In the surreal darkness along the Marietta Industrial Track near CP Shocks, I made these views of the setting crescent moon in a crisp June sky.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I exposed in Nikon NEF RAW for 4 to 5 seconds using my Nikon Z6-III set at ISO 800 and 1000 respectively. The camera was firmly mounted on my 3Pod tripod.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I adjusted each of the files in Lightroom to better balance the exposure and contrast for the evening light. I gave a slightly different treatment to each photo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
