Accented By The Moon
30Oct19
I’ve been saving a few images that include the moon to one day make a set of them … and here it is! In my last post I wrote about the bald, blue skies dominating fall. One plus … a little accent, was the presence of the moon on more than one occasion. I like to include the moon in all its phases in landscapes whenever the opportunity presents itself. It just adds that ‘certain something’ for me!

Your ‘Super Moon Over Cimarron Ridge’ makes a stark contrast between the throughly silhouetted earth below and the gradations in texture and color in the the sky above. And of course there’s the giant moon straddling the border between the two regions.
Yes … that’s what I thought too!
Super Moon Over Cimarron Ridge is my favorite but they are all lovely!
So nice to hear from you Diane! Thank you for visiting my blog!
La luna bella!! The super moon image is so a winner! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Carlos! Glad you like!
Wow. The moon really adds something to the photos. The first and last photos were my favorites.
Thanks Ken. I am glad you like those!!! 🙂
Amazing pictures! You must be at those places at the right time. I don’t think you can catch moon up in the sky and still have plenty of light!
Well yes you can see the moon when it is still light out. It rises and sets at all different times. If you go to sunrisesunset.com you can get a calendar that tells you all the rise and set times for your area, as well as phases. Thanks for visiting!
Ah, thank you for the tip.
These are all so beautiful in their own way.
Thanks Buck. I posted the super moon shot on FB awhile back but never posted it on the blog.
Nice series, Denise. I love seeing the moon in all phases. The supermoon shot is pretty cool!
Thanks Eliza. I’d like to include it more in my landscapes. Tonight it was a crescent above the snowy peaks.
The moon gives to me a peaceful aspect to landscapes, as it made the time slower. Thank you, Denise.
Thanks Francis … I agree!
Lovely images. I enjoy your pics!! Hard to choose a favorite in this set, they are all super awesome!
Thanks Angie … appreciate the visit and comment, and I’m glad you like them!
That’s a beautiful set, Denise!
Thanks very much Deborah. I have a goal to include the moon more often!
Denise, so magnificent! One of my favorite subjects! Really enjoyed as always!
Thanks Vic … glad you like! 🙂
Interesting how much difference in moon size there is between shots, and how much smaller it gets as it rises above the horizon line. Super Moon Over Cimarron Ridge is extra nice – super telephoto too?
Different lenses and focal lengths as well as it looking bigger at times contribute I suppose. I shot the super moon with a Sigma 150-600 @ 435mm from my driveway. Thanks for stopping by!
The images are so beautiful, but it must have been even more magical to experience the accenting moon, while daylight is still trying to keep up the a little longer.
Thanks Otto. I am really feeling a connection to this set and can’t wait to discover the ideal conditions and setting for more.
Amazingly beautiful landscapes, Denise.
Thanks so much … appreciate that! 🙂
Lovely images. I like “Moon over quiet landscape” and “Super moon” the best.
Over-shadowed by the supper moon shot, I’m happier you like ‘Moon Over Quiet Landscape’! I like the feeling of that one a lot. Thanks so much for catching up.
Love the theme of “including the moon”!! Stunning captures all of them! My best to you!!
Thanks Kirt … hope to continue to add to the theme!
I would love it!
Oh yes, the moon is perfect pendant to dress up a drab ol’ blue sky. These are lovely, as usual.
I like that analogy Linda … thank you!
Beautiful!
Thank you … 🙂
Beautifully captured, Denise! ❤
Thanks Donna! ❤️
The moon over Molas has such a fragile, poignant look, it’s lovely!
Thank you Lynn. It is unusual to be able to see the ice as it is usually snow-covered. This mountain grouping is one of my favorites … I love the shapes.
