On March 31st, I woke before the sunrise and raced out of the house to capture the moon setting near Abbot Hall. I shared that image as soon as I returned home but held on to this shot taken five minutes earlier until now.
I had watched the moon descend into clouds and wondered if it might reappear in the small clearing you see here. While I waited, the sun rose and bathed Abbot Hall in the soft light of dawn. As luck would have it, a lone bird flew overhead and into perfect position to create some drama in the morning sky.
My luck held out as the moon did make it into that clearing and allowed me to create two very different images with essentially identical compositions.
Very nice shot
Inclusive panoramic, precious,TAKE.
That bird makes it an extra special shot imho
Thanks Isaac. Bird isn’t in perfect focus due to shutter speed which bothered me at first but I kind of like the implied motion now.
Beautiful photo, captured at the right time…magnificent
Great pictures
Again beautiful!
I like the contrast of the implied motion of the bird and the clarity of the rest of the scene bathed in the soft light of dawn!
