and decided to try something that I had tried back in summer of '86.
Sunrise from Sinai South Camp, summer of 1986.
Sunset today. In hindsight, I should have zoomed in tighter on the moon.
oh, btw. That dark streak just above the tree line is not lint on the rear element of my lens. It's a smoke trail from the dragon I shot down with my Jennings J25.

Good shootin' on both counts!
Zowwy! Nice! Those pics both have that "extra terrestrial" kind of thing going on!
My first thoughts after viewing your pics reminded me of an old Kentucky rifle I once had the pleasure to see and hold.
The gunsmith did his best to show a solar eclipse way back in the early part of the 19th century.
Beautiful !!!!!! I need to see more evidence concerning the dragon !
I picked up my spent casing. That do?
Cool pictures
So...you were playing cowboys and dragons?
Seriously, beautiful pictures.
Impossible pictures, but nice.
Nice
I’m wondering why the right side of the moon is “sunlit” when the sun is on the left.
please explain
Better to explain how the face of the moon is lit when to get such a photo, the moon has to be between the earth and the sun.
Thanks all. I was really impressed with the one from Monday. I honestly expected one half, or the other, of the image to be terribly under exposed. This Canon 6D handled it admirably. Once I master shooting in mirror lock-up that bit of motion blur in the moon will be eliminated.
This was the exposure test I shot prior to doing the double. That tiny bit of motion blur came from vibration caused by mirror movement.
That, is the beauty of photography. One's biggest limitation is the breadth of one's imagination.
One of my favorite quotes is part of one from Aaron Siskind.
"We look at the world and see what we have learned to believe is there. We have been conditioned to expect"
in its entirety
"We look at the world and see what we have learned to believe is there. We have been conditioned to expect... but, as photographers, we must learn to relax our beliefs"

You get better pictures of the moon, than the guys with a rocket that wont launch,,,,
I really like this picture. It is not mine, I do not know who to credit, but I like it.
