A panorama of the sunset colours, with the waxing crescent Moon, over Red Rock Coulee Natural Area near Seven Persons, Alberta. This is a classic prairie “big sky” country sunset. The Moon is just right of centre. The rising Earth’s shadow is darkening the sky above the horizon at far left. This is a 8-segment panorama with the 24mm lens and Nikon D750, stitched with Adobe Camera Raw.
The waxing 3-day-old crescent Moon in the evening sky over Red Rock Coulee Natural Area in southeast Alberta. The Sun has set at the point on the horizon at far right, at the edge of the dark cloud of forest fire smoke. This image serves as an illustration of the angle between the sunset point and waxing Moon. This is a 9-exposure high dynamic range blend to preserve details in the bright sky and dark ground. Tone mapped with Adobe Camera Raw.
