Backlighting II
A full moon rises above Lake Michigan behind the lighthouse at the mouth of the Algoma, Wisconsin harbor.
I consider this a companion image to a sunrise I captured in a similar pose – both taken within a week of each other. The original “Backlighting” is on the right. Click it to view the full size post.
Getting the moon (or sun) in just the right position is a challenge in itself. You don’t realize how much movement there is in a rising or setting sun. The moment you get into position, the subject has moved off their mark. On both of these shots, I would be constantly moving to my left and down the bank along the beach, trying to line up the shot.
To see a larger version of either images, just click on them.
