Harvest Moon 001

We have had a lot of clear evenings this summer to photograph moonrises. This week the Harvest Moon was enjoyed my many people in the Grand Marais Rec Park.

You only have a few seconds to capture it right behind the light.

I took one wide angle view as the setting sun highlighted the clouds.

A friend who was photographing the moonrise with me told me that in two days the Harvest Moon would line up for a nice moon set over the Sawtooth Mountains and he was right. The moon looked huge at full power on the telephoto lens.

This was my favorite photo of both photo shoots. It was worth getting up early.
