Moonrise - BW

Gallery: Man & NaturePosted February 21, 20081,198 views12 comments

I went out Tuesday evening to scout a good location for watching and photographing the lunar eclipse. I found this spot just after moonrise, and though I didn't get to shoot the eclipse, the scouting trip was at least worthwhile.

Beautiful composition, Dominic. The sweep of the fence is nice.
