Moonset Halo by edwardreese

Captured the full moon setting behind downtown Manhattan on Christmas Eve. Foggy evening but when the sky opened up, a halo could be seen around the moon.

A 30 second exposure taken near the Brooklyn Bridge piers. Reflection enhanced in post.

NYC Thunderstorm by edwardreese

A slightly desaturated version of a spring thunderstorm over Manhattan. Had a fantastic view of the approaching storm from up on the Manhattan Bridge. I remember being completely soaked about five minutes after my frames were captured.

This is five blended images from that evening. Three for lightning and clouds, one for the buildings, and one extra long-exposure for the water.

-Found some nice lightning hidden inside what I originally thought was a way too over-exposed image. Amazing how flexible camera RAW can be to save an image.
