“By the Light of the Moon”
I used to like the moon to be larger in the frame when I included it in photos. That is less the case these days, and I find the moon at 24mm to be a pleasing element in certain compositions. I particularly like the minutes during blue hour where the ambient light balances with the luminance of the moon, and it looks like the scene is lit by the moon’s silvery light.
I’m glad I came away from this morning with an image. I had never explored Ayrmer Cove before and I didn’t know the tide times. When I arrived, it was a high spring tide, and this iconic learning slab of rock seemed slightly small in the frame. With a bit of tweaking of perspective on the beach and some work in Photoshop, I came away with a pleasing enough image.
