Skyline Moonrise from Harbor Island

Let's shoot the the moonrise over the San Diego skyline! (Note: This is on Mother's Day.)

We will meet on the grass across the street from the Safe Harbor Sunroad Marina at 6:45 pm. After the group shot, we'll get set up to photograph the moonrise, the sunset reflecting off the buildings, and the skyline after dark. Moonrise is at 7:07 pm, but it will be a bit later before it rises above the skyline. The sun will set at 7:38 pm, giving us some nice color as the moon rises.

The moon will be rising just to the left of the B Street Pier, from the direction of Santa Fe Depot.

Carpooling is encouraged. There is very limited free parking on Harbor Island Drive, but paid parking may be available in the nearby lots. There is also free parking at Harbor Island Park at the opposite end of Harbor Island, approximately one mile from our shooting location. Keep in mind that you will be walking back in the dark, so it's best to buddy up if you park there!

You will need a sturdy tripod, shutter release, a long telephoto zoom for the moonrise, and a mid-range zoom for the city skyline and Coronado bridge.

If you RSVP “YES”, please show up, otherwise you will be marked a No Show. If you need to change your RSVP, please do so in a timely manner. Except in the case of an emergency, changing your RSVP on the day of the shoot will also count as a No Show. Be considerate of those on the waitlist.
