Offworld Moonset
Last month I received an overseas communique(text message) from a Flickr friend inquiring about my whereabouts on a Thursday night.
It was my buddy Ralf Rohner otherwise known on Flickr as Skypointer.
The astronomer turned nightscaper was to be in-town looking for something to shoot, so last Thursday I took the night off and met up with what I used to call a Flickr friend, but I think Ralf is much more than that now.
An airline pilot by day and amazing photographer by night, that guy is crazy quick and had his tracker setup before I even acquired my first exposure.
As we scouted our composition and waited for the moon to set below the horizon we talked about the possibly of combining a moonburst into a nightscape with a Milky Way sky. We still had a while to wait until astronomical twilight so why not snap a few as the moon dipped below the horizon and see what we get.
Here's the resulting photo taken on a distant planet. :-)
This is a single exposure, at f2.8 lit using two LED panels on light stands using the Low Level Lighting technique.
I'm so happy to announce that I have been ask to return as a guest speaker at the Nightscape Photography Conference in Kanab, Utah on May 20th-23rd 2020.
