Playing around without my equipment 9/24/2022

Post by rigel123 »

Alas, I am without my equipment on vacation in Hilton Head, SC but have been enjoying all of the posts from many this past week. So thought I would contribute this bit of sunrise. A bit of foolery with Photoshop since I could not get this barely illuminated moon in the shot if the sun was indeed rising since the light would have totally washed it out. When I got up this morning I glanced at the horizon and almost thought I was witnessing a lunar eclipse. The moon was very low on the horizon and the Earthshine on the moon was a reddish hue similar to what a lunar eclipse can look like. I realized that it was just the atmosphere causing the reddish color since as the moon rose it was barely a sliver of light. So I took some shots after it had risen quite a bit and then waited for the sun to just pop up over the horizon and took some shots so the sky was close to the same darkness as those that I shot the moon in. I then combined the two pictures so in reality, the moon is much too close to where the sun is in this picture than in reality...but it makes a nice artsy shot!
