Very moody and surreal, very nice. Is that film grain? It doesn't look like noise.
I think you have captured why it means so much to so many.

Thanks Wazza and Mark.

Yes it is film grain,it was shot on Kodak Elite 100 iso color transparency film, a film that is considered to be one of the finest grained emulsions in it's class. I sometimes wonder what all the fuss is about regarding noise on digital slr's, I have to shoot at iso 800 on my 400d before I see grain/noise like this, we are spoiled these days! The original was scanned on a Minolta desktop film scanner,then converted to monochrome.

Les.

Sorry Wazza I forgot to answer your question,and I tried to edit the previous post but the edit was refused due to a syntax error.I asked Manroy what a syntax is and he reckons it is something that is added to a bill in a brothel.
OK I digress now back to the question. The glow in the sky was indeed from the moon,if I had arrived ten minutes later I would have missed this amazing spectacle so I feel very lucky and privileged to have witnessed such an event.I have a shot with the moon in that I shall upload asap.
