Moon Punch

Another night session, this one from the comfort (cold comfort!) of my balcony. I saw this shot last night and didn't get around to taking it until tonight. Thankfully conditions were similar and I was able to pull it off. The high ISO required meant I had to use a but more photoshop than I'd like; furthermore, I didn't do a great job of the photoshop effects. The moon was a bit blurry making it hard to selectively sharpen without bringing out the outrageous grain in the rest of the photo. I wound up sharpening the moon and blurring the clouds.

The color comes from light pollution from the tungsten lights that are everywhere.
