Thanks for the perspective clarification. Look forward to the do over. Not aware of your shooting location, but I wonder if moon rise won't be almost an hour later? I know; picky picky picky.

Over the which I was not tall enough to see. We (my neighbor and I) chose the site because of the barn. We wanted a long view, over a field, something interesting (like the barn) mid-distance, with the moon low in the sky. But we miscalculated a bit plus there was low-lying haze on the horizon. The sun didn't set until well after the moon rose, by the time the moon looked like a moon rather than a white blob, it was too high in the sky to be able to make the barn a more prominent element. We'll go back tomorrow, the sun sets a few minutes earlier, the moon rises 20 minutes later, and we have a better feel for the angles now. Back to the undergrowth/corn: I have many shots taken from a few feet to the left, a point which allows me to look along the roadside edge of the corn field. And some from a bit further back, higher on the crown of the road we were on. I felt that this one that used the corn field as the foreground was less cluttered and allowed the focus to be on the barn and moon. Thanks for looking Jack! stan On Sep 11, 2011, at 10:32 PM, Jack Davis wrote: > Really well done exposure balance. If only the barn were somewhat more > prominent.
