Moonrise over Bere Island
I seem to find myself at this location quite often Sandmount, usually for a beautiful sunrise, or during the day. The moon the night before was quite spectacular so I decided to try and capture it rising over Bere Island setting off from home at about midnight. This allows me enought time to get set up. If you manage to capture the moon low in the sky, it is a beautiful red colour before it rises high and looses the red/orange hue and turns a bright colour. Not quite happy with the dark picture with just the sea. I look for something in the foreground. The Oxeye dasies and grass look like they would make a nice foreground but as they are a bit dark, I pop a light on the grass. It's not until I get home and look at the picture, that I think it's the flower, on the right hand side of the picture, against the dark sea adds a lovely 3D effect to the picture.
