moon

When it raining outside I stay inside to play. I like this photograph but I wonder if I should replace the Lamp in post with a photo of the moon. Not sure my Photoshop skills are up to it and I rarely photograph the Full Moon...the terminator makes for more interesting photographs (imho). Setup...

Last night's "Pink" Supermoon. 31 images taken handheld with R5 + 800mm + 1.4x. Stacked and mineral moon processed in Photoshop.

Got room for about three more. A work in progress.

This is a working composite over the next couple of weeks.

Although i mostly photograph Wildlife and some Aviation i do like to shoot the Moon when the skies are clear. This image was with the R5 and the EF800mm + 1.4tc.
