As always, excellent commentary from you Linda! BTW, nothing "identical" about your photographic examples!

Linda, I enjoyed #1 and #4, as I am very interested in compositing. I too have benefited from your comments/suggestions in the speciality forums, it's one of the reasons I'm a member of UHH. Bev

Linda from Maine and rgrenaderphto are always on point and constructive. They are the part of the soul of the UHH that attracts photographers who are interested in improving their craft without endless trivial snide comments. I strongly support Linda's suggestions and have personally benefited from her individual comments and recommendations.

Now that a new Super Blood Moon is soon to appear, how many shots are we going to see posted. I photographed the full moon with my Nikon P900, since then I have photographed the full moon, blood moon, blue moon and silver moon in 2016, 2017 and 2018 and they are all identical. Same thing with sunsets and sunrises, yes they are pretty and red but one looks just like the next one. As the arrogant Moose Petersen says if you dont have a background or foreground "you don't have a shot"
I agree with you, I have taken so many moon and sunset images that do nothing for me , they are difficult subjects, the moon moves so quickly in a long lens you have to be fast! It is just to easy to add a moon in photoshop that kills the fun and challenge to me. but when I hit something I like it is worth it.
All subjects need composition for the story, birdsmoons, sunsets and people.

No two sunsets are the same either...each one has its own uniqueness.

Terrific.

Here the lunar winds have deposited some surface scaling onto the burned ridge and spur line. Regrettably, lunar scales retard development of both deciduous and coniferous trees so it will take 60 or more years to see significant growth. Often there is evidence of lunatics being deposited along with the scaling. (Sorry I don't have photos comparable to Linda's)

What I've learned about sunsets, sunrises, blue hour skies, moons etc is that while they can be spectacular, unless the one you're photographing right now IS spectacular, they are really cool interesting and colorful backgrounds for suitable subjects. As usual, I agree with Moose, in that without a foreground and a background AND a SUBJECT (thank You Dale Boyer my Photo 1 Prof) there IS NO PHOTOGRAPH!
And as far as Moose Petersen is concerned, It ain't arrogant if you can do it! And he delivers.
