Moonrise 5 second exposure
|

Gibbous Moon
Even a Gibbous Moon can produce a great deal of light at 8300 feet.
It's hard to expose it correctly against the darker backdrop of the
ground and dark-wooded buildings. For this particular image, I used two
filters: a 2-stop and a 3-stop graduated ND (neutral denisty) filter,
and stacked them together to create a 5-stop grad ND to keep the moon
from blasting through, and to keep the sky dark enough to balance with
the ground. The result is clear: a nicely exposed image (5 seconds at
f5.6) that properly shows the scene "as it looked."
