Mostly on Wednesday I post on photos from my Monday and Wednesday early morning walks; but this week has been different - the morning moon and associated morning light has been special; and though I have put up a couple of images on FB I thought I'd like to share a few more on the blog. That is an indulgence I know…..
The photos were taken over two mornings - Monday and Tuesday - around the same time between 5.30am-6am. However, the actual moonset on Tuesday was a fair bit later and so the colour was washed out by the rising sun.

I felt it was worth being up early to capture this light and moon. The more clearly defined telephoto photos were taken with the Canon Powershot.

And the light in the valley on Tuesday.
That last photo is incredibly beautiful
ReplyDeleteI am completely entranced by your lunar photography and jsut a tad envious. The setting moon .... from here I enjoy the risng of the moon over ocean but somehow that seting moon - or is it must the imagery, fills me with awe and warmth. Thanks for sharing your early morning walks. x
