Throwback Thursday - My Favorite Harvest Moon - Rising

Hi Jeff Dowler 

This is one of my favorite pics! Thank you so much for the nice words!

Hi  Wanda Kubat-Nerdin - Thank you! 

Hi Ron and Alexandra Seigel , 

I am happy to do so. Shots of the moon are very hard to get so I do like to share the clear images. 

Hi Beth Atalay ,

If the sun is setting just right you get some awesome contrast!

Hi William Feela ,

The Canon camera has a digital zoom button that allows you to focus readjusting the manual zoom. It just double or triples what the camera is set at to fine focus.

Hi Debbie Reynolds - It is almost like shooting with a red filter because of the angle of the sun.

Hi Debe, 

Thank you! I will keep that in mind. I might add it to my carousel on the home page. I used to have just landscape pics and changed most to showcase homes for sellers to see our work. 

Hi Endre Barath, Jr. , 

Every full moon inspires me! A shot like this requires the sun to be just below the horizon to take advantage of the red spectrum. It is not just my timing, Mother Nature needs to help. YOu may be able to get it with the right red spectrum but the moon will not always be full. This combination was just right.

Hi Myrl Jeffcoat ,

Very expensive but a good investment. I bought the lens because we saw a grizzly in Alaska but was too small in the pic. This lens would have captured it perfectly. 

Hi Michael Jacobs , 

Why thank you! It takes lots of pics to get that one that is just right. 

Hi James Dray ,

That is part of a tree branch. The sun was already beyond the horizon. The reason for the rich color. 

Hi Dick Greenberg ,

As you know, you can take lots of shots to get that perfect combination. With a moonrise, you have to be dead on because it continues to climb in the sky. I was very fortunate. 

Hi Sheila Anderson , 

We are lucky to have a wonderful canvas to work with!

Hi Sharon Tara ,

I can't take full credit, my husband and I collaborate on the entire process. 

 Hi Patricia Feager, 

Thank you! My house sits behind Thunder Mtn which blocks the setting sun and provides really rich red colors as the moon rises.
