Alien Moonrise over Twin Peaks

Alien Moonrise over Twin Peaks - Goat Mountain. Chugach Mountains, Alaska. Photo taken from the Knik River Access along the Glenn Highway. Panasonic DMC-GX85 with Olympus DZ 50-200 SWD lens. This is not a composite image, but was just done with (heavy handed, and very excessive) editing in Adobe Lightroom.
When photographing the scene, I used -2 stops exposure compensation to keep the moon from clipping too much, and then was able to edit to taste (tasteless?) in Lightroom.

A Love Story
A love story - This is the Olympus kit that got me started exactly 35 years ago! An Olympus OM-2S, 35/2.8, and 100/2.8 lenses. (Unfortunately, this isn't my original 35/2.8, as I had foolishly sold it off when it was a duplicate to a 35/shift and a Tokina AT-X 35-70/2.8 lens). The 100/2.8 is still my all-time favorite lens. I've earned more money with this lens than any other.
The OM-2S has well over 100,000 pictures on the odometer, and had been with me everywhere until about a half-dozen years ago. I estimate somewhere around 125,000 pictures. It still works well (several CLA's and repairs through the years) and the handling and mode controls are the best of all the OM bodies. And the sound. Oh, that sound. The OM-2S has the most unique sound. While the OM-4 and OM-3Ti have taken over as my primary OM bodies of choice now because I mostly use B&W film and the multi-spot metering is better for that, the one camera that is so perfect for handheld, portrait, and event photography is the OM-2S.
While every OM (single digit) body is special, the two that are unmatched are the OM-3Ti and the OM-2S.
35 years have past since I picked the OM-2S over that Canon A1, and I've never regretted that decision.
