[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
The moon rises over the low horizon, the night suddenly turns to day, As it rises and takes its path across the lake it shines in the window and I wonder is it morning or night?


Just another attempt of mine to capture the moon, I took a billion shots with differnet settings but I liked this one because of the starburst.


Thanks for visiting!

Donna

For those who are keeping track, last word 10PM on the 31st My ship will come in...:o)

Hi Donna,
Great composition with the moon rising over the lake and the trees. I have never been able to capture the moon nicely. You did great here.

Very lovely. I especially like the 'sparkle' around the moon.

Great capture of the moon - I really like the blue tones and the compostion. Nicely framed.. great presentation.

Hi Donna,
This does look like a daytime shot, especially with all the colors that are in view! Nice composition, and I always love it when a starburst makes an appearance.
Great job,
Karen

hi Donna,
thanks for this quiet and power landscape although a little dark. I like the idea of the moon in form of a star. These eerie landscapes fascinate me. Well done.

This is really good! I've never gotten a good moon picture. Love the full moon, although at my job it can be pretty hectic on night shift :) TFS

A delicate image Donna. Well composed and the colour and detail lovely. TFS,
David

Hi Donna,
wonderful mood photo, so quiet but powerful. Blue tones are clearly and little bit mistic.

A wonderful view of the lake and the moon. I like your burst, very much, as well. the framing sets it off beautiful. Really vivid colours for a night scene. Excellent.

Thanks for sharing.
Wanda
4 more sleeps, till your ship comes home.

Hi Donna

Moody & atmospheric with a dark & forboding look & feel. Just in time for Halloween! The dark blue sky & yellow starburst moon create a nice colour contrast. Tfs!

the moon although it appears at night need daylight exposure..what you see is the suns light reflected
its hard because then all the earth is black
this looks like a sun to me and if you hadnt noted and i saw the house lights..i would have thought it was a stopped down daylight shot...
moons are usually taken without any starburst f22 but i feel this is a winner due to the sheer improvisation you used including the tripod to get the solid shapes and sharpness
well done!
cheers
geof

Excellent compo and blue tones, with the moon, the distant lake and the trees on the FG. Strange night/day light and feeling...

TFS,

Andreea

That Donna is a great picture. It throws me back to my autumn night shot. You did it well...and did it your way...something like Frank Sinatra yes? Dang as long as I have you I don't have to miss my lakes so much. I have your pictures.
Bob

Hi Donna:
Excellent shot taken by moonlight, I find it rare to see such a well exposed shot taken with moonshine. Great colour with a very interesting detail with the house lights .........Thanks Roman:0)

An excellent attempt at capturing the moon! I've found that the moon is moving so fast that a long exposure just makes it blurry, but the night shot NEEDS are sharp exposure.....It's maddening! You did a great job here! Love the star pattern on the moon!

take care,

John

Hello Donna,
A lovely capture of the moon!
When I try to do thet it never comes out so well...
The image is very well composed, and you even manage to record autumn colours in what's left of foliage!
Greetings,
Pablo -

Hi Donna, this is superb! I love the mood you captured here with the moon over the trees and the nice colours even if it is in the dark tones, we see them very well.
Great comp and very sharp!

Take care, Yan :)

Beautiful capture Donna. Well composed with excellent exposure and colors.

TFS,

Hi Donna, This is VERY nice! Would love to know how long the exposure time was. The blues here are superb! and am very surprised with the amount of color you was able to capture in the darkness. The points around the moon kinda reminds me of the Bethlehem Star. A very nice shot Donna!
