A full moon is rising tonight on the first night of Passover and, knowing that I won’t have a chance to shoot it, I thought I would share this image of the moonrise from mid-November. I’ve shared two other images of this full moon before but today’s image was the first one I captured that night and, while the moon hadn’t quite hit its peak glow, I really liked the softer look of it as it broke through the haze on this night.
One of my favorite aspects of shooting the moon from this spot near Crocker Park was being able to capture the people gathered at Chandler Hovey to watch the full moon rise. As luck would have it, I spotted a lone seagull flying between the moon and Marblehead Light and was quick enough to capture this frame. Between the people and the lone bird, this image turned out to be one of my favorites of the night. It’s hard to believe that the moonrise took place at 4:14pm – tonight’s will take place at 6:51pm!
