The Moon in a Third Quarter phase. Sometimes called a Last Quarter Moon, this phase occurs roughly 3 weeks after the New Moon when the Moon is three quarters of the way through it's orbit around the earth. If you live in the Northern hemisphere the Moon's left side will be illuminated and the right side will be dark. The light / dark areas will be reversed in the Southern hemisphere. Camera: Nikon D300s. Lens: AF-S VR Zoom-Nikkor 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6G IF-ED (equivalent to 450mm on a full-frame camera). Processed with Nikon Capture NX2.

Brierfield town centre at night, photographed with the camera's white-balance set to "daylight" in order to bring out the colours of the different types of artificial lighting in the scene. This often results in some unexpected effects....for example, the green structure on the left (a war memorial) is actually illuminated by lights which, to the human eye, appear almost colourless. The Christmas tree and the street lights are the same as they appear to the naked eye whilst the shop lights on the far right have a yellowish appearance, although they are actually green & white. Photographed with a Sony RX100 compact camera and processed with Nikon Capture NX2.
