Caught between the Moon and the Sun. - open out large

Caught between the Moon and the Sun. - open out large
The very last light of the sunset on the Right and in the middle the Moon coming up to the right the city lights of Esperance on the South coast of WA. A full 360 degrees of view a spot I found in the day that was worth the walk in the dark.

I took out a fellow traveler to show him how to take night photos. I am happy to say they all came out very well once I worked out all the camera settings and how to set up.

Peter the benefit of some planning and scouting in this case to try and make the most of this time. the place is just wonderful for black skies would be even better for deep space shots as well.

As Herb showed nothing that you also cant do apart from lock down, having been through 3 day of that as well not my fav time at all.we have another 7 days of partial to get through till its all opened up for us again.

the best bit of news the tropical rain made it down to Perth and has been falling since 3pm has helped kill the fires it has been so heavy.

you enjoy your weekend as well in safety.

Many Thanks Herb you know yourself Just how easy this is on the right sort of conditions. The very short window was worth taking before it all changed with the moon. Hope you stay well.

I agree with Herb, your photos need to be viewed in the largest size possible! Just incredible! I do envy you, "thanks" to the pandemic I have no chance of getting to see a dark night sky.

Steve Paxton club has replied to Gudrun club
Here I am with the very bitter taste of lock down but with the taste of freedom. thank you for that vote of confidence, and for being able to enjoy the night sky the way it was meant to be viewed. enjoy a bit of the real South west.
