Moonrise over Mount. Robson

Moonrise over Mount. Robson · **1 Like**

Moonrise over Mount. Robson, the highest peak of the Canadian Rockies. The super clear sky and low light pollution made it a perfect location for star gazing and astrophotography. We didn’t plan this photograph before our trip: as we walked to the lake shore for a night photograph, I saw the shimmering light coming behind Mount. Robson. It got stronger and stronger and I realized that the moon was rising, and about to come into our view. To the right side of the mountain peak, the milky way was soon to be washed away by the light of the moon. I set up my tripod as fast as I could and configured the camera for a selfie of Tammy and myself. Then the magic happened. The moon climbed above the mountains casting its gentle presence over the rocks, lake and us. That was a memorable moment.

This image speaks to me about a place and time I would not know otherwise, and causes me to reply... "I wish I had been there." Composition is wonderful, with subject, horizontal and diagonal lines, varying textures, and an amazing harmony of near and far. Quibble: the light on the ground in front of the couple may be a bit too bright and artificial in colour, creating a distraction from the rest.
But a minor quibble!
