Super awesome moon coming up behind the power plan in Everett, MA.  Photo taken on a tripod exposing for the moon.  The deep blue is how these golden hour photos come out.  Enjoy.

Pompano Beach FL, as the full moon was in it's glory over the Atlantic.  Enjoy

Moon-rise over Ft. Lauderdale Beach, FL.  Enjoy

I grabbed this shot last fall during that giant moon.  Fortunately it slowly rose across the John Hancock Tower and headed towards the Prudential Center.  Enjoy.

Eating dinner at Tavern on the Water in Charlestown, we caught the moon coming up over the buildings across the Boston Harbor. Steadied the camera on the railing to grab this shot. Enjoy.

I was thinking about the full moon the other day as it seemed so bright. This from a few years back. Enjoy.

Pre-HDR. Yes, it looks a bit like an HDR image, but I took this back in 2005 while the family was vacationing in the Grand Tetons. This is a view of the mountain range from Jackson Lake Lodge. A view seen by millions, but on this night, while the sun was setting, the Moon still lingered above the horizon. I just love this area and can't wait to re-visit some day. Enjoy

A few years back, we were visiting the city and ended up staying in Jersey City, NJ.  This turned out to be advantageous for taking night shots of Manhattan.  This just felt better done in black and white and I think it gives it a timeless quality.  Enjoy.

It's been a few days since my last post, so I'll get right to it.  As winter wanes, memories of a family spring break we spent in NYC a few years back that yielded some good pics.  This shot was taken from Jersey City, NJ, just across the Hudson outside the Hyatt Hotel.  Fortunately, the moon was rising at just the right time.  Enjoy.

Remember the scene in Bruce Almighty where Jim Carey lasoo's the moon and pulls it so close, it looks giant sized on the horizon.  Well here it is.  Taken with my 200 MM lens, 2X extender, on a steady tripod.  Enjoy.

Look very close and you'll see the quarter moon up there glowing in the beautiful night in the tropics.  This photo was taken in Aruba at the Hyatt during one of their daily spectacular evenings.  Enjoy.

This photo was taken from the Hyatt in Jersey City, NJ.  The skyline of New York is spectacular from this vantage point and made for some excellent evening photos.  Enjoy.
