DPNow.com Picture of the Day, Tuesday 17th January 2012

Moonlight over the lake, by veggiesosage

veggiesosage (Andy Platt) is our pick for Tuesday's DPNow.com Picture of the Day (POTD). At first glance Andy's breaks the rules because he has eschewed the concept of thirds. The horizon is near enough straight through the middle. However, the eye is drawn to the moon and that is off-centre, confirming that the rule of thirds does work, even when you think it wasn't actually used. Tto Andy's credit, this shot works very well. The symmetry of the sky and moon reflected in the water of the late makes this a winner. A look at the exif data shows that this picture was taken using an Olympus E-500 DSLR and the exposure was 20 seconds, enough to smooth any ripples on the lake surface and to show a plane's light trail, which looks like a shooting star. Andy has captured a serene and peaceful night scene with great skill.
