Behind The Lens

Location

I shot this image of the full moon rising on the East River in NYC in my neighborhood.

Time

This was about an hour after sunset. It's always challenging to find an opening through the buildings across the River to compose an interesting shot!

Lighting

I loved the building roof top silhouette & being able to get the moon's details before it getting too high in the sky.

Equipment

Hand held & zooming (550m) with my old Cannon.

Inspiration

I always try and shoot the full moon rise where ever I happen to be all year long. I like to find unique locations for my compositions!

Editing

I do very little post-processing. I compose my images in my view finder and seldom crop!

In my camera bag

Bare minimum...extra batteries, lens cloth & flashlight!

Feedback

Get out there... practice and stay aware & safe!
