Clouds, clouds and more clouds

Argh, its been almost 3 months with 100% cloud cover here in Finland. Luckily we had a break in weather last night and I quickly planned another moon shot with TPE.
This one didnt go as planned, I tried to get the moon directly behind the tower of Puijo (Fantastic viewpoint located in Kuopio). However I estimated the position of the moon bit off, I still quite like it.

Moonrise over the city streets

Moon is one of the most photographed celestial objects, 99% of the shots are moon in black background. It gets kinda boring after a while, what Ive done is trying to get something else for scale and to keep things intresting.

Using a software called The Photographers Ephemeris I calculated the direction of moonrise. Luckily there is plenty of long streets in my hometown that go from east to west. This software is very easy to use (Google Maps style interface) and also extremely useful for photographers looking for that perfect sun- or moonrise shot.
