La Luna





















At a mere 241,390 miles our nearest neighbour cast's it light onto a cold November evening. 1/13th Sec at Iso 100 has captured some lovely detail. Despite being only a few degrees above the horizon. I have removed the atmospheric colouring and returned the image to black and white. I have just had a thought here is the original pic too. I think it takes a more romantic quality in B&W. Which one do you prefer?.

Prefer the original rather than the B&W as that is how it is seen as it rises and never ceases to astound me when I see it live.
