Sea of Tranquility

Posted by
Stu (From Scotland | Working 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.

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.

@Kelvin Chan: Thanks for the tip Kelvin. definitely need a PS tutorial! :-)

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