Night Moon Date: August 1st, 2007 Location: Edisto Island, SC Camera: Canon EOS Digital Rebel XT

Info

This is another photo I took using a longer shutter speed (30 seconds). The moon is extremely bright, but it casts an interesting light on the scene. It is countered by the man-made light on the house across the street. The clouds have a very soft, wispy quality due to the slight blur from the longer shutter speed. The power lines cut through the picture in such a way that many photographers would probably edit them out, but I think that urge says something about the combination of nature and man-made objects in the photo and leaving them in makes us address that.
