Description This was taken in pitch blackness, 70 minutes after sunset. Exposure was 6 minutes, ISO400, f/7.1. I was shooting so late because me and my workshop client were waiting for the moon to rise. After 2 hours in an icy wind we gave up and went home. As we drove away a blood red full moon rose on the horizon, dissapearing and reappearing through the clouds. It took me a good week to get over the shot that I missed, but so we learn to be patient

Arniston, South Africa

Beautiful! There are shots that miss and that's a shame, but there are also shots where the miss actually makes the shot

Lovely pic. Sorry about the one that got away. I totally understand! I have had some great shots go wrong due to timing and BAD batteries etc. We all have our missed shots.
There will be another day....

Pal, you will love this app for knowing how much light will be on night, where it poses/raises the moon/sun etc: [link] It Β‘s free.
