Full Moon Over Athos
Worth viewing large on black.
Sometimes you can end up in the right place at the right time and witness something really special. This was just such an occasion. I knew the full moon was rising around sunset as I had missed some great possible shots of it the day before because we were driving and I couldn't stop anywhere. Desperate to get some shots of it I thought my plans had been snubbed when we had to find a place to stay for the night and the sun was almost down.
By a stroke of luck we found a room and it overlooked this inlet in the sea, more like a lake really. I jumped out of the car and set up the camera, because the sunset was so nice. As I was shooting, I noticed the full moon rise just next to mount Athos and a big smile spread across my face.
I had no idea it would rise in that position and thought I had missed it. This is a single shot with a curves adjustment. The 70-200 proved worth it's weight on this occasion. Just a really magical evening. I also caught the sunrise the next morning, but it wasn't as special.
