Definitely not true with MOONEYRISE  I really like it

Thanks Bill!  That was a fun shot to get.

FADED


Tried something new this time around.  I was going for an 'ombre' effect transitioning from one color to another and doing it all in-camera.  I made several attempts, and this one came closest to what I was seeking.  There are obvious flaws, most notably that the tip of the nose, canard, and inside of the starboard winglet weren't lit up, but I was also racing against the 'burn' of the moonlight, which would have easily overpowered both colors had I let the exposure cook for much longer.  Not sure this is an effect I'd use too much, if ever again, but the otherworldy appearance of the Starship seemed like a good 'proving ground' for it. 

C&C welcome as always.

Great stuff so far from the outing!
