Full Moon on the Rising
Posted by Lee (Fort Frances Ontario, Canada) on 28 February 2009 in Landscape & Rural and Portfolio.
This land formation is known as the "Sleeping Giant." The shot was taken along the city of Thunder Bay's waterfront two years ago at sunset. I have not altered any colours. The Lunar eclipse happened on this night. I took several shots of the moon as it rose. It progessively became full. I then placed ten of these shots in this photo.

Very well done, Lee. Without the moon, it is a stunning landscape photograph. The color of the sky and the way that it reflects on the snow is magnificent.

Great job with the sleeping giant as an anchor for the arc of the moon. Did you use fixed intervals for the moon shots?

Lee, your talent astounds me. How some big shot company hasn't snatched you up yet is unfathomable.

Wow Lee this is great! I have often wondered about doing a similar thing with the different phases of the moon during its waxing and waning cycle. This is superb!
