Got lucky with the sunset/moonrise on the first night, then got rewarded on the last night with a bit of rain, a peek of sun, a monsoon sky, and a rainbow over Cathedral Rock. Still sorting and processing...haven't gotten to the avatar yet. "Fat, drunk and stupid is no way to go through life, son". - Dean Wormer

Colors are nice and vibrant without being too much. Just right. I find the colors too saturated for my tastes. Those of you using Adobe for processing, switch to Vibrance instead of any master saturation amount.

ToddLambert I don't like titles  More info | Aug 20, 2011 18:08 | #7 I like it very much. I'm fine with the saturation, as with glow time, it very well can look like that. Would you still de-saturate it, even if it's true to life?

No "master" saturation boost or vibrance adjustments of any type were made...PP for this was minimal and very simple...basic setting of white and black points, slight curve for contrast, capture and output sharpening, and pulled back the moon highlights just a hair...that was about it. The setting sun did the rest... Todd Lambert wrote in post #12969381 I like it very much. I'm fine with the saturation, as with glow time, it very well can look like that. Would you still de-saturate it, even if it's true to life? Hey Todd. Yep...the glow was caused by the setting sun. Shooting conditions were ideal. The glow lasted for about 5 minutes, which allowed for quite a few shots. I preferred this composition out of the others since the moon was basically centered, with the outside edges of the rock drawing up into the moon. The moon started out from the right upper hand corner of the left-most rock formation... "Fat, drunk and stupid is no way to go through life, son". - Dean Wormer

Nature can put on spectacular shows, it's shame so many just jump to,"Oh he saturated that, it obviously didn't really look like that in real life." Oh well. Nice shot. Sulli Gibson

Everyone has an opinion, and I'm not going to diminish any of them, pro or con. A lot of up front planning went into the shot, and even still I needed to rely on a little luck with the weather. Generally, the best light in this area when shooting a full moon occurs the day before the full moon...that's when the moon and sun are both in the sky at the same time, which really lights up the rocks with the golden glow and keeps the moon bright. My avatar pic was shot two years ago on the day of the full moon...as you can see, the light was totally different since the sun had already gone down. I was there waiting on the day before, but the cloud cover was too great...sometimes you just get skunked and have to settle for what you can get.
