When all the elements come together.
As the sun was setting, illuminating the earth one last time for the day and as the moon began to rise. In perfect alignment the sun and moon met with the alpenglow peaks on one side and the moon rising high above the other.

This image was taken in Queenstown, New Zealand. I had been waiting for this composition to align perfectly for a while. Checking the angle of the moon rise to hopefully capture what it is you see. Getting all the elements to align the snow, the sun, the glow, a clear sky and the moon. It was a magical but stressful day, I nearly missed it because I was late from work and I've never moved faster in my life.

It's moments like these when all the planning, scouting, waiting and execution pays off.
