Moon Setting Over Moss Beach - Publication

My most recent published image, as seen in the Half Moon Bay Review online edition in February.

I had been trying to capture the full moon setting over the ocean for a few years, watching the phases, getting up at 5am and driving down to the beach. This particular morning, I got up and opened the window shade and there it was.

In the few minutes I had before the moon faded in the rising sunlight, I was able to snap seven frames. This was my first and best shot. Taken from my front porch, I knew I would not have time to reposition; it was fading too fast.

I could only imagine what it must be like for sailors at sea, who get to enjoy this view more often than me.
