A cloudy Full Moon over Brisbane city

[StephenM (Stephen)]

Hi all,

I haven't had much of an opportunity to do any nightscape photography for a while, but I knew that the Full Moon would be rising behind Brisbane city tonight so I had a go at capturing it. Lots of cloud around (especially near the horizon), but this gave quite a nice effect once the Moon started to emerge.

This is a 1.3 sec exposure with my Canon 6D and 70-200 f/4L @ 200mm, f/4.5 and 400 iso.

Thanks for looking!

Cheers,
Stephen

Hey, that is very good !
Almost 'Gotham City' like. Very surreal.
Nice work.

sorry don't like it - the light pollution is not even

I hate having a photogenically challenged city I live in, you post skylines like this....
