Hold on tight to your dream

It's full moon, time for a full moon shot. Last night I headed to a cemetery 12 miles away from the legendary Lick Observatory, located on Mt. Hamilton high above the Silicon Valley, California. My calculation was spot on, the moon appeared at the left of the observatory exactly at 5:50 pm and raised up towards the right. The moon is racing at a distance of 12.5 miles (20 km). It took only 3 minutes from the first sight of the moon to clearing the building.

 

I processed a balanced and a photographic HDR photos from a RAW exposure, blended them selectively, and carefully adjusted the color balance and curves. I welcome and appreciate constructive comments.
