Shooting Moon

[Timmeh]

The morning I arrived I was hoping to get the setting moon near El Capitan, but it set a bit too early. So I went up again with an extra hour on my side, and this contrail actually looked kind of neat with the moon... I never thought I'd have a use for a contrail.

Interesting overlap of events in the scene - at a glance it really does look like the contrail is somehow coming from the moon

Still a very nice moonset with the early morning light kissing the high spots in the scene.

Pretty.

I really like this perspective, Tim. It is not one you see often. The contrail makes it look like the moon is a comet.

Very cool Tim! Finally a useful contrail!

 

[Jameel Hyder]

Nice, like it.

 

[Jim Dockery]

Nice. The contrail has dissipated enough to look more like a natural cloud, so it doesn't bother me at all (I also dislike them and often clone 'em out of my desert shots.).

Love that title! Great shot!
