Supermoon and playing with Photoshop

We had another super moon yesterday. I went outside with Penny and saw the moon behind clouds. By the time I had rushed in, got my camera and got outside again, it was emerging from the clouds. So I only got one photo that I thought I could use.
I have played around with it in Photoshop today, just because I could. No plan to use it, no design in mind. I pretty much wanted to see what would happen.

Here is the original.

Here it is with the glowing edges filter.

Cropped further.

I cropped this one further till it was quite pixilated.  Playing around with lightness brought out lots of little areas of colour that I had not seen earlier.


I also played around with hue, saturation and lightness. The filter I used for these was Poster Edges


All these from one dark photo - amazing.

Super Moon over Melbourne

I noticed an article that said that we were going to have a super moon tonight. Unfortunately, I didn't see the article till after it had risen. Not to worry, the moon should still be out there. So off I rushed to see what I could see.
So here are my not very interesting pictures - who knows if the moon is bigger than usual, I used zoom and it was beginning to cloud over.
Zoomed in.

No zoom but cloudy.
It has been a typical Melbourne day, sunshine, rain, sunshine, rain, wind, calm, sunshine, rain. So I took the pictures while I could.

Even more cloud.

Penny came out with me and barked up a storm - there were possums in the tree. I only noticed one but the picture shows another set of glowing eyes (sorry to the possums, I use a flash and they must be blinded for a while).
It looks like a ringtail possum. 


It is a nightly ritual of hers to go out and find possums, then bark loudly. Neighbouring dogs joined in tonight. Very exciting. Not that the possums seemed to be taking any notice.
