It&#8217;s been a while since I posted something here.  Currently I&#8217;m fairly busy happily hopping from one side of the island (of Gozo) to the other shooting a short film.  (Yes, that&#8217;s right, I&#8217;m trying my hand at moving pictures).  This photo is a still from tonight while I was getting some footage for the said film.  It was taken at about 3am from home.  I wonder how many of you looked up and noticed the splendid view of the moon, Jupiter and the Pleiades lying fairly close to each other &#8211; quite a Christmas treat if you ask me!  Anyway, if you didn&#8217;t, here&#8217;s your chance.<\/p>\n<p>The picture was a bit tricky to get because the main two subjects (the stars and the moon) have very different brightness levels.  So it was a fine balancing act, calling for some patience as I waited for the right amount of clouds to get a balanced exposure between the moon and the stars.  The detail in the full resolution image is, quite frankly, staggering.<\/p>\n<p>Right, so that&#8217;s my Christmas postcard for all you out there who follow this blog.  Merry Christmas, folks!  My very best wishes to all!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hello folks! It&#8217;s been a while since I posted something here.
