Good work Joseph.Yes I have similar shots but they are in my archives somewhere. I took some in the Flinders Ranges some time ago.

I've seen it regularly in the morning but not that i remember at 3 in the afternoon

The ones I took were about 3 or later in the afternoon. More recently when watching a live telecast of Test Match cricket in Australia the TV cameras sometimes zoomed in on daylight shots of the moon.

Joseph, you remind me of the movie industry that has maximally exploited similar scenes with shifting of the focus point :)

hahaha

This is really a daylight fill flash portrait Joseph of the man in the moon.A sunpak flash obviously.I think the left side needs to be lightened a little.

Nice one! Maybe lifting the shadows a little bit on the branches in front would balance it a bit more. But I like the different layers!

Thanks Daniel since this was behind my house comp was a struggle and I didn’t just want a pic of the sky I had the branches lighter but felt the contrast actually made the moon appear brighter
