Full Moon Rising

The moon and clouds were fairly impressive tonight, and I can't do them justice. This was taken with a telephoto as the moon passed by the antennae of the Sears (Willis) Tower.
Thanks for your lovely comments on my urban abstract yesterday. You helped me see it in a more positive and interesting way.

Lovely and atmospheric with the moody swirly clouds

I like this a lot, it's deliciously spooky. Just needs a cloud of bats maybe? Fabulous shot, that lens must be pretty darned good.

[Sheralee S]

Lovely moody shot, those clouds look very threatening.

Really like this - very atmospheric and eerie. Lovely blue against the gold in the foreground fav

[HappySnap]

Super light on those clouds from a silvery moon.

[Rob Z]

I like the two components of the image - that lovely silvery moon with its aura and its effect on the clouds and then the contrast of the man-made golden spires in the opposite corner..

[haskar]

Beautiful Easter Moon!

[Joan Robillard]

I took a cellphone in the middle of the night - it was pretty among the clouds

Your clouds are fabulous, mine were fast moving thin ones that just got in the way of the moon! This is a wonderful capture of the scene before you. Oh my.

Incredible picture.

A wonderful sky

[Helen Jane]

The cloud seems to be making way for the moon - in a 'parting of the red sea' sort of way. Much atmosphere.

[Catherine Otley]

I so love the colours brought out on the clouds by the moon's light.

[Junko Y]

[Ron]

So cool. How did you manage to get that perspective?

[Taffy]

@stray_shooter I was on the 33rd floor with my lens at 300mm pointed slightly up. I had missed the moon lower in the sky (it moves quickly!), so I focused on spires of the Sears Tower in manual, but spot metered the moon to avoid it being totally blown out.

[Ron]

@taffy Worth the effort. It's an amazingly opportune shot.

[Lee]

Very atmospheric.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

Very cool- it certainly sets a mood with those clouds.

[CC Folk]

Dramatic sky! Fav.
