The rising of the almost Full Moon (1 day before full) on September 12, 2019, taken from home in a quick shot, looking over the old rake I often use for a foreground prop. The dark blue in the sky near the horizon is the shadow of the Earth rising. This is a blend of a long exposure for the ground and sky and a short exposure for the lunar disk itself and masked in to prevent it from being overexposed as a blank disk. I added a modified soft glow / autumn colors filter with Luminar Flex.
Twilight at Prosperous Lake on the Ingraham Trail, near Yellowknife, NWT, Sept. 7, 2019. The colours are accentuated by volcanic ash in the atmosphere.
The Big Dipper and all of Ursa Major in the deep twilight of an August evening, at Eastend, Saskatchewan, with an old farmstead building in the foreground. Shot August 28, 2019. This is a blend of a single long 5-minute exposure at ISO 400 for the dark ground, and a single short 30-second exposure at ISO 1600 for the bright sky. Both with the 24mm Sigma Art lens and Nikon D750. LENR not applied (by mistake — I forgot!) to the long ground exposure, so I had to employ a Dust and Scratches filter in post to eliminate all the hot pixels on this warm night. Serves as a good demo of why you should use LENR. A mild Orton glow added to the sky, and a mild application of a “Dramatic Landscape” filter added to the ground, both with Luminar Flex.
