Moonrise, Joshua Tree, December 2017

March 11, 2018 in photographs

Camera and Lens: Bronica SQ-Ai, Zenzanon PS 150mm f/4
Film stock: Ilford HP5+
Exposure: 800
Developer: Ilfotec HC

Another exposure from Joshua Tree National Park.

I've been developing some fascination with the Moon lately. Not only for experiments like long exposures, but I also like to take regular exposures of the moonrise like this one.

There's something unnatural about seeing the bright Moon in the sky, and the shadows that the landscape creates going in the opposite direction. Somehow, it has a very calming feeling to me.

I took a few similar ones, but this one was the strongest in my opinion.
