Album Moon Shots

I drove to one of the trailheads near Virgin to see the moon rise tonight. I'm still too exhausted and sick from my leg infection to hike, so the drive-by had to do the job.
Unfortunately, I forgot my tripod, so these are just some handheld shots.

The Moon rising last night (4/7/20). This is a composite stack of 2 pictures for focus stack and exposure. I tried to get this picture with the Moon behind the church tower cross but couldn't get everything set up and working in time.

Great shot with the cross.
 
Zion Moonrise
I had this shot in mind for a long time. I knew I had to shoot it a day before full moon so I would have the nice sunset colors before the moon was coming up. I hiked out to my spot about an hour before moonrise, sat down, and waited. And then I finally got my shot with the weather cooperating and the wind dying down just enough so I could take my picture. Mission accomplished!!
I will definitely repeat the shot next month again as I hope there will not be so much dust in the air. We had a lot of storms the last few days and it definitely affected the air quality a lot.

I went out to get a photo of this old abandoned Catholic church out in a field in Colfax County, Nebraska before it was to be torn down. Didn't make it before the cross was removed. Parked out in the field about a hundred yards away to illuminate with the headlights._1087715-HDR.jpg
