As the moon rose in the Eastern sky and bathed the valley in its ethereal glow I wondered how to capture the feel of the evening.

A brief thunderstorm had just drenched the valley but now it was clear again and the moon took pride of place in the North Eastern sky. Wide angle and a long exposure was the choice.

Keeping the ISO low and the aperture small this image was the result of a 15 minute exposure. The valley in the moonlight.
