Title: New Moon and treescape for Doug and Rose
Post by: RobertM on Apr 23, 2010, 22:57:06
These two were captured at kelling Heath on the Saturday evening.  It was especially beautiful with the moon trees and sky so I hope you enjoy them:

Nice images. The 11 second exposure shows the lack of light pollution in that area too.

     Thanks, Robert, for taking the photo that Rose asked you to capture.  They are both really fantastic pictures and we are both very pleased with them.  Terrific.

     By the way, the rest of the week was great; the weather very good with only one morning of spasmodic showery rain, so all in all a very good time was had.  It`s worth staying on, if you can.

     Rose  :D and Doug 8).
