The moon came to visit my town

RuiMLopes

Recently, after a shooting session of my favorite nightscapes, while heading home, I found this:



Here, I had to use a neutral GD 0,6 filter to darken the excessive light coming from the moon (unfortunately it also darkened the crosses on the top of the churches....)
I think that the the position of the two nice churches added a lot to the whole image.
I hope you like it!:thumb

GREAT capture and if you hadn't mentioned the darkening of the crosses I would never have thought to look for it. Still, a perfect use of the ND filter as this is wonderfully executed.

Thank you Rui

I took a look and again I was speechless. You live in such a beautiful place. The old buildings...water and what beautiful lights. I can only dream of visiting a place like that to photograph.

Amazing.....just amazing to my eye <img src="https://us.v-cdn.net/6029383/emoji/thumb.gif&quot; border="0" alt="" >
