Moon Pictures

The moon. That great rock in the sky that attracts us with its beautiful beams of light that shine the way.

Seeing a moonrise is an event that can sometimes take you off guard since it looks so large when it first rises over the horizon. Through a telephoto lens the craters can easily be seen and remind us of the constant bombardment that space meteors and asteroids have on our lunar neighbor.

Much of the great enjoyment of getting photos of the moon comes not from the moon itself but when it’s positioned between palm trees, on the beach or ocean, or simply over a beautiful natural scene.

Various phases of the moon can make interesting pictures whether it’s full, crescent, or just a sliver with a large shadow.

The Ponce Inlet Jetties in Florida have a natural beauty that captivates by its serene scenery. At night, a moonrise coming up over the ocean horizon almost has the power to make a person believe in magic. Moon beams reflect off the slippery rocks while a fishing boat patrols.

Daytona Beach hosts fabulous tropical moonrises over the Atlantic Ocean just after sunset. At dusk the sky turns blue over the water leading into night and if you visit at the right time of the year, you will see the beautiful full moon over the waves and through the swaying palm trees.
