I’ve been a bit vacant on social media these days and my apologies for not checking in with all of you on a more regular basis. Life has been a bit busy lately! I hope to get back to normal within a day or so.
In the meantime, I wanted to share with you a picture I took last night of the moon rising behind the Oakland side of the Bay Bridge taken from Treasure Island. There’s another angle I’d like to try sometime but it wasn’t too bad from this side. I hardly ever do night shots mainly because I’m too lazy to go out later haha but I did enjoy it. Perhaps I need to make more effort in the future. 🙂

Oh my, Laura! This is a gorgeous image. By the time I see it in SF it’s high up. Guess I need to get down to the water. 😉 Terrific shot.
March 24, 2016 at 11:22 am
Thank you Jane! I’ve also thought a moon rising pic would be great from Sutro Tower. It has to be the right angle though.
March 24, 2016 at 9:44 am
Super image.
March 24, 2016 at 11:21 am
Thanks much Victor.

Thank you Belinda!
March 24, 2016 at 10:15 am
Oh that’s fantastic!! Well timed to get the moon in between the city and the bridge 🙂 Great composition!
March 24, 2016 at 11:21 am
Thank you Sarah! It wasn’t there long that’s for sure.
March 24, 2016 at 12:40 pm
No, the moon rises faster than people expect!!
March 24, 2016 at 12:47 pm
Sure does. No time for screwing around with settings! Gotta be ready to go!
March 24, 2016 at 1:42 pm
Absolutely!! We know our craft well 🙂
March 24, 2016 at 1:49 pm
Well sometimes anyway…for me! LOL
March 24, 2016 at 1:54 pm
Just say- Yes we do! 😉
March 24, 2016 at 10:52 am

March 24, 2016 at 11:12 pm

March 24, 2016 at 11:48 am
This is a spectacular shot!

Thank you!
March 24, 2016 at 1:46 pm
Beautiful!
March 24, 2016 at 2:12 pm
Thank you!
March 24, 2016 at 5:42 pm
A wonderfully dramatic image Laura- it is as if the man-made is trying to capture the universe-but universe wins-again!
March 24, 2016 at 6:14 pm
Oh I love how you describe this. What a fantastic analogy for life! Thank you for your comment and compliment. 🙂
March 24, 2016 at 5:45 pm
This is so beautiful, Laura. What a shot. The moon looks like it’s very cheeky being there, trying to outshine the bridge 😀
March 24, 2016 at 6:15 pm
Funny you should describe it this way. The previous comment eluded to this as well! Thank you Mabel. I was really happy to get this. 🙂
March 24, 2016 at 6:32 pm
Stunningly beautiful! This one needs to be on Nat Geo!
Thank you so much for sharing, Laura.
March 24, 2016 at 6:42 pm
Aw thank you! Put in a good word for me will ya’? :-).
March 24, 2016 at 6:43 pm
Beyond words….
March 24, 2016 at 7:03 pm
Nice shot Laura.
March 24, 2016 at 7:15 pm
Thanks so much. 🙂
March 25, 2016 at 4:58 am
Nice moon!
March 25, 2016 at 6:27 am
Thank you Raj!
March 25, 2016 at 8:49 am
Wow, not much margin for error on that shot! Well done.
March 25, 2016 at 11:24 am
Thanks Robin! No there really wasn’t. I just kept taking pictures. Click, Click, Click
March 25, 2016 at 11:43 am
Laura, this doesn’t even look real!!! The moment I saw I wowed out loud. The way you captured this makes it look as though that moon is just hanging there suspended from the bridge by an invisible thread. This is SO cool!! What a shot!!! LOVE IT! ❤
March 25, 2016 at 11:45 am
Thank you so much Amy! I prepared by using that TPE app I love so much. It really helps to pinpoint exactly where the moon will rise and what time. I’m finding that when I prepare like that, I get much better images since I do landscapes mostly. Thanks again. You made me smile!
March 26, 2016 at 11:40 am
oh wow I love it under the bridge!!
March 26, 2016 at 3:41 pm
Thank you. It was there for only seconds really. I couldn’t believe how fast it was rising!
March 30, 2016 at 8:08 am
Beautiful photo Laura: -D
March 30, 2016 at 8:09 am
Thanks so much Irene. 🙂 I haven’t seen you in my stream lately. Have you been posting?
March 30, 2016 at 8:29 am
No, I haven’t been posting for long time Laura. I do still take care of my mother far away from my home.
March 30, 2016 at 9:49 am
Ahhh….I see. I hope she is ok.
