Description

During our trip to Hawaii in late July/early August 2019, I was able to observe the waxing crescent moon setting over the Pacific ocean from the Big Island on the nights of August 3rd and 4th. This is the first in a series of 3 images taken on the night of August 4th when the Moon was 22% illuminated.

Imaged using a Nikon D750 and Nikon 28-300 mm travel zoom at 135 mm and F/5.6. Three exposures at 1.6, 2.5, and 4 s and iso1600 were HDR combined using the easyHDR software package.
