Sedona Harvest Moon Setting....

Sedona Harvest Moon Setting Sheri Sperry Realtor Coldwell Banker Cottages at Coffeepot Soldiers Pass Real Estate

 

This is a very rare event like an eclipse, it only lines up possibly once in a lifetime.  My husband saw the trajectory of the moon and set up the camera and waited.  This is an image he is extremely proud of because you would have to be standing in front of our house to duplicate it! There is only one shot of these pics using a 200mm to 500mm lens. 

The two rock formations are Thunder Mountain on the left side and Coffeepot Rock on the right side. See the image below for context... (taken at a different time).

Very cool Sheri Sperry - MCNE® I love the "transparency" of the moon.

If we have a clear sky Bob "RealMan" Timm,  the moon is always clear and bright. But you have to use a tripod.

Morning Sheri.

Once in a lifetime, nonsense, you'll be around for the next time it happens

Sheri Sperry - MCNE®

HI James Dray - All I can say it is possible and plausible. However, the realm of total eclipses can be determined but the exact same path ...not sure the phase of the moon and the position will be duplicated. I have not seen it in this position in 15 years. In my opinion, it is not something I will see again in any other full moon cycle.

Good morning Sheri Sperry - MCNE®  - you and you husband must must have been watching this one and anticiating.  I am sure the Wayne and Jean Marie Zuhl  were also aware of this since this is one of their interests.

Watching, of course. But these pictures are amazing!

Hi Grant Schneider, actually most of the time it is just happenstance. My backyard faces east and my front courtyard faces west, so just walking in and out of my home I get to see some great sunrises and sunsets.

Hi Gabe Sanders - Rick had to run to get the  camera,proper lens and tripod set up.  It was just a coincidence he happened to be outside when this was happening.

Thank you Amanda S. Davidson - There are so many times that there is an impressive image to capture. Fortunately, this was one where everything fell into place, including the moon! LOL!

What s great shot, Sheri. I tried to capture the moonset this week, but it wasn't as dramatic. The red rocks back drop is just perfect...

Sheri Sperry - MCNE®

Hi Debb Janes EcoBroker and Bernie Stea JD - You make a good point. I am very lucky to be able to capture images with the red rocks in the background. Some photos need some context or background and the red rocks offer that background.

Thank you Belinda Spillman. My husband uses a tripod to capture shots like this.

Hi Jeff Dowler, CRS - He was! It is hard to see the moon setting unless it is quite illuminated and either full or near full. Fortunately this was!

That is quite the special placement that nature has provided, Sheri.  It's almost as if it knew you would be lurking out there with a lens.

Hi Myrl Jeffcoat - Good point. Everything had to be just right.....AND we had to notice it.
