Moonrise: Grand Canyon

Very beautyfull shot! Bye Fabio

taken during dusk. This is a composite of two shots, both taken at

300 mm. Although the moon is added artificially in photoshop, both

the pictures (canyon & moon) were taken at the same instant from the

same location. The problem was, the moon was too high in the sky to

get both the canyon and the moon in the picture frame. So I had to

use this digital trick. Let me know, how you think this is.

Great picture with excelent composition and very nice colors. Bravo !

Excellent colors and idea, although I think having the moon placed in the right or left third of the sky, rather than centered, would have made the shot more interesting for me...very nice though.

Hi Dennis, I placed the moon where it actually rose from. But you are right, since the picture is digitally altered anyway, best thing is to put objects where they look best.

How long have you been waiting for this seeing? Great pic. Thanks

Well, it looks like a digital trick.....not very interesting.

Somehow, it does not look natural. I know that it is a digital alteration, but placement of the moon, its size and color - all leads to that look. May be a vertical composition with more of the canyon can help (with moon placed higher)...anyway, it is a eye catching and nice image. Thanks

THanks for this wonderful Moment of Light!

I have given you 7/7!

Be blessed!
