Perfect timing Sandy. I feel like I am walking through a lunar portal. Great photo.

A very cool shot. Good planning and timing. I assume this was taken at moonset. You could probably get a similar shot with the sun setting. I'm curious as to the technical aspects, as I've tried similar shots with little success. How far away from the gate were you to get both the moon and gate in focus, and were you able to plan/calculate this prior to the shot?

Ooh very clever! Seems to be obviously tilted left.

Thanks, Kah Kit - corrected, and moon brightened a bit too.
