I was planning some astrophotography at Whitney Lake, and arrived at the last bit of sunset and moonset. The moon was cooperative, posing above the dock and in line with a couple other celestial bodies. The dock is lit by the streetlight that is also cooperatively at the shore. It’s so nice when the elements work with you. Indeed, my camera was cooperative, taking the photo just as my finger pushed the shutter release button. And later, my software made the various tonal edits just as my fingers happened to brush against the mouse and keyboard. That camera sure does take good pictures.
