New Year Moon


 

BetterPhoto.com Editor's Pick  
New
New "Year" Moon

First Moonrise of 2011 - While patiently waiting for the First Sunrise (in the below freezing morning air) I got to experience the First Moonrise of the year as well. That is Venus playing the part of the "Moring Star".

Tamron 18 - 270 VC at 18mm. ISO 100, 1.6s @ f14.0, EC 0 (N&L) Adjustments with PSE9 and Topaz Adjust.

  You pulled out some good effects for this piece Jeff. I can see why as the moon and venus get lost without your help.

  Super low light shot Jeff. If I could get up and get out early I might have a few more memory cards filled. That early reminds me to much of PT in the morning LOL

  My preference also lies with your moonrise image, but two wonderful early morning captures Jeff! It was well worth the discomfort and early start!

  Wonderfull DD work and great mood created Jeff!!Texas looks and sounds a lot like many parts of Australia with weather extremes.We have gotten off pretty lightly from the heat so far but look out its our worst months now and I expect temperatures to soar soon!

  Great shot, wonderful colors. I saw the moon rising yesterday morning, but was not where I could shoot it until later. It was indeed a beautiful new moon coming up.

  I was going though some of the different sections that BP has to offer and one of the sections I found had to do with before and after looks from different artist and I found some of yours right away. No dought this one will be added to the catagory.
I love both versions and what you were able to see and experience with the rising moon, both so gorgeous in colors and looks, love the clouds of the first one and the look and feel if it. I especially love the location of the moon and how we get to see how it raised. All the effort you put forth really payed off with this beautiful work my friend. Incredible.

  Both are outstanding, Jeff - love the moonrise with Venus - a very special capture beautifully composed and presented! I continue to be so impressed that you get up at these insane(to me!) hours - how can you see? When do you sleep? Seriously, your effort and hard work is justly rewarded with unique images that nobody else has.
