Catch the "Sturgeon" Full Moon Rising Over Manhattan

Let's shoot sunset and then catch the Full “Sturgeon” Moon rising over Hudson Yards - From Across The River at Lincoln Harbor in Weehawken

August 9th at 6:25 pm
Meet at Port Authority Bus Station - NJ Transit Bus 158 Platform/Stop

Bus fare $4:10 exact fare in cash needed! (both directions) (Senior fare $1:80) or buy a virtual ticket on NJ Transit app.

We'll take a very short trip on the Bus # 158 leaving at 6:45 pm to arrive at Lincoln Harbor in 10 minutes.

Then we will walk down to the waterfront and find a best spot to shoot.

We can practice setup and shooting on a tripod at sundown and after dark. Hopefully we will have fewer clouds than on my first attempt pictured above!

Golden Hour is from 7:23 pm. (Hudson Yards in Gold?)
The sunset is at 08:01 pm.
Moonrise at 8:30 (will show a little while later when it gets above the buildings.)

Afterwards we can visit a nearby restaurant for snacks and beverages before finding a bus back to Manhattan.

Bring your tripod for long exposure and night photography. A long lens would be most useful for this event but as always all cameras/cell phones etc. are welcome.

***

It is summer and will likely be very hot, please dress appropriately, wear comfy shoes and BRING WATER

Don't forget your charged batteries and empty memory cards.

Please be on time! The NYC Subway System is a hellscape of unimaginable delays that will wreak havoc on your mind, body, schedule, and soul. Plan your trip with some extra time! THE BUS LEAVES AT 6:45, if you miss it there are more buses not long after but you will have to find us.

Details of this event may be added or changed at any time, so please check in periodically on this page. Cell phone numbers are private and will not be provided. If you have questions, please leave them in the comments below before the event begins. I have to admit to often forgetting to check the phone once we begin shooting!
