Shine On

I had not planned to shoot the Harvest Moon, but I was out walking the dog near the North River and just before heading home I remembered that the Harvest moonrise would be tonight — and in only a few minutes. I had the SL3 with me and a Sigma 20-200mm that I had been testing, so I decided, on the fly, to head up to the North River bridge and see if I could see the moon come up. And there it was.

As mentioned, it wasn’t a planned shoot and I was barely able to check my settings as I rushed around to catch the moon near the horizon from a number of different perspectives. I caught it over the lobster shack and out over the spit. A big thanks to the woman who pointed out the Great Blue Heron on the post behind the marina.

Also to Uma, who waited patiently for me in the car.
