Half Moon

Look,rate and critique will be welcome.Thanks!

Shots like this are difficult, and the overexposed crescent is somewhat distracting, but the colors and composition are lovely, and the earth-glow face of the moon looks great! Cheers.

This shot immediately grabbed my attention when I saw the thumbnail, so I had to pull up the full frame and figure out the "what" and "how." I find it incredibly intruiging ... and beautiful.

Hello Daniella....

 

There is a solution for such a shot... You download and install a software called photomatrix... Then use the AEB bracketing setting and take the same shots with 3 different exposures +3, 0 and -3... Then you open the program and Generate and HDR... You load the three images, then wait for the program to load.. When it is finished press Ctrl+T and then you will see the final result... It also has the option where you can tune the photo.... This will result in a photo that has the correct exposure for both the moon and the surroundings.

 

Hope I have been helpful
