Well done on capturing such a moment, you must have loved the journey,, The moon is a familliar sight, something for scale in the middle ground would be terriffic too, Is the iceberg ten meters high or 100 m high? I really love it.. Well done Regards keith

Location
Ilulissat, Disko Bay, GreenlandTime
The picture was taken during a boat tour in end of July at sunset, around 11pm. At this time of the year, the sun is going below horizon for about 2 hours, but the light remains in the sky.Lighting
The sun was very low in the sky, colouring the surrounding icebergs in various tones . The moon is now visible in he sky after being hidden by the midnight sun for two months.Equipment
Camera Canon EOS 1200D, lens 18-55Inspiration

Additionally to the equipment used, I have also bought a zoom 70-300 just before the trip to Greenland. I also have a tripod and my old numeric camera as a back up.Feedback
To get nice colours of Icebergs, it is best to go out at sunset time. The sun being low on horizon is creating a lot of different colours. To see the moon, it is better to go before or after the midnight sun period, as the sun light would mask the moon light. Iceland is also a great place to photograph icebergs, and can be easier to access.
