Moon - Waxing Crescent w/Clouds!

Unread post by rjbokleman »

I shot 120 frames trying to get this one. I wanted a nice clear shot of the Moon with the surrounding cloud cover that was floating around last night. After reviewing them all, this one stood out as the best of the bunch. The cloud cover is subtle and will probably depend upon your monitor a bit to best effect. Clicking on the full size image will yield the best results.

Very nice Ron. As you said the clouds are very subtle, but that's what make the image so interesting. Jerry
