Moon over Missoula: Monochrome Friday

Moon over Missoula: Monochrome Friday March 20, 2009

It was the Goose Moon, according to Cree Indian lore, when the great geese could be seen returning to the northern lands from their long journey south. To see a goose silhouetted in the moon in this night would bring great fortune to oneself and one’s family.

Both photos were taken with Julie’s fancy (fancy like my computer, only fancier) Nikon D90 with 200mm lens (300mm equivalent on 35mm film).

Date/Time: March 11, 2009, 11pm
Location: Missoula, MT, Julie’s back patio
Etc: f/6.3, Exposure of 1/500 of a second, ISO unknown, probably 200 or 400.
Touch-up: Photoshop Unsharp Mask; took out general blur but over-brightened the white edge along the bottom.
