Moonlight Drive -
One evening a few co-workers went out to view the moonrise. We only had to drive a short distance before someone notice light on the northeast horizon. We pulled off on the shoulder. The sun had already set leaving a kaleidoscope of colors in the distant southwestern sky as everything else ebbed into the blue hour. We had the best of two horizons for a few minutes, then all attention was on an amber moon rising in a deep azure sky.

I manually focused, while metering off the moon with my camera exposure compensation defaulted to -2/3 a stop. This image was 90-95% complete out of camera. Minimal post processing to get a proper blue hour balance between the foreground and sky while making the moon and the snow highlights.
