Continuing the fall color theme, though this time in black and white. I was out shooting in the hills south of Chadron throughout the evening and past sunset. This scene is just after the sun set, leaving soft light and the moon — just enough light on the foreground so I could balance the moon exposure without blowing it out. I like the lines of the tree branches, but the moon is necessary to make the photo worth keeping.

The top photo shows the real moon position that night. But I do like seeing a central moon through the branches. The obvious next step is to have three moons through the branches. I don't think a larger moon would be the right fit, though. The tree is still the main subject, and the moon is
simply a nice cuff link.
