Thanks :)

With a moon that size in relation to the mountains, I would have bet a month's pay that this is a blended image. Yet you indicate it has not been manipulated. Do I owe you a month's salary? (BTW, I'm retired, so right or wrong, my bet puts me in no danger.)

The picture has been taken in Raw file format and exposed twice and then blended . The size of the moon has nothing to do with this blending . The lense being 70 -300mm , I got this size ; in fact I was also carrying 18-70mm but I changed to 70-300mm to get the bigger size . Since this picture has exposed twice and then blended and according to PN's definition , I have made a mistake in putting this as unmanipulated . Most of the landscapes from my recent trip Sandakphu and Phalut have also been exposed twice and should be treated as manipulated ( before I can correct them ) .

 

But have this definition of what is manipulated what is unmanipulated been changed (after 2003 ) ? Whatever it is , the moon's "size" has nothing to do with whether the picture is manipulated or not .

 

Rgds and thanks for your comment .

Tuhin, I was just asking (or thinking) whether the moon was actually this large relative to the mountains when you saw it, or if its size has been increased when the images were blended. From your reply, I think you took two photos, both at the same focal length but different exposures (to account for the moon's brightness, and then blended those two exposures -- is that correct?

 

I've done a similar blend, but I increased the size of the moon a bit because it is such a strong feature.

I took a single photo in Raw and exposed twice during post processing ; this is the size of the moon which my 70-300 mm D lens saw and there is no increase in size of the moon during blending through post processing .

 

Thanks .

 

 

Apurba. Gives me a feeling of serenity and loneliness. The technical job is very well done. Best regards.

Asadharan. Jadio ami Raw filming er byapar ta thik jani na, tabuo satti darun laglo. Tomake mail kore jante hobe Raw er fanda ta ki.

Tuhin, tomar tola chander chabi dekhe Sukantar sei bikhatya line mane porlo-"Purnimar Chand jeno jhalsano ruti". Lyrical image.Anyone who has seen Himalayan peaks during full-moon light ,will nerver forget that 'mayabi raat'.When you reply to Kaushik, please endorse a copy to me for learning.

Beautiful scene, Tuhin. Excellent composition with a very agreeable atmosphere. Congrats!

Good post production.

 

By the way when is the right time to visit Sandakphu with family Dec. or Mar ?

 

Thanks

In Nov-Dec , the sky is clear ; it usually do not snow in early part of Dec , so one can go but it would be too cold ( 0 and minus ) ; April - May the beauty is different because of the flowering season but one can not guarantee a clear view of the peaks .
