Moonrise over the Dentelles de Montmirail

[Donald]

Thank you Andrew, Louise, Jon, Antonio

Antonio - Re your comment about Adams. One of the challenges for me in making this was to not constantly be 'seeing' Moonrise, Hernandez in my head and to make my own image, not a copy of that work.

It would be naive and disingenuous to try and pretend that it (Moonrise, Hernandez) never featured in my thinking in the weeks that I planned and then finally executed this image. But I hope I have not just tried to copy what was done in that image, but have indeed made my own work.

As the haiku poet Basho once said, "don't follow in the footsteps of the masters, seek what they sought." A great example of that principle put to practice.

Nothining I can add except the word I keep for the best of the best...exquisite!

You can see those that I made from my recent holiday here on my own website, although I will move them into a gallery of their own quite soon.

The secret of this image is that the two exposures were taken some time apart.

Great tip for taking nighttime photos. Thanks.

Wonderful image. I too like how the hills are lit. Your blend worked really well.
