Super Moon Rising Over the Sheboygan Lighthouse

            Second image in this Super Moon series...

I have been chasing this exact capture for a couple of years and for several reasons I have been unable to make my vision a reality... That is, until yesterday!!!

I went out before moonrise, trying to be in the exact spot where the moon would be directly behind the top of the lighthouse. I was off by 500 yards, but I scurried to the place of perfect alignment, quickly set up my tripod, and fired off many, many shots.

I could not be happier with the results! It was a strong southeast wind, producing the strong, crashing waves, adding a dramatic element to the image.

It was quickly getting dark and I had to keep changing settings to get the right exposure and focus. The results were so very rewarding after so many failed attempts.
