I'm experimenting a little bit with a composite of two photos I took on Thursday in my local Arlington neighborhood. It's a two for one :) Right now, the blossoms and lilacs are drawing me in like the proverbial "kid in the candy store".
Best viewed in large.
After carefully watching the moon and its trajectory for the previous two evenings I was gutted when talking to my sister on the phone when she mentioned it was the full moon that evening. I was absolutely dropping and couldn't force myself back out. Instead I shot it hand held bracing myself on the small balcony of our caravan. On reaching home this afternoon I decided a simple composite the way to go. So this was a snapshot of Seagulls wheeling about above where our car was parked using the Fuji x100v and the shot of the moon using my d500 dslr with a 300mm f/4 lens plus a 1x4 teleconverter. I took lots of the moon so it may well end up where it should be which would be behind me not in front of me... I only snapped those gulls because Jonathan was laughing as I had been complaining because there were no gulls on the beach. He looked across and said they are all here :(

Having studied sculpture at a German academy of arts, I was always disappointed that a great deal of sculptural form and surface of the rock formations gets lost at night - even when applying low level lighting. Therefor I made a series of pictures using daylight shots of the landscape combined with the milky way sky. This series was taken at a location about one mile east of "Valley of Dreams" in New Mexico, all shots facing south.
This months full moon will be the closest it's been since 1948, it'll be roughly 14% bigger and 30 % brighter than an average full moon, the moon will appear at it's largest as it rises above the horizon.
The image above is a composite of three images captured this year, starting with the marina as the base image, with the stars and moon blended to create the final scene for fun. :-)
