The Harvest Moon of September 24, 2018 in thin clouds and above a field of hay bales in southern Alberta. The rows of bales run east-west and due east is at left here down the row where I am standing. The Moon came up just south of east this night, despite being only 2 days past the equinox and almost exactly Full. That was due to its position south of the ecliptic. This is a single exposure, 1/8 second at f/11, and ISO 400 with Canon 6D MkII and 135mm lens. I applied a mild Orton “glow” effect using the Luminar plug-in. Sharpening of the foreground, noise reduction of the sky, and vignetting effect added with Blake Rudis Zone System Effects v5.
