You remember the moon don't you Teresa? :o) #9770589

Jeff E Jensen October 29, 2011

Yeah, I'm guessing composite?

Nice work! #9770605

Dale Hardin October 29, 2011

Composite? Me? :o) #9770649

Teresa H. Hunt October 29, 2011

Are the two tiny specks in the upper right corner stars? I'd remove them . . . . . or add more :) #9770739

Let's see "The Man in the Moon" a la Dale Style!

Kidding aside, it is a great shot and the moon looks great. Some moons really are that big but it would look a bit more realistic if it was just a tad smaller. But hey, what do I know? #9770766

Dale Hardin October 29, 2011

I don't see the specs Teresa but adding stars is a good idea.

Thanks Debbie. The moon is bigger because I moved my camera two feet closer when I shot it. :O) #9771003

Looks great Dale. I think I might like this shoat as well or better without the moon too. Great exposure and crystal clear. #9771366

Great job Dale... looking forward to the stars@

I really like this one Dale! I bet some night I might even be able to see this moon and maybe if I am lucky there will be no snow or rain in the picture.
I think you did a great job on this one and stars would be an welcome addition! #9771406

Teresa H. Hunt October 29, 2011

So Dale if you made the moon bigger by moving your camera two fee closer . . . . how'd you move it's location in the sky? :) #9771495

The POWER of Photography of course :) #9771502

Teresa H. Hunt October 29, 2011

Or at least the power of Photoshop! :) #9771504

Debbie E. Payne October 29, 2011

I saw a harvest moon last fall and yes, it was huge. We were traveling on the freeway and I could not shoot it in a moving car; although I'm sure Dale would have the perfect "fix" for that as well. The power of Photoshop is truly amazing. I still want to see Dale's face in the harvest moon. #9771529

Thanks everyone for having a bit of fun with this one. You have no idea how tempting it is to put my face in the moon just for you Debbie. :o) #9772279

Carla Capra Anderson October 31, 2011

Awesome Photoshop skills and not to mention photographic skills, Dale. I really like how you added the moon, sure adds drama and intrigue. My eye is drawn to the neon sign on the right. What is that a key?
Just beautiful.

You turned an already beautiful image of the sky line and turned it into something magical. Awesome edit! :~) #9774172

Dale Hardin October 31, 2011

Thanks Carla and Amiee. Teresa and I had such a good time that night. We hated to leave. #9774370

Teresa H. Hunt October 31, 2011

Yep, I took way more pictures than I needed to. The view was just so beautiful!! :) To bad Mt. Rainer was hiding . . . . #9774549

Teresa H. Hunt January 23, 2012

Dale, it was no trouble for me to drive to Seattle at all. I used to live up there and miss the area. So not only did I get to meet a great friend, I also got to visit an area I love. Anytime your in my area I'd be happy to drive 4 hours to go shooting with you. :) I really did have a great time hanging out with you. :) #9938240
