Gibbous moon

Not bad for handheld at 400mm and 1/320 of a second at dawn on February 3rd.
If you view this against a dark background you’ll see the sky is blue-indigo.

New Zealand: our best sunset

I believe the best sunset on our 2017 New Zealand trip was the one we watched in Napier on March 4th.
The first view is one of the few pictures I’ve ever shown here that includes the moon.

The fiery follow-up came just a minute and a half later, so I assume I aimed in a different direction.
