Some photos I took during the "blue super moon" that we had at the end of August in Boston. I consulted the Photographer's Ephemeris and saw that the moon would be rising over the Boston skyline. Nancy and I positioned ourselves on the opposite bank of the Charles River and I spent the next hour or so running like a madman up and down the river to get the moon at various positions over the skyline.
We were treated to a colorful sunset backdrop to the Charles River and the Boston University Law building. The clouds capturing the wonderful color foreboded a tricky photography session for a full moon.
The moon starting to rise over the skyline. You can see that clouds were significantly occluding the moon. This was exposed for the moon and I used Lightroom Classic masking to brighten the lights of the buildings.
The moon popped out clearer for awhile as it rose near the John Hancock Tower.
The John Hancock Building radio towers silhouetted in the moon. This was the photo I used for 52Frames that week.
Two minutes later, the moon was significantly covered by a passing cloud, showing how lucky I was to get the previous shot.
After that the moon was always partially shrouded in cloud. I exposed for the skyline and let the moonlight spread through the clouds. You can also see the planet Saturn in this photo to the upper right of the moon. It was a very nice night for photography, although I'm left with some "what if" questions if it was a truly cloudless night

Don, nice set of photos. I like the silhouetted radio towers best.
I must try this with my RF 800 F11 as I have a clear view to the rising moon at the horizon level for most of the year.

Shamrock, or Oxalis produces very delicate flowers. I photographed these a couple of days ago and added a touch of softening and glowing effect, almost like the well-known Orton effect in Lightroom. The photograph is a focus stack of three images in Photoshop.

There is a dream-like quality to this image that I really like. Nicely done!

Thank you, Mike. I tried to achieve that dream-like look. Good to hear it may have worked.

The info provided by DxO indicates that the distance from subject to camera (actually, my R5's sensor) was 3.3 metres.
There's a first time for everything; and that includes shooting insects with an RF 100–500 zoom!

I missed this from earlier in the month. Very nice photos of the castle from different angles; the sky came out nice too. I actually traveled to Morpeth for work over 20 years ago. I was not aware of this castle and did not have a car anyway. Although, one day a co-worker who had rented a car drove us to Bamburgh Castle, which was nice too. But I think I might have enjoyed Warkworth betterImages from our recent visit to Warkworth Castle, Morpeth, Northumberland, England.
(Shot raw and processed using: DxO PhotoLab Elite/ ViewPoint and Adobe Lightroom Classic/ Photoshop with TK-9 Panel).
You can find out more about Warkworth Castle by clicking Here.
*** We are away now until mid-September, so will be unable to provide any feedback/ comments until after our return. ***
We'll be back...

Another Oxalis, or Shamrock flower set. Treated to a slight soft focus effect in Lightroom.
