Friday promised a full Pink moon and absolutely perfect conditions for shooting it.  Only problem was that the rise coincided with the first night of Passover.  I somehow convinced my visiting parents to move the Seder up an hour and we were finished eating by 7pm.  I quickly went to the car to ‘pick up some coffee’ and headed to Devereux beach.  I had wanted to shoot a full moon rising over the houses on the Neck for a while and this was as good a chance as any.  I set up and waited in anticipation…

I was not disappointed by the show that the moon put on.  There was just a hint of a wispy cloud that was illuminated in this view as the moon rapidly rose in the sky.  The light was perfect and you can easily make out the beautiful homes at the edge of the Neck in this image.  I put together a quick timelapse of the moon’s rise on the Facebook page if you want to take a look.

I ended up picking up a couple of decaf coffees and was back home just in time for dessert…
