Moon shadow on barn roof ~ Peru, NY - in the Adirondack PARK • click to embiggen
Christmas tree at Orchard House Catering ~ Peru, NY - in the Adirondack PARK • click to embiggenLast night, while driving home from the wife's firm's Christmas party at a beautifully renovated farm house (Orchard House Catering), I was struck by a bright barn roof with a moon shadow. The nearly full moon was perfectly positioned in time and space relative to my position in time and space to create a bright reflective glare on the barn roof.
And speaking, once again, of time and space, since I was tripodless, it was very fortunate that, at the roadside, an underground utilities box was also perfectly positioned therein. It afforded me at perfect surface on which to steady my camera.

Ha! A tip of the hat to Sir Ansel's "Moonrise, Hernandaz, New Mexico".
I've read that in Ansel's print he darkened the sky considerably. See http://notesonphotographs.org/index.php?title=Sexton,_John._Moonrise,_Hernandez._Ansel_Adams_Printing_Notes_%E2%80%94%E2%80%9CTranslation%E2%80%9D
I love the blue coloured paint and wall paper in the second image. The lit tree just seems a little too luminous, but it is Xmas and it is a white tree.
Moon Shadow.
I like it.
It looks like a UFO from afar. That shot of it in an open field gives it an ominous glow. It's very cool, indeed. What camera did you use for those?
