I was trying to add this for Moonrise Monday, but it'll not get found in day-specific searches due to missing by a few minutes. No mattter, the theme definition asks for moon rise photos, specifically moon rises occurring during sunset the day before a full moon. But I chase the moon near the horizon several times per month. The day after the full moon you can catch the moon setting just before sunrise... an analogous event to the sunset moonrise, but on the opposite horizon. Then there are the crescent moons. One sets to the west just after the sun, the day after the new moon. The other rises just before sunrise the day before the new moon. So there are actually at least four days when you can pursue interesting landscape photos with the moon near the horizon.
Then you have the moon in the sky near a higher apparent horizon, like yesterday when I caught this crescent moon setting in Yosemite Valley. So Moonrise Monday or not, I'll keep chasing the moon several days per month, and share what I capture.

Wow, GREAT photo, Jeffrey Sullivan, great composition and composure.
ReplyDeleteJeffrey Sullivan, I'm with you. I use the moon whenever I want to. The theme is not meant to be restrictive to full moon shots. Thanks for contributing.
