Last night I went into D.C. to capture the Moon rising above the U.S. Capitol. I had planned out my shot the day prior using some photography apps and they were very helpful, but not precise. Thankfully there weren’t many people and not much traffic to deal with and so I moved around quite a bit to try different compositions. I worked on this one and managed something I like. If you’ve ever tried to photograph the Moon you’ll know that exposure is not easy…the Moon is very bright! I ended up blending a few separate exposures and using quite a few brushes in my digital darkroom to make this image. I really need to learn more about Photoshop to improve my blending, but I am generally happy with this image. In addition, I enjoyed running around making photographs and helping an older woman who had accidentally set her camera on a bracketing mode. Enjoy!
