Okay, so the moon was only about 97% full. Close enough for government work!
It’s tough to find a balance…
..between the moon & the Christmas lights. The dynamic range is too large!
Up close and personal…
…it’s even worse. Overexpose the moon just enough so you can still see features, and you can barely tell there are Christmas lights to be seen here. But…
…pull in the Christmas lights and the moon is completely overexposed.
This is why composite photos are needed. Or you can get artsy-phartsy…
…and just go for something more abstract.
Time to post this before the electricity goes out. It is REALLY howling out there tonight, and it’s just a matter of time before the wind brings down a tree branch and we go dark!
