Full moon rise behind the Hancock

Let's go back to a favorite and catch the full moon rising behind the Hancock tower, but with a twist. Our viewing angle will be such that the Hancock is faced short side on, looking very thin, making for an interesting take.

We will be almost a mile away from the Hancock, the 100-300mm lens range will work beautifully. 10-stop ND filter for a moon streak as above, or take short exposures for individual moon shots and time-lapses. The moon will rise 2 minutes before the start of the blue hour, so streaks or time-lapses can be entirely contained within the blue hour.

After the moon is high enough, we can photograph the waterfront and skyline.

No guests, as always, and make sure to check in with the organizer.
