I call this photo Moncure Moon. As it was taken in a small town of Moncure, North Carolina.

The day before I took this I was driving back home, around dusk, from playing disc golf and noticed this plant with the crescent moon and I thought it would make for a cool photo.

So I came back the next day this time to photograph this plant with the setting moon and the sunset. The sun set directly behind the plant making a really nice gradient in the sky. You had this glow from the sun, that seemed to stick around forever, falling off into the coming night sky. I have 3 different versions of this that I like equally. An earlier silhouette, this one, and a later one, where the plant is more lit up. All of these are on my profile in you are interested.

To shoot this I was tucked back in a field across the road from the plant. I shot it around 70mm as I didn't want the plant to look to small from shooting too wide. At 70mm the entire plant wouldn't fit so I did a 4 frame panorama (4 vertical frames stitched together) to fit everything in. I merged the panorama together in lightroom, did some basic adjustments and finished it off with a few other edits in photoshop and Elia's software, Radiant Photo.
