Moon

By Words | Published April 6, 2012

Just the moon, but a nice shot taken soon after moon-rise this evening and hence the orange hue. Looking east at a low elevation, rather than looking up, means that there is about 3 times the depth of atmosphere for the light to pass through before it reaches the camera. That's what creates the colour. Fuller technical data in the camera note below.

    Robin, thanks! The good weather has gone the way of all good Bank Holiday weather… somewhere else. Grey here, cold and with rain forecast! Glad that you've got some decent weather though!
