After my excursion to Frank Lake yesterday (knew there was a full moon coming, but it did not rise while I was there) I saw the moon rising way later than I expected. Darn thing was: I was passing through the construction site of the Stoney Trail ring road expansion in the southwest of Calgary. Lots of standing water (= mosquitoes) and equipment. So I thought: why not? Would be something different to capture for a change.

Here is a slideshow (http://www.flickr.com/photos/50569829@N06/sets/72157627300236013/show/) of 10 images. So much to learn..... all images are taken on tripod, long exposure, f8, and no flash.

Cool series, Matt! Are they all single frame photos or layered? How did you expose the moon and get enough exposure for the rest of the shots? I actually like the construction as a background. It is quite surreal and kind of unexpected.

All single frame, JAS. Just long exposure, as a matter of fact, I had to darken them quite a bit, cause they looked like daylight. Would have preferred a different subject for the full moon shots, but this was the best I could find as the moon was realtivey low at that time ... an hour later I would not have gotten the moon into the shots.
