The moon was bright in the clear sky.
While the goal of the adventure was to capture the sun rising on Broadway, I kept getting distracted by the moon. It was a bright, nearly full moon that stood out against a clear, dark sky.
As it made its way toward the horizon, it crossed the radio tower that sits on top of Bridgestone Arena. I thought the features of the moon, set against the dark ask sky the crossing metal in the foreground was a beautiful photo.

This is a vlog from a moon hunt the other night. This is a very interesting spot that I want to visit again. Probably for a sunrise next time.

Fall Full Moon
This is the same full moon as the photo I posted a few days ago. In this photo my goal was to focus solely on the moon and try to get some of the geographical features to show.
The moon is one of my favorite subjects to photograph because it can look so different depending on how you approach the photo.
Next I'd like to experiment with some really long lenses to get a really up close view.
What's your favorite photo of the moon?

A moon rise is a very unique experience. It happens very quickly and is very difficult to capture. This time-lapse isn't perfect but I do like the orange moon growing brighter as it rises into the sky.

Full Moon Rising
I spent an early fall evening perched on top of a hospital parking garage hunting a full moon. This was a fun photo to make. I really had to earn it.
There was a thick layer of clouds right on the horizon that I knew would be trouble. I was hoping the moon would either break through or the clouds would thin out.
I waited impatiently as the minutes ticked by. Just as I was about to lose hope, I could see a sliver of the orange moon peeking through the clouds.
It wasn't my ideal framing, but the new Westin hotel with the ever present Nashville cranes made a nice setting for a bright orange full moon.
I'll definitely be back at this spot, especially for a sunrise.
