Experiment in color temperature using manual white balance. This was at the cool end of the scale obviously. I liked the results though.

Very nice, Mojo!

Sanna said...

Pretty! =)

Rune Eide said...

Silly me - I thought the moon was made of yellow cheese!

I swear I heard something howling. :-) Great shot!

Barb said...

Your white disc of a moon is caught in the dark web of the trees! Lovely - I like the experiment.

Hey, spooky AND beautiful! I love moon shots, and trees--loved this.

Photo Cache said...

I easily get spooked by images like this, of course until I realize that there's nothing to worry about.

Carver said...

Interesting shot. Almost spooky.

I can hear the wolfs... Go Wolfpack :)

Dewdrop said...

I'm waiting for the howl... waiting. Wow! Cool, shot! The moon is HUGE!

Fantastic shot, Mojo! Absolutely gorgeous! I'm not able to sign in today for whatever reason now, but I do have some pretty cool skies!

I have yet to take a decent moon picture, but while I wait for a better camera, I enjoy yours! :-)

Daryl said...

A witchy moon .. or maybe an elusive Moon Tree?

Martha Z said...

I haven't yet figured out how to get the moon. This one seems to be trying to hide and not doing a very good job of it.

SandyCarlson said...

I like it an awful lot, too. I am trying to imagine standing in that spot feeling so close to that huge moon. Magic.

Bryan said...

I've always preferred cooler moons to the cheese moons, and this one's no exception. They just seem to better reflect the mysteriousness and falling temperatures that night brings.

Kathy W said...

Perfect shot. LOL it looks like it should be on a book cover about vampires. =)

I like this shot load!
And the words you put to it..

Yeah, it could be freaky.
But with the words
'love the sky you're under'
it speaks in many ways and
I like it that way.

Ghosts are not frightning.
Humans are.

Have a great friday! :)

Kaylia Metcalfe said...

That is an awesome shot.

No wonder people worshiped the moon... I mean, just look at it!

DeniseinVA said...

Great photo Mojo, that moon is truly beautiful, great shot.

I have the most difficult time photographing the moon... and lightning. I love how it shines through the trees.
