Create-of Day 3
A cloud half-moon over buildings in the South of Copenhagen.

An Orange and Blue kind of evening.

It's been nice being back in the orchestra, playing some music, but often it doesn't scratch the itch for pure creativity. I often times get pictures from my partner on her way around town and boy was golden hour a beauty.

I sadly missed my timing, but managed to get out and try my hand at some tripod long exposures of the nearly half-moon tonight. While I didn't get my golden hour, I certainly discovered some golden hues in a beautiful contrast to the purpling sky.

When moving to Copenhagen in lockdown, composing became a reality for me. The celestial bodies were an influence for me at that time as I was able to abstract the Moon, Jupiter, Mars, and Venus into musical personas.

Here is my Luna movement from Orbital Suite fro brass ensemble:

Tripods help with long exposures. Also, your moving subjects will nicely censor themselves.

I really love our traveling companion in the sky. Luna is a lonely yet loyal friend, happy to share the light she receives, never asking for much.
