As we prepared to leave our hotel for our early morning game drive in search of the Royal Bengal Tiger, a full moon in all of its detail was very much in evidence. I spot-metered on the moon itself. It was so bright that it allowed me to shoot this image hand-held at 1/40th of a second. There was just enough early morning light to barely make out the cupola of our hotel just below the moon. The dark cupola is a good example of abstraction – it is there but not there, at the same time. It leaves much room for the imagination of the viewer to work. Together, the moon and the dimly seen cupola make a picture that richly expresses the mood we felt here.
