Mallards Rest.

Captured the first full moon of July, rising above the Absaroka Range and over the Yellowstone River, at Mallards Rest south of Livingston Montana.




On my calibrated monitor at home it seems light enough to see details in the trees and mountains, but on my work monitor it seems a bit dark.

C&C is welcomed.

Hey Phil,

Very nice shot of a truly intoxicating landscape. My monitor also reads the scene as a little dark. I tell you something that really impacted me; it makes a huge difference in PP work as to what angle of view you have to the monitor. I was caught off guard by not realizing how little a change in angle of view can impact, significantly, the appearance of the image....most notably in a brighter/darker relationship.

Keep sending the good stuff our way,

Tom

Eye catching! Details are just fine! Moon is tough subject!

Tom, Thank for the kind words of support. I always strive to be 90 deg. to the monitor when working, but as you point out the slightest variation can affect the final outcome.

Taz, thanks for the response. I never realized how fast things change or move in the sky until I tried shooting the moon.
