Very nice composition. The clouds above the moon adds interest. Action: Quote \| Ignore User Member Since: June 27, 2010 Comments: 3141

I agree the clouds add interest. They nearly foiled the whole thing, though. As we drove out to the site, I noted that while the forecast was for 20% cloud cover, it seemed to be concentrated in the southwest. I thought at the time that either it would ruin things completely, or it would make the shot nicer. Unfortunately, I got a bit of motion blur in the photo. I think I like the video better.

Great catch! The buildings in the foreground make the Moon seem huge. Action: Quote \| Ignore User Member Since: July 26, 2006 Comments: 168
