Moonrise, Meadowvale


So, as the story goes, I was walking through my condo last week when I looked out from my balcony and saw this scene unfolding. I stopped walking, started screaming for my camera, tripod, etc., and I couldn't find my light meter! Knowing that the moon's luminance is 250 candles/square foot, I metered accordingly and with my last glass plate I made this exposure!

Actually, the scene just reminded me of the classic Ansel Adams image, so I took the picture.
