Setting Worm Moon​

WRS 1250 | IQ4 150 | SK120 ASPH | f/11 | +/- 20mm stitch​

I set my alarm early with a plan to head out to Treasure Island to photograph the full Worm Moon setting behind the Golden Gate Bridge at sunrise. But one of the local webcams showed that Karl the Fog was rolling in to give us a glorious low fog event, so it was on to plan B (I would have been standing in the soup had I ventured over to Treasure Island).

Wonderful image, John!

Cheers Arne

Super shot, John. Taken from the Oakland side?

Thanks, Ed! Taken from Lawrence Hall of Science in the Berkeley hills so yes, from the East Bay or Oakland side.

Quite stunning! I have experienced (and shot) the lovely low-lying fog conditions while on one of my regular trips to SF, but only from the Marin Headlands area (which feature in your picture) - never from across there. I'll remember to do so the next time I get an opportunity. That will be a while, partly because Covid is making international travel impossible from my home in Australia and partly because I will soon be having surgery. But something to look forward to!

Hi Ed,

Thanks again! I was actually debating whether to shoot from the Headlands this morning but had my heart set on capturing the setting full moon. And this location is less than 5 minutes from my house so laziness before sunrise generally wins. This was the first low fog event in a few months so I really was tempted. Let me know the next time you make it out here and I’ll show you some of my secret spots! And best wishes for a speedy recovery from your surgery!

Thanks, John. That's marvellous of you and I will certainly take you up on it!

Here are the shots I have managed to gather together during my various business trips...

That’s a stunning set, Ed! I am truly humbled. I suppose I’ll be tagging along with you to find your secret spots...

 

[Ed Hurst]

Thank you! I am sure we can share each other's, and as a local, I'm certain you know some special ones I haven't been able to find

Oh, and I can't take the credit for most of these locations. A good friend has been very generous with help and ideas.

Almost? Looks pretty good to me, Dave. Those trees in the background around the Tidal Basin appear to be in peak bloom. I'm envious. And inspired.

Joe

Joe, when the time is right, I truly look forward to the day when you can join me anytime, but especially when the Cherry Blossoms are in bloom. At the moment, it's still slightly early, as many buds haven't fully opened. Peak to the causal eye is when the surfaces beneath the trees just begin to be covered by delicate soft white and pink pedals. Eventually it forms a colorful carpet at which time the "peak" blooming has just past. I would like to eventually post a few pics that illustrate this. Hope you get the/your Fuji battery indicator issue sorted out quickly, as I and many others look forward to seeing your inspiring imagery.

A couple of 'test' shots with the GFX100S and GF 100-200 + 1.4, nothing exciting or particularly interesting but interesting for me as I test out the camera and lenses. The first image from Rotkreuz one can see the top of Michelskreuz (top middle is the church surrounded by the trees) The Gasthaus Michaelskreuz is not visible from the Rotkreuz vantage point of course.

Michaelskreuz hill climb. which I hope will be run this year.

Same magnolia trees as above, but two days later. Note the difference in ground cover...
