Bad moon rising
It was one of those days during which I barely got outdoors, in other words, a writing day. By the time I had wrapped up an essay and filed it, along with a nice collection of images to accompany the column, it was late afternoon and dusk was creeping in. There was still time for a walk, however, but I had to take it slower than usual because the temperature had dropping well below 32 degrees and the streets had become very icy. For a camera, I chose the weatherproof Fuji. I'm still testing out its various shooting modes, and with the nearly full moon rising—this one's called either the Cold Moon, or the Long Nights Moon—I wanted to see what I'd get using the Pro Low Light mode, which takes a series of images then magically combines them into a single shot. The result is almost ghostly... more a species of Impressionism than photography. But a little imprecision can be intriguing, and I was pleased with the result.
