To rule the night

"And God created two great lights: the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night." -- Genesis 1:16 (KJV)

 

Another copycat photo, inspired by www.flickr.com/photos/kdcyyz/62534661/in/pool-nikond50/ taken by Momba, who used a tripod. I did not use one this time because I figured there would be no camera shake at that shutter speed, but next time -- perhaps tomorrow -- I will use one.

 

I placed the moon in the lower left-hand corner of the photo because I wanted to illustrate the Bible passage quoted above, and I felt that placing in this way conveyed more of a sense of the things of eternity, in that it hints of the vast expanse beyond the moon itself.

 

I'm getting better at this, thanks in large part to the help I am getting from you fine people.
