5/9/20 Moonrise and moonrise with Mars

[FenlandPaul]

I’ve been playing with the DSLR a lot more recently and scouting out local landmarks (in the very flat Fens - not easy to come by!) to act as foregrounds to images.  I can get Over Church in Cambridgeshire in the foreground at azimuth from about 075 to 120, so it will hopefully be useful for some shots of objects rising.  Not quiet for the Pleiades, unfortunately!

Anyway, here are some images from a time lapse I’m putting together of last night’s Moon and Mars rise.  Shot with a Canon EOS 1000D and an ancient Vivitar 200mm at about f/4 (I think!) at ISO200 and 0.8s exposure.  Some light cropping  and dabbling in Lightroom.  Still new to this, but enjoying the chase!! 😃
