The moon is full today, Monday,11/2. Last Thursday I followed the almost full moon to this spot in San Martin. I liked the trees and rolling hills in the foreground, but I was much closer to the hills here (than in previous shoots), so I went back on Saturday to find out how long it would take the moon to rise over the hills. After scanning the sky for over an hour past the horizon moonrise time, I thought this might be the first time ever that the moon failed to rise. But patience finally paid off and I learned exactly where and when it was going to peek above the hills. I was ready to return on Sunday for the most favorable photographic light, when the moon's appearance coincides with the sun's set.
The clear, blue November sky provided a perfect backgroundfor another magnificent full moon.
The moon rises fast. I spent a lot of time preparing for the optimal 10 minutes that the moon is big and within touch of the hills. But I'm a lunatic, so I'll do it again next month.
