A Moonlover's Tale - part 3

Greetings fellow photography lovers!
How are you?
No seriously, how are you?

I realize people post a lot of content on Hive and it may seem like a one way street so I am serious about my question above. Jump in the comments if you're ready!

Back to the moon!
Yes I've been working on a tradition to get shots of the moon (now that I can) and I think I'm getting better at it.
I tinkered with my settings a bit changing Iso, shutters speed and F stop (F11 is the sweet spot!)
But also I've changed some of my edits. I usually end up with a minimum of 3 versions that I like.

For the Harvest Moon I started early. Everyone likes a full moon but those half/quarter and in between moons also have something about them, something mysterious.
These are the first shots I took this month.

What do you think?

Of course this can hardly be a Moonlover's tale without the full Harvest Moon!
On Monday Sept 20th at 19:55 the moon was in her full glory (in Curaçao).
I got a few early shots in while she was still rising and she had a bit more of a yellow color.

A bit later, that yellow got brighter and brighter and slowly changed more into a white-ish light (at least according to my Canon m50).

I played around with the shadows and exposure in post and I ended up with my favorite moon shot to date!

I've come a long way my good people, this is years (of suffering!) in the making 😂😂😂.

That's it for me today!
Hope you enjoyed the pics, feel free to ask questions or give me tips or feedback... And if you're up to it, answer the question at the start 😀.

Cheers!
