmosphere than the color original had.

An entry for the BW-Bookclub.

My settings for this shot: 300 mm, ISO 100, f/11, 1/400.

A great low key shot Lisa...Fav.
February 18th, 2014  
Fantastic work and I really love the night atmosphere, so great processing! This feels somehow surreal, like I would be watching the moon from the moon, if you know what I mean -this feels like some kind of distant planet with the dynes. Fav
February 18th, 2014  
Stunning capture and instant FAV! It's such a dramatic shot.
February 18th, 2014

February 18th, 2014  
A big FAV!So many beautiful elements in this image!You made it look very cosmic!The hills look like being seen from the moon and at the same time there is much detail on the moon.Love the pattern on the ground,the lines in the clouds and the smooth tonal transition in the sky!Fantastic processing! I was wondering what lens you had used to capture such a distant object in an wide angle appearance?
February 18th, 2014  
exceptional shot favomatic
February 18th, 2014  
@my_photofun @elaine55 Hi Elaine & Darinka, Thank you both for your enthusiastic comments. So glad you like this shot. I took it with my 300 mm telephoto lens, ISO 100, f/11, 1/400. Elaine, I did not underexpose in camera. I processed it in Silver FX Pro and opted for a low key process. I tweaked it then to bring out the contrast to the moon. I hope that helps.
February 18th, 2014

@roadshow Thank you, Gloria, for your comments and favs on my photos today. It was so nice of you to stop by and I'm delighted you liked what you saw. :) I think you will really enjoy the Nik Suite. To be honest, at this point I only use the Silver FX program but that alone is worth it. It makes editing B&W a very fun and creative process.
