Full moon on Shipwreck Beach, Kaua'i

This is a really great shot. The clouds really add to this picture.

This certainly is unique in that this is a moon rather than sunset shot. I take it that the trees in the foreground are lit up by the hotel lights. That is what makes this image good in my opinion. I personally have had a difficult time getting my moon exposures to be just right. This is probably similar to what I have been getting in that the scene looks good, yet the moon is blown out. I have recently taken some with a graduated sunset filter that has really helped me get the details in the moon, AND have enough light to get the rest of the scene as well. Still the natural lighting of the moon is interesting, and this is over-all a very good capture.

This image is best viewed in the "Large" format.

great shot! the clouds and sky are great. the only thing that bothers me is that the moon got exposed so much and isnt circular due to the clouds. other than that though, its very nice.

I love it. Great work!!!

Very nice composition.

Lovely image - congrats on taking the time and effort to try this! Moonrise, indeed. What an awesome scene - especially for anyone who's every been there and seen it ... i can almost smell the flowers and ocean.

 

ps.... thanks for rating my Reagan photos.
