The Moon & Jupiter was created by Frank Ryan
Last Saturday night I was coming home after a BBQ and spotted The Moon
and Jupiter skimming the horizon. It's great to see Jupiter once again
(although the altitude is very poor)
I didn't want to wait for them to swing around to the south
(facing out my back garden and away from an annoying row of street lights)
so I said I'd shoot them through the light pollution, fog and passing cars.
Shur, if you can't beat 'em....
you know the rest.
Now I know some of ye think I go a bit mad with the foreground stuff
but y'know what?
I think it alway makes for a more interesting shot.
(not that the ditch out the front of my house is anything special like.)

Anyway, here it is..

I agree with you frank. It puts the whole shot into perspective. Great shot. Well done!

That's beautiful Frank. Yes I think the lights give a great effect but what I think is amazing is how you've captured the "large Moon low down" effect. It's as you would see it visually well done.....
