    Moon over the Islands

    Moon falling over the Islands this morning. Taken from our house. Not sure correct exposure, focus etc. But gave it a go.

    Moon over the Islands

    (no sharpening)

    Thanks for viewing

    Not bad at all. I can see detail in the moon so it isn't blown out and there is somewhat detail to the mountains.
    Shots like this can be a difficult balance to do in one shot.

    I liked its simplicity...i think a bit more darkening will work and rotating one or two degree anti-clock wise is a must; otherwise the river will soon drain out

    Lol. Simple I enjoy. Your points are great... I actually lightened this a bit but the original was probably better. And shame on me for posting crooked. That simple little green line isn't hard to miss and use 😔

    Thanks. I was running out of time (taken from our deck), and tried different exposures. This one I lightened a bit and probably should not have. The focus point was the moon, so maybe I should have softened the islands/mountains a bit.... or took an entirely different approach and a different depth. It was fun trying. Getting a better grip on the fujifilm workings.

    I like the simplicity as well. A vast expanse with only 4 things, air, water, earth and a boat. Very nice.

    Having fun is what it is all about
    I think it looks good. The moon can be a tough subject at first.

    You done it in one shot, nothing blown, well executed.
