Craig Peterson’s Moon Over Timberline is a striking composition that blends the glowing, golden moon with the dark silhouette of a treeline, creating a moment of serene beauty. The composite photograph was captured in two locations: The golden moon shining brightly over the artist’s backyard was taken with a high-end DSLR and long lens, and the deep forest was captured during a visit to South Dakota’s Custer State Park with a versatile bridge camera. The contrast between light and dark creates a harmonious composition, showcasing the artist’s 45 years of experience in balancing elements in his work. The piece reflects the artist’s love for abstraction, where nature meets ethereal beauty. It’s not just a visually compelling image but also an invitation to explore photography as both an art form and a tool for inspiration.
