Description

When I got up this morning, I was so struck by the beauty of the moon setting over the mountains to the west that I had to photograph it and share it with everybody. The camera was a Nikon D40 with a Nikon 300 mm telephoto lens operating at an EFL of 280 mm. The exposure was 1/8 sec at f/5.6 and ISO 200. The purplish halo around the moon and the yellowish cast of the moon itself were just as it appeared in the sky -- Mother Nature painted the scene with a beautiful palette! I processed the image using Photoshop CC 2018.
