Description

March is always a good month for capturing the Moon lit by Earthshine as the ecliptic is steep to the western horizon in the northern hemisphere.

The portrait of the Moon is shot in a large range of exposures to create a high dynamic range image showing both the dimly earthlit portion in deep solar shadow and the starkly lit craters in the full glare of the sun.

The HDR process was done manually with gaussian masks in Photoshop PS2 on a stack of increasing exposure lengths.
