Cairngorms Moonrise

[trailer]

This was early last Thursday morning, around 01:30, with the moon rising as the clouds cleared. The Pleiades are visible to the upper right of the moon with Jupiter further over to the right providing just enough light to illuminate the heather. There's even a meteor if you look closely at the top of the shot above the moon. This is Loch Buidhe, which is above Loch Muick, in The Cairngorms National Park, Scotland.

What a fantastic image. How serene and peaceful. You've got a beauty there. 

What was your set up for this shot. It's amazing.

Many thanks Lee. It had been cloudy for most of the evening but fortunately I got a clearing of the clouds just as the moon rose.

This one was taken with a Sony A7IV and a Tokina 20mm Firin f2.0 MF - 20 seconds at ISO800.
