Weekly Photo Challenge : Contrast

As the moon was waning last week, I noticed it was still quite high in the sky at around 8:00 am. Inspired by others’ recent photos of sunrises, sunsets and moonscapes, I had a go at capturing it. For this photo challenge, I submit a photo of the moon, to which I have applied contrasting effects electronically, including black & white.

The photo itself, taken with a 215mm focal length lens and 1.5x digital zoom, exhibits significant contrast to what is seen with the naked eye, as below [lens focal length 4.3mm].

For this week’s challenge, we were given wide scope to share a photo showing contrast by Michele W at The Daily Post
