The Sun and the Moon: Edited to add last photo
I wanted to see how my 50 year old Canon FD 800mm f/5.6 s.s.c. would handle photographing both the Sun and the Moon.

Sterling in silhouette
I held a lighting workshop recently. Sterling was the model. I rarely shoot silhouettes but I wanted to incorporate that arch into a shot. Backlighting became an obvious choice.

a little blown out in the saturation i think bottom is very bright did you try and boost brightness in post
Thanks Joseph. Unfortunately there was light coming in from the right due to a small town being nearby, and the banks in the foreground are very light coloured limestone. But plenty of of learning to do.
lucky that you are in NZ!!!! epic dark skies...
