Life Through A Lens
Sea of Tranquility
Posted by Stu (Scotland | Residing in Kyoto, Japan) on 2 January 2007 in Lifestyle & Culture and Portfolio.
Saw this on the way home 2 days ago. Luckily, I was able to catch the last rays of the Sun reflecting on the roof of the building.
Oh...and I don't know if the Sea of Tranquility is visible on the moon or not, I just thought it was a good title! ;-)
Hope you like it!

This is a blue to die for! It's Van Gogh's starry starry night. It's the night sky in old Japanese prints. Just exquisite. Congratulations.

Wonderful composition and colours, though I must admit, the haloes look rather artificial to me. I'd prefer a more subtle treatment.

oh for a clear blue sky...Nicely framed and the dodging around the building ahs brought our some lovely detail. Nice one.

A nice job with the composition and framing. but your shutter speed captured the moon, but not the object in front. And as a result of you bumping up the exposure on that building you created the halo. Next time you can create a mask first and then erase the edges so the halos won't appear.

Great composition by balancing the temple and moon in the frame. Overall awesome shot!
