🌕 Moon Alignment Photography: The Edge from Hoboken

Join NYPE | New York Photo Explorers for a special evening of photography along the Hoboken waterfront!
We'll gather on the Sinatra Drive North Walkway to photograph a spectacular celestial alignment: the moon will appear to rest on The Edge's cantilevered observation deck at Hudson Yards, across the Hudson River.
This is a great opportunity to experiment with moon photography, architectural composition, perspective, and telephoto photography while enjoying one of the most interesting views of the Manhattan skyline.

### ❤️ A Special Cause: The PhotoPills Community

This event is inspired by the PhotoPills World Meetup initiative.
PhotoPills is also encouraging photographers to support efforts to fund a clinical trial that could help save the life of Carlota, a young girl in Spain, and others living with her condition.
Participation in our photography meetup is completely free. However, we'd encourage everyone to watch the PhotoPills video and learn about Carlota's story. Those interested can learn more and contribute here:
