False Moonset

I skied to where I thought the moon would start going down at the vertex of lines, and then ran around and adjusted as it approached the mountain. When driving home the moon had at least an hour until it actually set. All comments welcome!

Tim, great job, I love the snow on the mountain. Also, when it comes to astroplatenaryscape photos, I use an app called “ PLANIT Pro", which gives me a very good visualization of what to expect; I can pinpoint the GPS coordination of camera position.

I've used Photo Pills and Night AR, but composing on scene is more my style. I have a friend who uses PLANIT, so I guess I'll give it the once over.

TPE is the one I have used for years as it’s the original. And I have downloaded the newer apps, but I may be like you where I will use an app sometimes to have a general idea where the sun or moon is going to be, but I really enjoy the feeling of “guessing” and “hoping” and then some adjusting. For me there is just a cool thrill to that.

Great image Tim. I wasn’t sure what to expect from the title, and I enjoyed seeing what you meant by it. The composition has great lines and it’s always so cool to see the moon next to a ridge whether it’s rising or setting.
