p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Super moon over Nickerson


One of my favorite times to take photos is the day before the full moon as the moon appears full and it rises 1 hour before sunset allowing for compositions with the moon during the magic hour. Late in the day there are always big blast offs of the birds from their nesting area and I intended to capture the birds with the moon in the background. As you can see, this worked like a charm.

Nicely done Morris...now get yourself in position for Manhattanhenge! In the last, lower the moon or raise the bird, sheesh, how tough could that be

Nice, Morris. It's #4, #6, and #7 for me. I would like #5 the best except the OOF bird that is right next to the moon distracts me.

Thank you Eric,
