Morning Trails

Morning Trails
It was suppose to be raining totally clouded, when I woke at 4 am I saw nothing but stars and the moon. I thought it would be great to capture a 22% crescent moon on a star trail as well. Through the 150 shots there was some wispy clouds blew past the moon hence the extra effect on the moon. I went to 5 shot of the pre dawn to add to the effect with the stars. This was looking almost Due East.

I had limited space as the dew fell very heavy so I had the camera under the roof for protection but limited the view of the sky I had. Enjoy a little out of the box thinking as I did not 100% know just what I would get apart from the broad moon trail.

Last Plane Home -Western Autralia Is now closed off to every body even Australia.

That moon looks surreal like something from outer space! I bet some people would say the aliens have come;-)

you could easily think it was coming in not going out of shot. the processing in the reverse order you loose the predawn colour. I will try this again if I get the chance with more sky in the shot. Glad you like it.

Thanks Steve keeping the mind active these days rather than TV watching and going dumb. You take care yourself so we can come out the other side of this.

An interesting effect with the moon trail being interacted with clouds. Good captures, Steve.

I have always shied away from a moon trail but being locked at home there was nothing else to do. I believe well worth doing all over again with more shots. You stay safe where you are in this time of change.
