still stalkin'

click 'er for bigger - moon setting

Once again, no luck this month with the rising moon. Tuesday evening was my chance, and while it was a gorgeous sunset and dusk, the clouds obscured the rising. I made a couple of exposures, but not quite what I have imagined I'd like to see. Upon further consideration that perhaps this same location would be an interesting one for a night time photo, I was prepared (in concept) to make an expedition during the middle of the night. But after driving past earlier in the evening, I could see the intended location is directly adjacent to a sodium vapor street light. The light pollution would be considerable, and anyway, it dipped into the low 30's last night. Not sure I am prepared to sit around for an hour during one exposure freezing my bipee off. Maybe this morning?
