Description

When I got up the 26th I looked out and saw this setting moon. Grabbed the camera and braced it on the deck railing and quickly tweaked exposure until I halfway captured the clouds. There are even a few microscopic stars toward the left. The WB was on Daylight and I left it there, as moonlight is sunlight reflected from a close-to-gray surface.

Specific Feedback

All comments welcome!

Just the minimally adjusted raw file (mostly Shadows lifted) with a small crop and LR’s denoise. The moon was completely blown out.
