Shooting the Moon






Last June, I went to Kerry Park on Queen Anne Hill in Seattle to shoot the full moon rising over the city. I wasn't the only one there. Apparently, many other photographers had gotten the word about this full moon business. Now, I know that the moon is full for a couple of nights each month, but only the Strawberry Moon (in June) rises such that it appears behind the cityscape when taken from this spot. It was a lot of fun, and I took dozens of photographs in the hope that one would turn out nicely. It had to, because there are no do-overs... until next year.
