An experiment in viewing some local phases of the
moon here in southwest Louisiana.

were made and the images enhanced with multiple layers
before alignment and size adjustment.

2. August 1, 2007: 1/250 sec, f/5.6, ISO400

3. August 5, 2007: 1/50 sec, f/8, ISO100

4. August 7, 2007: 1/80 sec, f/5.6, ISO100

Quite nice phases you have here. Photographically I see that detail level is rising from left to right due to light angle change. Also, I do not know why, But left one is not quite sepia looking and is not fitting in with the rest (and that is why one thumb less than possible). Welldone. Keep it coming. My Best Regards.

Thanks Zeljko for viewing my image and rating it. The left image was taken and left as shot (only enhanced in use of USM tool). The tint of color was from air polution, I guess.

I am building yet another set to place on PhotoSIG later on and all will have the same color or lack of color. I had wanted to show the images as taken. Thanks for looking and especially for your kind words. Cheers. Joe

Thank you Aymx for the vote of confidence. The photo(s) have only taken a week thus far. I am continuing to take image every few days and plan to do a montage of images after a full month. Thank you for looking and for your kind words. Cheers. Joe

Nice. I also had such idea to get all the moon phases together. But I think if you are keeping them together it is better to have the same size and the same colour. Now the first moon looks like "out" the image.

Hello Kristina. Thank you for looking at my latest submission and for leaving a comment. I made a point in not color correcting the image as it was taken. The first image was probably with a lot of dust in the air. Hot, humid summers down here in Louisiana and a "clear" day is not necessairly a clear day. Appreciate the constructive comment. Cheers. Joe
