Cosmic Balance

I took this image in August 2013. I find it interesting to see how I've changed as a photographer since I took this photo. This was the first 2 tier panorama that I did along a series of tests that I did with crescent moon lighting.

This image reminds me a few things with my astrophotography images - cloud can add interesting elements to the image, crescent moon lighting is one of my favourites (refer my article in my blog on quality of light) and - I've learnt since this image to push the camera a lot more. This was at ISO 2000 - nowadays I use ISO 6400 as my usual setting, but will keep changing and playing around with the idea of improving myself.

The distortions around the sides are from the merging into a panorama, but I am comfortable with the effect.
