Photo Sandwich

Today, I finally tried how to "sandwich", or layer two separate photos 

in order to create a new one. 

Everyone who has a photoshop program 

knows how to do that, I guess.

I merely have have access to "Gimp".

It seemed a little complicated in the beginning,

but after a while I "got the hang" of it.

Not perfect but

it was fun and I am happy with the result.

First I selected this photo as the background.

The "Hunter's Moon"

Then I added a different one to layer onto the first.

This one.

 I had to figure out how to make this second one transparent. 

That was the challenge!

In the end I got this.

The moon is still showing through the bird, 

but certainly better than 

the moon in-front of the bird. 

That really would have been odd!

I say: this is my personal touch!

Canada geese in front of the Hunters Moon.

Like it!

Heute habe ich ein bisschen auf dem Rechner herumgespielt und aus zwei Photos ein Neues gebastelt. 

Es hat eine Weile gedauert bis ich herausgefunden hatte wie man das Zweite teilweise durchsichtig macht, 

aber ich habe es geschafft.

Fliegende Kanadagänse for dem Vollmond.

Moonrise over the Bay of Fundy

The news was full of the special event today. 

There was the rise of the "Hunter's moon" to experience. 

A few minutes before sunset I hurried out, towards the side of the island that overlooks the Bay of Fundy, to view the spectacle myself.

First I saw nothing at all 

because of a blue haze that covered the horizon. 

But suddenly there was a faint shine. 

I quickly rigged up the camera and started to shoot 

as the full moon slowly emerged.

On the way home I stopped on the opposite coast line, 

facing towards Eastport, Maine, 

and took a few more photos of the scenerey.

I was already quite dark, but the view was so pretty. 

A perfect end of the day.

Heute ist Vollmond. Man nennt ihn in diesem Monat den "Mond der Jäger", weil die Jagdsaison angefangen hat.

Kurz vor Sonnenuntergang bin ich an die Küste 

der Bay of Fundy gefahren 

und habe ein paar Photos von dem aufgehenden Vollmond gemacht. 

Auf dem Heimweg war es schon recht dunkel, 

aber die Sicht nach Westen, in Richtung Eastport , Maine, 

war noch ein wenig vom Sonnenuntergang gefärbt. 

Was für ein perfekter Tagesabschluss.
