I got you email about the bright planets so I headed up to the Parkway to catch moonrise. I got there just before the moon broke the horizon and waited a fe minutes for it to get high enough to be clear of the city glare. Clouds were moving south, towards the horizon, so this was one of only a shots I got with all three planets and the moon. Over the next 30 minutes there were clouds blocking some or all. But I still got this one shot!

Nikon D750, Irix 15mm Firefly lens. Using a didymium filter to cut the city glow as I am looking out over several cities in upstate SC.

Adjust temperature, take down some highlights as city lights were still bright. Usual bit of clarity, vibrance and saturation to match what my eyes saw.
