September 6, 2008

It was a grey and rainy day, perfect for touring museums or indoor landmarks.  Stockholm City Hall is famous for being the location for the presentation of the Nobel Prizes in darkest December of each year.  

The greyness of our day and the bright sky overwhelmed my cheapie P&S making the building look very dark.  To counteract the darkness somewhat, I added Poster Edges filter in PSE6.  I liked that the filter addition brought out the detail on the spire medallions which were kind of lost in the original photo.

This was a fun moon shoot in Stockholm because I was able to watch the entire moon-rise/moon-set process over about three-and-a-half hours.  The moon rose just before sunset, floated above the horizon for a while then went down very near where it came up.  Very different from where I live.

Moonrise, 6:53 PM; moonset, 10:42 PM. The shot isn't perfect.  A little slow for the available light and not having brought a tripod with me to Sweden.  I braced my camera in the corner of my window frame so the moon isn't crisp as I would really like.  Still, it was a fun, exciting evening!
