Description

I felt very lucky to be able to capture the Harvest Moon as it set this morning. I left the house early in order to make a photo of the moon, but by the time I hit the road, it had already gone past the mountains. Instead of turn around for the shot, I just decided to drive as fast as the posted speed limit would allow and just hope it lined back up for me. After I passed the little cafe in Hope Valley, there it was, the shot that I had faith in. I pulled over and had less than two minutes to get something. I had my settings somewhat dialed from shooting the moon rise last night and was stoked that I was able to capture it over Waterhouse Peak, a place I have not photographed much. I loved how it looked like it was resting on the trees and rocks up there in the Alpenglow, it looked magical and watching it set felt somewhat therapeutic. I hope everyone is well and enjoys this photo I made of my favorite full moon set of the year "Harvest Moon Setting on Waterhouse Peak"
