It's a little blurry because I didn't use a tripod. My camera don't have much zoom so that's why it's so small. It was 5:30 in the morning and there were a lot of clouds. Only managed to take a few good shots before it disappear.

This entry is for Wordless Wednesday.

They are very atmospheric. I think the clouds enhance the images. Happy WW

See also the great shot of the eclipse at Shutterbug Downunder. It's so much nicer than what I have here.

No story here, Karen. Just pictures. Yeah, it is kind of dark but my camera or maybe I didn't do the setting correctly.

Hi lissa. This image is very dark in nature, kind of surreal. About the setting, I think the white balance could have been set better. I am not sure, but the image composition is good and dawn is good time for taking shots.

I forgot, it's a bit noisy. Since I can't see the ISO setting, I can't say for sure, but you probably used higher ISO to balance off camera shake in dark image. and that in turn introduced grain into image, not necessarily a bad thing.

@Amir: Amir I use ISO 800 - it does have a bit of noise but didn't think I much about the white balance as I was not quite awake when I took this. It was pretty dark and I just could not get it brighter without having the moon being just a white spot. Also I didn't have enough zoom on my camera and I was pretty far away.

Thanks for commenting. I know I still have more to learn about photography and getting the setting right. Your comments are really helpful. Thank you, Amir.

I think the clouds only made the pictures more dramatic and beautiful! Wonderful shots!!!
