Bob Adler mentioned Thursday that the moonrise can be seen around sundown in
California on March 19th, so I started looking here. In the East, it rises too
early in the day to make a useful photo. I noticed tonight that it was
approaching an overhead position and I had a clear shot, though there was a
slight haze around the moon. Not trusting the weather forecast, I decided to
do my thing tonight.
After trying several tripod shots that were disappointing, I decided to go to
the old standard approach, which Tina Manley mentioned sometime back. Camera
on Manual, ISO 200, Sunny 16 exposure, manually supported, but leaning against
a wall. I gave up trying to manually focus, and set the scale at infinity.
This was the best of five shots.
