Day 273 Crescent Lighthouse Moonset

Crescent Lighthouse Moonset


This is one of those once in a lifetime photographs. There was a member event including a tour, the lighting of the light, a presentation and food. I ment to bring my tripod to work that day knowing the light would be lit but I forgot :O :( I still wanted to try and get some photographs though especially since I had noticed the crescent moon was setting just after the sun. After I finished giving the members a tour I grabbed my camera and tried to get the photograph I wanted without a tripod. I managed alright by bumping up the ISO, leaning against walls and railings, and making many extra photographs knowing some would be blurry. I made many decent photographs but this one is the best because the tower is tall and imposing and the moon is shining from a colorful sunset. I do wish the moon was a little bigger in the frame. All in all one of my best and favorite photographs of Split Rock Lighthouse.
