Chasing The Moon

After the great time I had on Thursday morning with the setting moon, I realised I would have another chance to get the moon setting at Lake Wendouree on Friday morning. A similar position to the day before, though it was about half an hour later and much lighter. The official full moon was Friday night so once again I positioned myself to catch the moon rising above the Fly Fishers Club. This was one of the best moon rises I have seen...it was a deep orange colour and there was the perfect amount of light cloud to add some texture around the moon, which also helps in taking away some of its overwhelming brightness. The big zoom lens really brings this one in close, whereas in the earlier moon shots I had been using a wider lens to give a more overall view.

After the morning moonset here there was a pretty good sunrise I captured around in Fairyland...I'll post a couple of those later on.
