After a long night with visitors and seeing a freind out, as we both looked up, A nice Lunar Halo caught our eyes. Before long, I drove to the Gold Coast to try capturing the still just visable halo from within the city.
Finding a suitable location to set the moon behind the planned skyscraper subjects needed some thought !
Quite happy and rather amaised with the results,
Hope they are worth the Squizz ,,

Thanx so kindly for the complimenting words every one, really appreciate the feedback & glad you found it worthy :thumbsup:

Just a bit of insight to the captures as both had very different circumstances, as the 1st Image was only a single exposure luckily because of the shaded dark location & the general surroundings were favourable for a single !
The 2nd Image was quite a different kettle, tho enjoyable challenge as this location was heavily lit up in the foreground & I needed four exposures to capture the dynamic range, the fun started with PS and layer exposure blending : )
Here are the four oridginal Images, tho I have cropped a bit of the top with the Final !, Hope you find it interesting ,,
