“春夜新月空” / 香港中文大學夜之寧 The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) Night Serenity / SML.20130414.6D.00676.SQ

What I learned last night while doing this 30-second long exposure is that the moon moves fairly quickly. I actually also had a 2-minute shot, and while the landscape lies still the moon moves so far away that it looked like a mistake.

 

In photography, there is an almost cardinal rule that you do not place subjects in the center. But rules are meant to be broken, and I think that the moon works best when placed dead center for this particular scene.
