For the second night in a row, I headed out hoping to capture the full moon. Last night offered the better timing of the nearly full moon but, as luck would have it, dense clouds spoiled any view of the moon. I returned to the same spot tonight and set up with two cameras as I test out the Sony a7rII eyeing a possible switch from the Canon system I have been using for the past 12 years.
I set up both cameras with the longest lenses I had and composed this image only to then sit and wait and hope that while cloudy, there might be a chance of moonrise as the full moon rose above the thick clouds. Sure enough, almost twenty minutes after the moon had officially risen, it became visible for a short duration behind a patch of thinner clouds.
The lights adorning Marblehead Light shone beautifully in the evening sky and made for a much more interesting scene (the lobster boats in the harbor helped as well).
