I worked on capturing the moonrise last night and got a couple of wonderful shots. I've got a lot to learn about this venue - as soon as I started I realized that, with an ISO of 200 my exposure length would preclude sharpness as the moon would be moving during the elapsed time. Nevertheless, a great learning experience and I find I am being drawn more to the suggestive than the explicit.
Then I got up and worked on the sunrise/moonset. A whole different set of conditions, of course, and another set of lessons.
Here's the shots I liked from last night and this morning. The first two are the same shot, just cropped differently - 30 sec exposure.

| Moonrise over the Manti-La Sal mountains - +2 EV to get the detail in the foreground and clouds. |

| Clouds and stars - the blueness is what the camera saw at this time of the morning. |
